• TP1 Variation

    By Guest on 17th May 2019

    We purchased a freehold property in a development of 14 identical properties. These properties have communal grounds. It now transpires that the solicitor transferred the individual properties with variations in the TP1 which essentially means different rules exist for different properties. Is this a normal situation? How would issues ariising out of this now be resolved?

    Normally the developer's lawyer will keep the TP1s identical (save as to the plans) to avoid any conflict of terms. Having different TP1 is not the end of the world providing there is no conflict between the terms or a discrepancy such as service charge payments across the properties not adding up to 100% of the costs, though without reviewing and comparing the documents I cannot say if there is or isn't an issue. In most cases you will not notice the difference throughout your ownership of the property.

    Thank you for your reply. The discrepancy is about renting the properties. Some TP1’s say it can be sublet others state there may be no business from the property. These owners feel running sublets or Air B&B is a business so it has become an issue that the TP1’s vary in this clause. Is it normal or legally appropriate that they could vary in such a significant clause?
