Property Sale Contract Enforceability
Summary
Contracts for the sale of land in the UK create equitable interests that bind successors in title, making them enforceable against subsequent owners. Leases over seven years must be registered to create a legal interest; otherwise, they only create an equitable lease. Fixtures and chattels can be a grey area, but items firmly attached to the property are generally considered fixtures.Full Conversation

Hi Momo! Thanks for clarifying. Under UK law, the contract for the sale of land generally creates an equitable interest that can bind successors in title, meaning the woman's contract could be enforceable against the grandson.
However, specific circumstances and local nuances could affect this. Do you have any particular details about the contract, such as any conditions or stipulations?

Hi Momo! Based on UK law, I understand your concern. For leases over seven years, the lease must be registered with the Land Registry to create a legal interest. If it’s not registered, it only creates an equitable lease, meaning the freeholder is incorrect in saying it doesn't need to be registered.

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! Based on UK property law, fixtures and chattels can sometimes be a grey area. Generally, items firmly attached to the property (like with screws) are considered fixtures and form part of the land. However, specifics like the intention at the time of attachment can also matter.
Given your scenario, the closest answer might be:
b. No. The wall hanging was not firmly attached to the wall so is a chattel.
Do you have any more details about the transaction or any written agreements that could clarify the situation further?
