If you do proceed (without a new system in your backyard) get a HEFTY

Big talk. Easy to do from behind your keyboard. The price it is at
NOW may (or may not) be a fair market price WITH the septic on the
neighbor's land. What if the price is ALREADY thousands of dollars
below that of similar houses with their septic systems on their own
land? Then to get even more off, you'd be "double counting" the
septic easment discount.

The "market" may not even recognize any discount here. WTF is it to
you if you have a right to have your septic tank on your neighbor's
land???? More likely to reduce the sale price of the neighbor's place
than yours, who'd want to buy a place with the other guy's septic on
it? But really, what is wrong, how does it inconvenience you in any
way, if you can foist your leach field off on your neighbor? The
title search will verify the easement. What's the problem actually?

While this is not common, I have heard of it before.
