Lease Registration Legal Requirements
Full Conversation
A woman has an eight-year lease on a commercial unit on registered land. The freehold owner has told her that the lease does not need to be registered with the Land Registry. You explain that the freehold owner is incorrect.
What is your explanation for why the freeholder is incorrect?
Question 29Select one:
a.
Nothing, the lease is binding.
b.
The lease is void if it is not registered.
c.
The lease only needs to be registered if it is less than three years in length.
d.
It is incapable of being an overriding interest.
e.
The lease will only exist as an equitable lease.
Hey Momo! To clarify, if a lease exceeds seven years, it needs to be registered with the Land Registry to be a legal lease. Therefore, the correct answer is:
e. The lease will only exist as an equitable lease.
This means it won't have the full legal protection and privileges of a registered lease.
Is there anything else you need help with?

A man bought an apartment and was expecting an antique wall hanging to be left in the lounge as this was one of the features that led to him buying it. When he takes possession of the apartment, he finds that the previous owner has removed the wall hanging which was attached to the wall with four screws. The man is very disappointed with this and believes that it formed part of the land. During the conveyance there was no TA10 form filled out.
Does the wall hanging form part of the ‘land’?
Question 30Select one:
a.
Yes. The wall hanging was there to make the room look nicer to encourage a sale.
b.
No. The wall hanging was not firmly attached to the wall so is a chattel.
c.
No. Anything not firmly attached to the ground of the building is a chattel.
d.
Yes. The wall hanging was an inducement to the sale.
e.
Yes. The wall hanging was in the apartment when David bought it.
Hi Momo! The determination of whether the wall hanging forms part of the land hinges on whether it is considered a fixture or a chattel. Generally, fixtures are items that are attached to the land or property and become part of it, whereas chattels are movable property. Here are some points to consider:
- Fixtures: Items attached to the property in a way that suggests permanence, such as being screwed into the wall, are usually considered fixtures.
- Chattels: Items that can be easily removed without damage to the property are usually considered chattels.
Given that the wall hanging was attached with screws, it leans more towards being a fixture. However, the absence of a TA10 form complicates the matter as it usually details what is included in the sale.

are you sure
Hey Momo! The situation about the wall hanging is indeed a bit tricky. Generally, when something is screwed into the wall, it can be considered a fixture, which means it forms part of the land. However, without the TA10 form, which outlines what is included in the sale, it's a grey area.
The correct legal interpretation often leans towards it being a fixture, especially if it was a significant inducement to the sale. Therefore, if you need to choose the best option from the given choices, it would be:
- a. Yes. The wall hanging was there to make the room look nicer to encourage a sale.

A mother and son own a house together and are both registered legal owners. The son decides to sell the house without the mother’s knowledge. The buyer is now trying to take possession of the house. The mother is sure the house is hers and any documentation the seller has is void.
Which best describes the position of buyer?
Question 13Select one:
a.
The mother still owns the house jointly as equity requires at least two trustees to receive money for trust property.
b.
The buyer replaces the son on the Land Register and so is a co-owner with the mother.
c.
The buyer can apply for a possession order from the courts
d.
The buyer has paid for the house and so is now the sole owner.
e.
The buyer owns the house in law but the mother still has an equitable interest in the property.
Hey Momo! In this scenario, the most accurate answer would be:
a. The mother still owns the house jointly as equity requires at least two trustees to receive money for trust property.
This means that the sale by the son alone is not valid without the mother's consent. The buyer cannot take full possession of the house.
Would you like more information on how the mother can assert her rights in this situation?

A client comes to you having been gifted a house and has been told that the transfer is a registrable disposition. The client has so far failed to register the acquisition. The client’s neighbour has erected a sign which encroaches on your client’s land.

Yes, any encroachment onto the land is a trespass.
d.
No, the neighbour’s actions are reasonable in the circumstances.
e.
No, the disposition does not operate until it is registered.

~e. No, the disposition does not operate until it is registered.

are u sure it is not c
Hey Momo! I understand your concern, and it's important to get this right. In property law, a registrable disposition like a gift of land must be registered to have legal effect. Until it's registered, your client cannot enforce full proprietary rights, including suing for trespass. Therefore, the correct answer is indeed:
- e. No, the disposition does not operate until it is registered.
Would you like more details on how to proceed with the registration process?
- e. No, the disposition does not operate until it is registered.

A man buys a house which had a large tree in the back garden. The man liked the tree and it was a significant factor in his decision to purchase. He decided not to tell the seller in case they raised the price. Upon taking possession of his new house the man discovers the tree has been cut down. Making further enquiries he discovers the tree was felled the week before he made his offer to buy the house.
Can the man take action against the seller for cutting down the tree?
Question 18Select one:
a.
Yes, trees are part of the land
b.
Yes, the tree was an inducement for the man to put in an offer to buy.
c.
No, trees cannot be owned and so no action can be made.
d.
No, there was no contract for sale in place when the tree was cut down
e.
Yes, the seller was holding the land on trust until the man took possession.
Hey Momo! In this scenario, the most accurate response is:
d. No, there was no contract for sale in place when the tree was cut down.
This means that since the tree was felled before any contract for the sale was in place, the buyer can't take action against the seller for cutting it down.
