Re: Common parts

Hi Nigel

Thank you for your reply.

However, you have not addressed the section that refers to 'Public liability' There is no public liability for our complex. I believe that this is a legal requirement! Who would be held responsible should there be a claim? Would the developers be responsible and ...

Re: Mortgage on land

Hi Nigel

Thank you so much for your explanation: it all makes sense. I had been told that while there were mortgages on the land we would not be able to get our title deeds however, now having read your explanation this is not exactly true for as you say the developer will have the title deeds ...

Re: Mortgage on land

Hi Nigel

I cannot understand why the developer cannot be held in breach of contract when he has taken out additional mortgages on the land which will, as I understand it, prevent him applying for separate title; which according to our contract he has agreed to do within two years of completion ...

Re: Mortgage on land

Hi Nigel

When we were purchasing our property I had our lawyer conduct the usual searches. He discovered that the developer had taken out a mortgage on the land which the developer assured us via e-mail (which I still have) that the mortgage would be repaid by clients purchasing the properties by ...

Re: Management Committee

Dear Nigel & Ruthie
Thank you both so much for your replies.

Re: Management Committee

Dear Nigel

Would we legally be able to form a Management Committee prior to our title deeds being issued? Are the Management Company legally obligated to carry out their duties until our title deeds have been issued? I understand that the management agreement has to be lodge with the Land registry ...
