Visitor Car Parking

thrifty_not_tight

Hi. This may be quite lengthy so bear with me....
I purchased a house in May on an estate built 20 yrs ago. Its freehold.

My title deeds show in red two parking spaces. It goes right round the property and includes a car parking space to the front and one to the side.

There is no mention of visitors car parking on the actual deeds but there are attached notes one which says "The right to permit a visitort to use one car parking space intended for visitors is marked V on the attached plan"

The quality of the plan is so bad nothing can be read on it never mind a letter v.

That aside should there not have been a particular reference to how it affects my property?

Has anyone come across this before?

Having trawled through the internet I have read that such areas should be blue on title deeds.

Any advice would be appreciated

Usually you'd expect the deeds to say something about you owning the land, but having to allow other people to park there.  Sometimes there's a restriction on you parking your own vehicle in the space.  Is there nothing like that?

Colouring of plans can be variable, or absent.  Sometimes they are hatched rather than (or combined with) colouring.

If the title says there is a bay marked with a 'V' and the plan shows a bay with a 'V', then that would be sufficient, it wouldn't necessarily have to be coloured blue (or any other colour)  as well.

If the 'V' can't be seen due to the poor quality of reproduction then you should seek out a better quality plan.  The deeds of a neighbouring property might contain a clearer one.

Given you recently bought, didn't your solicitor explain to you what you were buying? That is a large part of what you paid them for...

What 'attached notes'? Attached to what? The deeds? How? Where? Or attached to something else?

Please clarify.

Do you mean the Title Plan shows a single red line encompassing the entire property (house, garden, drive, parking spaces etc) or the red line only encompasses the 'two parking spaces', in which case how is the rest of the property marked on the Plan?

And dos the property title say anything else about the red (or any other coloured) lines on the Plan?
