Due Diligence in Suffolk

I was reading a story the other day in the newspaper and thought this is a perfect case of making sure you do your due diligence in Suffolk or other areas for that matter.

It seems Mr and Mrs Bright wanted to live in rural western Suffolk on about 34 acres of land. So they contracted to have a 2,300 modular home put on the property and made an application to have Dominion Power bring electricity to the house. Her brother and sister owned land right there also and used Dominion Power. Well it turns out that Dominion Power only serves part of the land but not the part of the land that the house sits on. Now the Brights had to start over again with Community Electric Co-op. Seems that they didn't any deeded access to the property and had to get access from a neighbor's property and he had to give Community Electric Co-Op permission which he did.

The house has been 99% finished for a few months pending installation of the power. That is supposed to happen shortly. I guess the moral of the story is that just because you a power line on your land and your brother uses Dominion Power, don't assume that you will be getting your power from Dominion Power. Same with cable and telephone service. Make sure you do your due diligence in Suffolk or else where for that matter.
