Boundary

Looking to purchase a property.
The blue shaded part is the top of the building (owned by next door)  and our property on the ground floor is below it, along with the red shaded outline.

Obviously the solicitor will check this out, but wondered if anyone had come across this before?
Is it the same as buying an apartment with someone above you?
Should we be concerned at all?

Have you shaded it blue? Or is it shaded blue in the title plan? If it's shaded in the plan there should be something in the title register explaining the significance of the shading.

It's shaded blue on the title plan. There is nothing on the title plan

Blue probably means some sort of restrictive covenant...

Do you mean the next door property has a room above part of the property you are looking at buying?  (a 'flying freehold')

Correct, it's not listed anywhere in agents details asa flying freehold or mentioned by solicitors.
In the house we want to buy it's an office, above would be next doors bedroom

Well there is probably a restrictive covenant for the area shaded blue obliging you to continue to provide structural support for the neighbour's room above.

Thanks for that, there is nothing on the title deeds to say this. I will ask the solicitor.

What is the white space edged in red? A yard or garden?
