So, it's not the intention here to fault the agent for showing the buyers of Lot 6 the subdivision plat. This plat shows the easement on the servient Lot 5 for the benefit of Lot 6. The reason the easement was placed was the fact that the X's mark the location of numerous phone, electric and other utility boxes. There was no room to access Lot 6 directly from the public street.
An important thing to know here is that the Seller is the owner of Lot 5 also, thus owning both the dominant and servient parcels as regards the easement.
The problem with this step is that the real estate agent doesn't specify in the contract or addenda that it is contingent upon "Insured Specific Access." The contract is for the purchase of Lot 6 of this subdivision.
