[Jezza]

This is an absolute gem in Warwick, with a private mooring

Not a thing of beauty from the outside, but looks very habitable within apart from having no proper fireplaces.

The blurb carefully avoids saying that the owner has permission to moor a boat there, unless there was a crucial line which I missed.

Hi. It was my Mum and Dad's house 👍They've lived there since 1995.

They had the mooring built by BWB, and spent the winter at home and the summer away on their boat

Crucial information missing! How long is the mooring?

At least 70ft, as that was the length of the boat the mooring was built for 👍

As as I can see, it says 'canal views' not 'canal bankside' ie mooring and the map pin gives a property several houses away from the bank.

The map pin is usually the centre of the postcode. Fairly close for urban properties but can sometimes be a long way off in the countryside.

If its one at the end its canal side

You'd think the agent would have made reference to a 70ft mooring. It just says 'canal views' or something like that.

From another angle. From the photos it looks as though the house is the one outlined in blue, and the mooring is along the red line. It's interesting that the mooring seems to back on to the entire terrace of houses, with their boundary stepped back several feet.

So the house has a triangular garden which narrows down to a gate which leads onto the separate rectangular mooring plot along the back of the houses. The adjacent property appears to have extended its garden into this rectangular plot.

So is the mooring land included in the title? Or is it just rented from CRT? And if so is the agreement transferable on sale of the house? What if one of the neighbours wants it?

It doesn't look like a 70ft mooring. Is it a mooring only by consent of the other two properties?

The OP hasn't responded to my previous post, but I suspect the mooring is a piece of CRT owned land which extends along the back of the three adjacent properties, with just a narrow gate onto the OP's parents garden, and the OP's parents have rented the land and mooring from BW/CRT.
