In addition, any encroachment into an easement area will be identified. An RPR will not only show the location of all improvements relative to property boundaries, but it will also show where all easements or rights-of-way are located. In a real estate transaction it is important to obtain a Real Property Report (RPR) prior to purchasing property. In all cases, however, it is important that the purchaser know where registered easements are located and what restrictions accompany them. In other cases, the location of easements or rights-of-way may have a very significant impact.

Most urban and many rural properties are subject to easement or right-of-way agreements. Easements remain on the title until the holder of the easement discharges their rights from the certificate of title.Īn easement or right-of-way usually describes a particular portion of property, and although not visible on the ground, provides an area of access to the holder of the easement or right-of-way.Įasements and rights-of-way are very common. They remain with the land and are automatically transferred from one owner to another as the land is sold. While these agreements grant rights, they also have the effect of partially restricting an owner’s use of the affected portions of land.įor example, if you own property and a utility company has a main gas line passing under your land, it is likely that they will have a registered easement that will guarantee them access to the line and restrict uses or activities that would hamper such access or cause safety concerns.Įasements and rights-of-way are usually registered on the certificate of title to the property.
