1In registered land conveyancing, which register of an official copy of title contains the description of the property, its postal address, and details of any legal easements benefiting the land?
A.Property Register
B.Proprietorship Register
C.Charges Register
D.Land Charges Register
Explanation: The Property Register describes the land and estate held (freehold or leasehold), gives the postal address, and includes beneficial rights such as legal easements. The Proprietorship Register states the owner and class of title, while the Charges Register lists burdens such as mortgages and restrictive covenants.
2What class of title is granted by HM Land Registry when the proprietor has full title deeds and HM Land Registry is satisfied that there are no defects or doubts regarding ownership?
A.Title Absolute
B.Possessory Title
C.Good Leasehold Title
D.Qualified Title
Explanation: Title Absolute is the highest class of title granted by HM Land Registry for freehold or leasehold land. It guarantees that the proprietor's title is subject only to entries on the register and overriding interests under Schedule 3 LRA 2002.
3Under Schedule 3, Paragraph 2 of the Land Registration Act 2002, an interest belonging to a person in actual occupation of land is an overriding interest, EXCEPT under which circumstance?
A.Inquiry was made of the occupier before disposition and they failed to disclose the interest when reasonably expected to do so
B.The occupier is a spouse or civil partner of the registered proprietor
C.The occupation would not have been obvious on a reasonably careful inspection of the land
D.The occupier's interest arose after the date of exchange of contracts
Explanation: Under Schedule 3 Paragraph 2 LRA 2002, an interest of an occupier fails to override if inquiry was made of them before the disposition and they failed to disclose the interest when they could reasonably have been expected to do so, or if occupation was not obvious on reasonable inspection and the buyer had no actual knowledge.
4Which HM Land Registry standard form must be used by a buyer's conveyancer following completion to apply for registration of a transfer of whole of a registered title?
A.Form AP1
B.Form TR1
C.Form OS1
D.Form K15
Explanation: Form AP1 is the standard application form used to change the register for registered land, including registering a transfer (TR1) and new mortgage post-completion. TR1 is the transfer deed itself, OS1 is the official search form, and K15 is an unregistered land search.
5What is the primary conveyancing objective of submitting an official search with priority (Form OS1) to HM Land Registry prior to completion?
A.To obtain a 30-working-day priority period that protects the buyer's application against subsequent adverse entries on the register
B.To obtain a certified copy of the seller's title deeds for execution at completion
C.To automatically discharge any existing registered mortgages on the title
D.To notify the local authority of the pending transfer for council tax purposes
Explanation: An OS1 search creates a 30-working-day priority period. If the buyer lodges their Form AP1 application before the priority period expires, their application takes priority over any adverse entries made on the register during that window.
6A buyer's conveyancer inspects the Proprietorship Register of a registered title and sees a standard Form A restriction: 'No disposition by a sole proprietor...'. What does this restriction indicate?
A.The co-owners hold the beneficial interest as tenants in common
B.The co-owners hold the legal estate as tenants in common
C.The property is subject to an enforceable agricultural tenancy
D.The seller requires court authorization to sell the property
Explanation: A Form A restriction indicates that the beneficial interest is held as tenants in common (or severed joint tenancy). Joint tenants at law always hold the legal estate as joint tenants, but beneficial tenants in common require capital money to be paid to at least two trustees to overreach beneficial interests.
7A buyer is purchasing a registered property from two joint registered proprietors. A non-owning family member asserts a beneficial interest under a constructive trust. Why does the buyer take title free from this interest upon completion?
A.Payment of purchase monies to at least two trustees overreaches the equitable interest under LPA 1925 ss. 2 and 27
B.Constructive trust interests are automatically void against any registered disposition for value
C.Schedule 3 LRA 2002 excludes constructive trust beneficiaries from overriding interest status
D.The non-owning relative failed to register a unilateral notice on the Charges Register
Explanation: Under Sections 2 and 27 of the Law of Property Act 1925, paying purchase money to at least two trustees overreaches beneficial interests (including constructive trusts). The equitable interest detaches from the land and attaches to the sale proceeds.
8A buyer inspects a residential property and sees an adult son of the seller living there. The seller's conveyancer claims the son has no rights. The buyer's conveyancer makes no direct enquiry of the son. After completion, the son claims a beneficial interest. Does the son have an overriding interest?
A.Yes, because he was in obvious actual occupation and no enquiry was made directly of him
B.No, because enquiries made of the seller satisfied the statutory exception under Schedule 3 LRA 2002
C.No, because adult children cannot hold overriding interests against arm's-length purchasers
D.Yes, but only if he registered a Form A restriction prior to exchange of contracts
Explanation: Under Schedule 3 Paragraph 2 LRA 2002, actual occupation that is obvious on reasonable inspection protects a beneficial interest as overriding. Asking the seller is insufficient; enquiry must be made directly of the occupant.
9An OS1 official search priority period runs from 1 June to 12 July. Completion occurs on 20 June. Due to administrative delay, the buyer's Form AP1 is lodged on 15 July. A second charge was registered on 5 July. What is the priority position?
A.The second charge takes priority over the buyer's transfer because AP1 was lodged after OS1 priority expired
B.The buyer's transfer takes priority because completion took place before 12 July
C.The buyer's transfer takes priority automatically under the registration gap rule
D.HM Land Registry will cancel the second charge because it was entered during the OS1 period
Explanation: Priority protection is lost if Form AP1 is not lodged before the OS1 priority period expires. Because AP1 was lodged on 15 July (after 12 July), the second charge registered on 5 July takes priority.
10The Charges Register of a registered title reveals a restrictive covenant entered in 1998 restricting use to a single private dwellinghouse. The seller's predecessor executed the covenant. Is the buyer bound by this covenant?
A.Yes, restrictive covenants entered on the Charges Register of a registered title bind all future owners
B.No, restrictive covenants expire automatically 20 years after registration
C.No, positive and restrictive covenants are unenforceable against successors in title in registered land
D.Yes, but only if the buyer signs a direct deed of covenant with the original covenantee at completion
Explanation: Restrictive covenants protect burdened land and, when noted on the Charges Register under LRA 2002 s.29, bind subsequent purchasers of the registered estate for valuable consideration.
