Property Transaction for Ministerial Decision - Minister for Treasury and Resources
Deed of sale Field 424 St Brelade between Imhotep Limited and the Public of the Island
PG/65/1
Purpose
To seek approval from the Minister for Treasury and Resources in respect of a deed of sale in order to sell a small triangular area of land and re-define the boundary of the Public land know as Field 424 and the boundary towards the property know as Vue des Iles owned by Imhotep Limited, with Mrs Marjorie Ann Key nee Ball being party to the agreement.
Background
On the 10 November 2006 the Assistant Minister approved MD-PH-2006-0095 which related to the sale of a road, the granting of rights and the exchange and counter exchange of land in relation to field 424 St Brelade. Item 1 of the general terms required the parties to clarify all and any boundaries as required. When under taking the survey it was noted that previous boundaries were in the wrong place.
Current Situation
Terms and conditions have been agreed between Property Holdings on behalf of the Public and Imhotep Limited to enter into a deed of sale to sell a small triangle of land, as shown hatched on the attached plan, near the south west corner of the property “Vue des Iles” for a consideration of £10. In addition the parties will redefine the boundary of the footpath and headland retained by the public and the property “Vue des Iles”. The owner of the property “Eventide”, Mrs Marjorie Ann Key nee Ball will also be party to the contract to confirm the boundary stone which is common to all parties.
In addition to the above the Public would have the right to remove the concrete buttress established against the western wall of “Vue des Iles at its own cost. The Public, should it be required in the future, have the right to build up against the said western wall but not seek support there, to replace or relocate the set of steps forming part of the footpath. The public also confirms rights of access to Imhotep Limited in relation to repair and maintenance of the said western wall.
Imhotep Limited will pay its own legal costs in relation to this transaction while the Public will pay its own and those of Mrs Marjorie Ann Key nee Ball.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Minister for Treasury and Resources approves the terms set out above and authorises a suitable contract to be passed between the Public of the Island, Imhotep Limited and Mrs Marjorie Ann Key nee Ball before the Royal Court.
