Know your land title boundaries and easements!

With the re-building of residential and commercial properties by property owners and insurance companies now being well underway, we are noticing an increase in enquiries from land owners with regard to the extent of their boundaries or asking us to explain easements registered against their title.

In some instances, a proposed rebuild plan can be prevented because of an easement in one part of the property with a prohibition on building in that area. We have also come across situations where the boundaries are not where everyone thought they were meaning one party is in adverse occupation or there is a small remnant of Deeds land which now needs to be dealt with. This can be a costly and time consuming process to sort out.
