Hello, I am interested in purchasing a 18' x 325' strip of land from my neighbor to complete a fencing project for my front yard. The addition of the land would make a more natural boundary between our two yards. My neighbor is open to the idea, especially since he is putting his house on the market in a few weeks. A signed permission letter from him may have worked if he was planning on staying, but that is no guarantee that the new owner would agree to it. So, I am faced with purchasing the land from him, or can I purchase an easement from him?
I'm not sure what the best approach is. Please advise.
Thanks,
