October 08 Property Developers Podcast
This is the 5th podcast produced by the Commercial Property Team.
In this podcast we look at:
- The case of William Page & Co v Paribas Services Custody Bank which concerns option agreements; in the case the courts were prepared to not construe pre-conditions to the exercise of the option strictly.
- Tree Preservation Orders and the right to compensation if an application for lopping or removal is refused.
- The case of Crowe v Massey which concerns the modification of restrictive covenants by the Lands Tribunal. We revisit the area of rights of light and hear about the case of RHJ Ltd v F T Patton a 2008 appeal court decision.
- It is now possible to send building control documents electronically to the Building Control Departments of local authorities. The podcast tells us more about this development.
- We have a look at a VAT Information Sheet aimed at housebuilders who let dwellings before selling.
- Finally, we look at the case of Margarissen v Bates which concerns interpretation of restrictive covenants in particular with reference to permission for alterations and whether this binds successors in title.
We are constantly striving to improve the quality of our communications. We have been producing the Commercial Property Podcast for 12 months and we would very much appreciate your feedback.
