The title commitment's Schedule B-II is a list of everything the policy won't cover, easements, CC&Rs, encroachments, liens. And each one can quietly kill the use you're underwriting. The move is a use-impact flag list built on hard negatives: quote every exception to its B-II number, correlate it to what the survey actually shows on the ground (or mark UNKNOWN), and rate how it burdens the INTENDED use. Keep the bans intact whenever you adapt this: never opine on marketability or insurability, that is title counsel's call. Never call the title 'clean' or 'clear,' never invent an exception, and never drop a Schedule B item silently. A dropped exception is the one that shows up at closing.
Look at my title commitment and survey and tell me if there's anything that would stop me from expanding the building and adding parking. [paste the exceptions and survey notes]
2 · Your turn. You write the prompt
You're buying a 2.1-acre retail parcel to expand the building and add a parking field. The title commitment's Schedule B-II lists: Item 7, a 15-ft utility easement along the east line; Item 9, a non-exclusive access easement benefiting the adjoining parcel; Item 11, recorded CC&Rs restricting building height and parking ratios; Item 14, a $180,000 mechanic's lien. The ALTA survey notes a rear canopy encroaching 3 ft over the south setback. Write a prompt that turns all of it into a use-impact flag list without ruling on marketability.
