Importance of MUD replies.
Susan Bainton, Partner, Liston & Co.,
What is the recommended practice in relation to requests for undertakings, how to correctly incorporate the replies into the replies to requisitions and the importance of correct replies. Do I need to qualify title when the common areas have not been transferred 13 years on from the enactment of the MUD Act. The impact of fire safety issues in MUDs on conveyancing. Can a house in a MUD where parts of the development have been taken in charge be sold without any reference to a management company? How can the unit deeds be changed if there are errors in service charge apportionments, mapping etc.?
