What does an encumbrance NOT limit?

An encumbrance does not limit the physical characteristics of the property. Physical characteristics refer to the intrinsic attributes of the property itself, such as its size, shape, and location. These aspects remain unchanged regardless of any encumbrances that may affect how the property can be used, its market value, or the owner's ability to transfer ownership.

Encumbrances, such as easements or liens, can affect how a property is sold or the rights associated with it, as they impose certain restrictions or obligations on the property owner. They can also impact the market value due to perceived limitations or potential costs that buyers might see when evaluating a property. However, the actual physical attributes remain constant and are not influenced by these legal or financial restrictions.
