An encumbrance is a legal restriction registered on your property's title that may affect how you can use, develop, or build on your land.
It can include:
📌 Easements
📌 Covenants
📌 Rights of way
📌 Agreements or other legal obligations
These restrictions can influence:
✔️ Where you can build
✔️ What you can build
✔️ Whether your design needs to change
✔️ Your property's development potential
Many buyers don't discover an encumbrance until they're ready to start building when changing plans becomes expensive.
That's why reviewing your property's title should be one of the first steps before planning any development.
At Samp Consulting, we help identify these restrictions early, so you can make informed decisions before they become costly surprises.
