Featured Panel: The condominium form of real property ownership is ubiquitous. Every conveyancer and closing lawyer deals regularly with the collateralization of real property interests created by the submission of land to condominium status. The existence and validity of those collateral interests can typically be confirmed by a review of record title. However, the physical condition of the common area has a potential impact on the value, and even continued existence of that collateral, particularly in associations that are decades old and that may have deferred maintenance. The quasi-governmental entities that insure mortgages, as well as buyers, lenders, and even unit owners, are paying closer attention to those effects. The panel explores how those off-record, on-the-ground, conditions are impacting and will continue to impact conveyancing in this area.
