Freehold Conveyance Statutory Requirements

Is this correct The conveyance of a freehold title must comply with several key statutory requirements. Writing Requirement: Section *(*) of the Law of Property Act * provides that all conveyances of land must be made by deed.^* Section * of the Law of Property (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act * further requires that any contract for the sale or disposition of an interest in land must be in writing, incorporating all agreed terms, and signed by both parties.^* Courts have interpreted this strictly. In Commission for the New Towns v Cooper (Great Britain) Ltd, the Court of Appeal held that an unsigned document could not constitute a valid contract under section * — a clear application of the literal rule of statutory interpretation to preserve certainty.^

Make this * words For a transaction to be legally binding, the law requires that the form of the instrument is specifically a deed. Section one of the Law of Property (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act * sets out four things must happen for the deed to be valid. Firstly, it must be clear the document is a deed. Secondly, it must be executed by the parties signing the document. Thirdly, the deed must be signed by someone in the presence of the parties signing the document. Finally, it must be delivered in a physical way, which is to say that intent the document has to take effect. Courts take the above items very seriously. In Firstpost Homes Ltd v Johnson, the Court of Appeal rejected evidence originally offered due to the fact it was not propery constructed and signed. Ultimately, the law is strict about this in order to ensure the process of transferring ownership of land is suprmised as a conscious, formal and conciliatory one, rather than just a series of casual arrangements.

Is this correct Under Section *(*)(a) of the Land Registration Act *, a transfer of a registered freehold estate only has effect in law on registration.

The requirements of a writing and a signature show intention, which means that any land transaction is for a purpose and verified by the parties.
