| | | Recombination of property under mortgage What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? North Carolina
If a property owner purchases a new tract of land adjacent to their existing property, which is currently mortgaged, can a recombination of the two parcels be recorded? If so, does the new combined property fall under the lein held by the bank? What other considerations might there be?
Thanks,

| | | Sorry, no advice... just a question. Why do you want to consolidate the two separate pieces of property? A consolidation may not allow you to split the properties in the future.
The inability to split the properties might subject the new property to the conditions of the bank lien, and might cause you problems in the future with subdivision or other local zoning ordinance regulations if you want to divide or sell some of the property.
Local law may be different, but generally, having two pieces of property may allow you to readjust the sizes of each piece, subject to ordinance and other requirements. This may be of some benefit in the future. |

Thanks,
David | **A: yes it could under a consolidation but keep in mind that when this is done that the mortgage would be secured on both properties. Not a wise move.

| | | Thanks for the advice. This was a scenario that the county planner said might be required, due to the fact that the tract was less than 10 acres.
I did find out yesterday from the planner that this will not be a problem, as some of his initial assumptions (a different story) were incorrect. The tract will not have to be combined.
Thank you for your quick advice.
