These sorts of stories (Stuff - 29 Sept 2017) should not really surprise any Surveyor. But they show how misunderstood certain land tenure types are to landowners; neighbours; Councils and even Solicitors.
How long ago did the ADLS "recommend" the abolition of cross-lease as a form of tenure? Me thinks it was back in the 90's!!!! |

Another shocker here: www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/business/the-rebuild/97952455/christchurchs-familys-rebuild-botched-cant-sell-land-tied-up-in-cross-leaseThere wouldn't be a week go by where I don't get an enquiry relating to either defective cross-lease titles or a desire to convert to fee-simple. There is usually an expression of dismay at the cost and the need for subdivision consent. One prospective client recently has a property on a hill in a cross-lease with their downhill neighbour. They are keen to hang on to the cross-lease as it gives them some influence over what their neighbour might be able to build that might otherwise intrude into their view. On a side note, didn't the ADLS invent cross-leases in the first place? |
