Of course he physically walked and measured the site. i thought he was very cheap from the €300 I heard it would cost. I had to give him the original planning permission map and he confirmed the site matched the original PP.
Astonishing price.
Senior engineer €150/hour plus.
Visit the site, walk the boundary, compare folio map and PP.
Return to the office, mark the map, write the covering letter.
Plus, given the liability taken on board I wouldn't do it for that money.
BTW, the normal assurance requried in a Declaration of Identity from a building professional for a solicitor is that "the land in sale or transfer lies wholly within the above-named folio" or words to that effect.
You're buying a piece of an existing folio.
Conveyancing doesn't recognise planning law, per se.
Just the fact that the land to be sold lies within the cited folio or folios.
Certifying that the land matches the permission will not even arise, since the matter goes to part of it being conveyed to the new purchaser and relates often to older registry of deeds maps.
When the property is built and you're issing a declaration at that time, it may be required to refer to the PP. I presume he used the new ITM maps from the Registry?
FWIW
ONQ.
