Background

‍

The purpose of this flow chart is to explore if there are any issues with a cross-lease title and how they can be fixed. The options to fix the issues are summarised in clauses 6.4 and 8.7 of the ADLS Agreement. The most common cross-lease issue involves a cross-lease owner building a new structure on the flats plan that requires the written consent of the cross-lease neighbour.
