Encumbrances and restrictions refer to limitations or conditions that affect the use and value of a land registry entry's parcels without affecting the owner's ability to sell it.
Various conditions that affect an owner's ability to use their own land freely can include the following:
•Easements: statements allowing others to use part of the land (for example, a utilities company whose infrastructure runs through the owner's parcel).
•Liens: financial claims against the land (for example, a mortgage).
•Zoning and regulatory restrictions: laws that limit how land can be used (residential, commercial, agricultural, or industrial) or what type of buildings can be constructed on the land.
Other possible encumbrances and restrictions may exist depending on your country or region and its laws. All types of encumbrances and restrictions you may need to document in VertiGIS FM Parcel should be added in the Loads, Constraints catalog. You can separately document liens associated with a land registry entry or land parcel.
