The property shown in sales particulars may extend across more than one legal title. Paul Robinson Solicitors assist commercial property buyers in Colchester with establishing what the acquisition actually includes. Matching the intended site to the documentary evidence is important whether you are buying premises for occupation, an investment building or land for future development.

Build a complete property picture

Start with a plan showing every area you expect to acquire, including ancillary land and outbuildings. Compare it with the documents supplied rather than assuming a single postal address describes a single ownership. We investigate the titles and ask about apparent gaps. A yard or access strip may require separate consideration even where it appears to form one practical site.

Investigate differences without guessing

A title plan generally shows general boundaries, not a definitive measurement of every edge. Where occupation and documentation appear inconsistent, further evidence or professional measurement may be needed. We explain the legal questions and coordinate with your surveyor where appropriate. The objective is to understand the difference before making an offer adjustment or accepting a contractual description of the land.

Keep the documents aligned through completion

Check that the contract, transfer, finance papers and your own instructions describe the intended acquisition consistently. We also deal with relevant searches, seller enquiries and completion arrangements. If a missing area is essential, discuss how that affects the decision to exchange. A later intention to buy additional land is not equivalent to including it in the agreed transaction now.

Frequently asked questions

Does one business address mean there is only one title?

No. An address is not a reliable guide to the number or extent of legal interests. Provide the full sales plan and identify every part you expect to own so the documentary position can be checked.

Can a title plan settle the precise line of a boundary?

Usually it shows general boundaries rather than an exact line. A discrepancy may require deeds, historic evidence or surveying input, and its significance should be assessed instead of inferred from the thickness of a drawn line.

What if the seller does not own an essential strip?

Your solicitor should investigate the available evidence and options before you commit. Acquisition of that strip or suitable rights may depend on another person, so their cooperation cannot be assumed when planning your purchase.
