Title and the Contractual Framework
Due diligence connects title documents, encumbrances, agreed terms and the intended use of the property. Construction projects also require consideration of planning and building documents and the relationships between developer, designer and contractor.
Disputes and Contract Performance
Where a disagreement arises, the analysis addresses rights in the property, actual occupation or use and performance of contractual obligations. Title issues are distinguished from claims concerning payment, time, quality and liability in the construction arrangements.
