Understanding the impact of Encumbrances on ownership and development
Encumbrances are legal rights or restrictions that affect a property’s title. These include easements (rights for third parties to use part of the land) and restrictive covenants (limitations on how the land can be used or developed). Encumbrances can impact property value, development potential, and the ability to sell or transfer ownership, so it’s important for property owners to be aware of them.
Easement Removals & Creations
Whether you need an easement created or removed, our team can assess the easement particulars and provide advice on if and how your easement can be created or removed. We conduct thorough research to determine if permits are required or can be avoided to streamline unnecessary delays. We can determine when a site survey is needed to accurately show the easements location. With our comprehensive approach, we ensure a smooth and efficient process tailored to your specific needs.
Restrictions
Land use and development are often governed by restrictions and covenants, which may be imposed by planning authorities or developers. These can regulate aspects such as building heights, subdivision rules, design standards, and material usage.
Our Licensed Surveyors specialise in the creation, modification, and removal of title restrictions. We provide expert advice and tailored solutions to help clients navigate regulatory requirements, ensuring compliance while maximising land potential.
