Title indemnity insurance – real estate litigation

Our experience include:

• Applying to the Upper Tribunal under section 84 of the Law of Property Act 1925 to modify restrictive covenants in order to permit development. 

• Securing a prescriptive right of way in High Court proceedings to enable the insured landowner to access his land. 

• Securing a right of way for a multi-national supermarket operator for the development of a new store.  The result meant that no compensation was due under the title indemnity policy.   

• Acting for a care home operator in respect of an alleged breach of restrictive covenant.  We advised on the interpretation and enforceability of the restrictive covenant to enable the care home to operate.  

• Identifying a public right of way over a commercial site in order to allow development of land which was otherwise landlocked, avoiding a substantial compensation payment under the title indemnity policy. 

We adopt innovative fee structures and frameworks, and we have a dedicated team who specialise in title indemnity work.
