Category: Strata, Easements
Answer: Ā An easement gives a right to cross or otherwise use someone elseās land for a specific purpose.
Answer: Section 88 of the Conveyancing Act provides that for an easement to be valid it must clearly identify the following:
Answer: The owner(s) of the land to be benefited by an easement and the owner(s) of the land to be burdened by an easement will be required to provide their consent to the creation of the easement. However other relevant stakeholders with an interest in the land such as mortgagees or certain lease holders may also be required to provide their consent to the creation of an easement.
Answer: Under section 88K the Conveyancing Act 1919 (NSW):
a. use of the land having the benefit of the easement will not be inconsistent with the public interest, and
b. the owner of the land to be burdened by the easement and each other person having an estate or interest in that land that is evidenced by an instrument registered in the General Register of Deeds or the Register kept under the Real Property Act 1900 can be adequately compensated for any loss or other disadvantage that will arise from imposition of the easement, and
c. all reasonable attempts have been made by the applicant for the order to obtain the easement or an easement having the same effect but have been unsuccessful.
