The right line of attack

Article Abstract:

The title deeds should be the basis for any determination of the location of and the responsibility for boundaries. However, it can often prove very hard to precisely determine the boundary on the ground, even if the plan is accurate. Developers should ensure that they reduce the risk in determining boundaries by following good practice, including making a site visit to assess on-site boundaries and to check the title plan against on-site features. Applying for a parcels index map search of the land concerned and the surrounding land can be an effective way to identify discrepancies. Developers should avoid relying on a single source.

Splitting development profits

Article Abstract:

Many property developers and investors in the UK now use overage to share risks and returns. With this system, the investor makes a payment to the developer following the completion of a development on the investor's land. The payment is made after completion of the scheme and compliance with the developer's obligations. Overage is partly a reward to the developer for taking on the risks to which an investor is unwilling to be exposed, but the developer will need flexibility to manage these risks.

Five Oaks - the long road back

Article Abstract:

Five Oaks is a UK property investment company which has survived the 1990s recession and aims to expand. The company is negotiating a major deal which could be paid for through a mix of debt and securities. The company is controlled by Tim Walter and John Watkins and their caution helped avoid cash flow problems during the UK real estate slump in the early 1990s. The company made a speculative purchase in the east of London, England, however, which is not easy to defend.
