Obtaining neighbour's title deeds?

griggsy2005

Hello all, I have recently moved into a new build and I am trying to obtain title deeds to a neighbour's new build property. I am relatively new to all this so could do with some advice!

The purpose of trying to obtain these title deeds is in regards to a dispute over a nasty looking satellite dish that they have had fitted. I have a document that I received once the purchase of the property was completed from the Land Registry;

'TP1'
Land Registry
Transfer of part of registered title(s)

In it, it details certain restrictions, such as putting up satellites. What I want to do ideally, is get a copy of the same document, but for their property, to make sure the same restrictions apply to them, as they do to me? So a few questions;

1. Is this even possible?
2. If so, where/what do I need to do to get hold of them?
3. As the neighbour has only recently moved in to their new build, it doesn't seem to appear on any land registry searches yet. Is their a way round this?

Kind regards all,

James

You can download them directly from the land registry for a couple of pounds (it was £3 when I last used it a few years ago).

Note that any restrictions about satellite dishes etc. will be almost unenforceable unless you can get whomever drafted them to take action. If the builder has left the area and no longer selling any properties in the area, they will probably have little interest. If they're selling houses in the area then they are more likely to take action.

Planning portal is probably the best place to see what rights you have if unable to lean on the covenants: https://www.planningportal.co.uk/info/200130/common_projects/48/satellitetv_and_radio_antenna

If you have a copy of the title entry (£3) and it references covenents in another document, you can obtain that other document for about £6 but you must post in the form, which is annoying.

Is the satellite dish affecting you? It seems odd to me that having recently moved into your new home, the first thing you want to do is get into a dispute with your neighbours over something so trivial.

Get to know your neighbours, make friends, invite them over for a cuppa, don't waste time making enemies of them the moment you move in. You'll enjoy living there much more.

So there ignoring a restrictive covenant? Who do you thinks going to enforce it (it may well be local authority insisted as a condition, If so they’ll have seen it and if they want too they’ll enforce it,)
Otherwise its down to beneficiary /landowner potentially those breaching can face a claim in damages for the breach plus any injunctions granted.

Best scenario (for you) Compensatory damages to reflect the diminution in the value of the benefited land by reason of the breach ( how much is a dish devaluing the land ? ) and damages awarded in lieu of injunction etc.

Worse case as the court can also decide whether or not the claimant may have tacitly acquiesced to the breach by failing to prevent breach while having knowledge of it. In that scenario its you that could be paying damages unlikely but not impossible.

There are no winners in cases like this just the potential for years of grief and bad feeling get a hobby or go do some charity work would be my advice …..

IT was almost certainly put in by the builders to stop people adding ugly dished to the houses before they had sold them all, but they probably could not care less once all the houses are sold, so are not likely to want spend any money pursuing this now they no longer have an interest in the site.

Couldn't agree more, why the aggressive stance against a neighbour you haven't even talked to???

(that's speculative but then again I guess I'm right????)
