Buying A Flat With Parking Space

[Holmbrae]

About to purchase a flat with parking but this don't see this in the deeds. Parking is mentioned in the Burden Details but is this enough to prove ownership

If you used a solicitor for the conveyance of the property it will be part of their service to deal with this matter.

Tonyw is right but if you have a concern then raise it with the solicitor or conveyancer in writing and get a written response, that way if things go pearshaped, you have some recourse.

it's the land registry entry that need scrutiny, deeds are superfluous in most cases these days.

Unfortunately, there may be many spaces around the flats, and you have permission to park, but you may not have a designated space of your own.

Where are you (country wise), just the way you refer the Burden Details isn't something you'd commonly see in a lease in England/Wales even though burdened is used in relation to covenants etc...

It could be that you are not actually buying a parking space to own (by lease or otherwise) but have been given the right to use one in the lease.

As to whether it is enough, it depends on what it actually says and your legal advisor should be checking and explaining all this to you.

Further to redgrant's post, it depends on the context of the deeds referred to.

Deeds is used as reference to the title to the property generally by some people, even though, with many properties being registered at the Land Registry and there being a title register, meaning that "deeds" are not as crucial as they were for unregistered property, when they were vital to prove ownership etc...

Not all properties are registered though, for unregistered properties deed are still vital.

Deeds can also be used to refer to certain documents which make up or relate to the title to the property as well - not all information is listed on the title register at Land Registry so the actual documents themselves are often still required to see what is contained. For example, on a leasehold title the title register will not hold all details of the lease verbatim, it will have brief main details but the actual document is still needed to see what is contained.
