Most development projects involve site assembly issues. We are used to dealing with a wide variety of development scenarios, and deal with obtaining vacant possession; restrictive covenants; boundary disputes; rights of light and party wall issues; creation or extinguishment of easements or other third party rights; and any other title issues which may impinge upon the successful conclusion of the relevant project and the production of a marketable asset;
Audit and discharge of restrictive covenants
A common reason for land not being developed is that it appears to be affected by restrictive covenants. The law relating to the enforcement of such covenants by subsequent parties is highly technical. We can undertake a detailed examination of such covenants so as to consider their legal enforceability and to appraise the likelihood and cost of their modification or discharge by the Lands Tribunal.
Marketability audit
There is little merit in acquiring and developing a site if significant issues are raised in respect of it by the subsequent purchaser. We can undertake a preliminary investigation into a site before, or whilst you are negotiating its acquisition, to ensure that what you agree to buy is indeed marketable.
