Damp proof course - whose responsibility?

by depunity

Hi,

The wall of my neighbour's single story extension runs along our boundary. The extension was built in about 2003, without planning permission nor building regs, by a previous owner.
Our garden rises towards the extension, and is above the level of the extenion's damp proof course....

Splitting garden with outbuilding on deeds

by cssuk

Hi,

A property was purchased with intention to live in and there have been works done on refurbishment including making an outbuilding at the end of a very long garden (via permitted development)

We have decided to instead put the property out on rent.

The house...

As a suggestion, you are probably aware that while you live in a house any increase in value does not attract CGT when you sell it, and it is recommended that if you move out of a property to rent it out you should have it valued (2 valuations) as when you eventually sell it you have to pay CGT...

Roof terrace not demised - whose is it?

by Audrey v

Good day to you all!

I am in the process of purchasing a property in London. It is the first and second floor of a conversion. The survey is happening today so I am not counting my chickens just yet, but I want to prepare should this go ahead as planned.

The property is a share...

Reply to Roof terrace not demised - whose is it?

by Lawcruncher

it sounds like it is included in the flat below as the roof of that property. It is entirely possible, if not probable, that the column of air above the terrace also goes with the demise of the flat below. If you have the right to use the terrace none of that is a problem so long as you do not want...

Reply to Roof terrace not demised - whose is it?

by Audrey v

Thank you for your replies. I have further information from our solicitor: "The current Lease contains a right to use the terrace appurtenant to the flat but forming parts of the demise of the other flats"

Our flat has the only practical access through a large window (not a door)....

Reply to Roof terrace not demised - whose is it?

by LAD

Undemised roof terraces can be anything from no problem to an extremely big problem.

Does the lease grant any use of the terrace? Sometimes outdoor space in London is not officially demised, but the lease contains a provision allowing units appurtenant to the terrace/balcony exclusive...

Reply to Roof terrace not demised - whose is it?

by Lawcruncher

You say that the lease mentions the terrace but does not expressly include it: What does it actually say about the terrace?

Is the window which looks onto the terrace a "normal" window so that you have to climb through it, or is it a full length window which opens like a door...
