When purchasing an industrial or commercial property, it’s important to confirm that any Exclusive Use Areas (“EUAs”) included in the sale are properly allocated, approved, and reflected in the relevant plans and agreements.
This is particularly important in sectional title industrial parks and business parks where areas such as:
- parking bays,
- loading zones,
- storage yards,
- exclusive access passages,
- dispatch areas, or
- private outdoor spaces
may form part of the transaction.
Before signing, buyers should verify:
- that the EUA is legally registered or properly allocated,
- that the area being marketed matches the sectional title or site plans,
- that there are no disputes regarding use or access,
- and whether the EUA forms part of the title deed, conduct rules, or an exclusive use agreement.
In industrial property, access to yard space, loading areas, and parking can directly impact operations and long-term value. A discrepancy between what is marketed and what is legally allocated can create operational and legal complications after transfer.
A thorough review upfront can help avoid costly surprises later.
