The first words used in that clause confirm that the land sold off in 1935 was no longer liable to pay any part of the fee farm rent because the seller accepted full responsibility to pay all of the rent, because he was continuing to retain the remainder of the land that was subject to the fee farm...

When a leaseholder buys the freehold the lease does not automatically get merged into the freehold.

In modern times an application would have to be made to Land Registry to cancel the leasehold title, otherwise the leasehold title continues to exist even though the freeholder is the same...

It is normally a requirement that the Freeholder, as the Lessor, will need to grant permission for alterations to an existing leasehold flat.

If there are three people named as the freeholder in the register of title then there will need to be three signatures on any permission granted...

Schedule 2, Part 3, Class O of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 grants planning permission for a change of use of an office to use as a dwellinghouse subject to the developer applying to the local planning authority for a determination as to whether...

Any development carried out without planning permission becomes lawful after the time has passed when a Local Planning Authority could have taken enforcement action against the breach of planning control. That is 10 years for a change of use and 4 years for an operational development.

£1,350 Stamp Duty Land Tax would be payable since this is a rental property, not a sole residence for either you or your wife, unless you are about to be divorced and she wants to come and live in this low cost house or flat you intend to buy for her to live in.

Do you know if this additional parcel of land is registered or unregistered?

Land Registration Act 2002 made changes to how an application to be registered as owner of a possessory title is now dealt with.

Adverse possession will continue if there are tenants in the property,...

One fact not referred to in the initial posting is whether the father is still living.

If he is then a statement of truth signed by him confirming that he gave verbal permission to the two previous neighbours that allowed them access over his land to reach the garden area of their property...

A fence erected where the red line is shown on the plan will not breach the covenant, nor will it be in breach of the condition imposed by the local planning authority because the flank wall does not face towards a road or path.

As for parking a trade vehicle in front of the garage, it...

For the work being proposed only the electrics and plumbing would require approval under building regulations.
It is most unlikely that the Building Control inspector will do anything other than certify that those aspects covered by building regulations will be inspected and approved.

Does that cover the situation where the third person named on the register of title cannot be contacted?
That is why he is incapable of signing a deed that is intended to transfer a one third share owned by one named tenant in common to a new tenant in common who will take the same share.
...

[pilman]

My understanding was that a tenant in common owns the share of the freehold that has been agreed on by the named owners of the legal estate. That share can be inherited as a bequest, so there is no reason why that share cannot be transferred to another party without affecting the shares owned by the...

The answer is the same as the one posted on that thread, which you can read for yourself.

Two signatures on a TR1 signing as trustees will be...

If the neighbour's property is registered are saying that the garage has its own separate title?

A TR1 form used as a deed of transfer is for a single title that is being transferred in its entirety.
A TP1 form is for a Transfer of Part of a registered title, which will apply if the...

To incorporate a limited company in England and Wales will cost less than £15 using an on-line Company Formation Agent.

Then any local solicitor will be able to undertake the task of transferring all of the properties you own in your own name into the ownership of the company.

That restriction does not apply if both you and your wife sign the transfer deed and include the statement that the new named couple will own 50% share as tenants in common with the other named person "Mr. A" who will continue to own 50% share in the freehold.
Two people signing the...

OK, we agree to disagree about what is morally wrong about trying to gain an advantage 5 years ago based on the possibility that this particular school would eventually be sold and there was only one road leading to it that had been granted as a right of way solely for educational purposes for the land...

[pilman]

So someone with the presence of mind to act five years ago to secure ownership of a road that led to a school, knowing that the original right of way was specifically for educational purposes only, is a bully in your eyes, because he used his own money to ensure that he would be the only person able...

Once again a bow to the superior knowledge of a retired legal professional, who once again offers extremely invaluable advice free of charge.

Although I described the mechanics of making an application to Land Registry I failed to note the very facts that have now been posted above....
