Abstract:
All books in this flagship series contain carefully selected substantial extracts from key cases, legislation, and academic debate, providing able students with a stand-alone resource. This chapter investigates how certain covenants relating to land between freehold owners can overcome the normal privity of contract rule, and can be enforced by and against third parties. Restrictive covenants significantly control land use, and supplement and complement public planning laws. The burden of a negative covenant will not run at common la but may run in equity by virtue of the Rule in Tulk v Moxhay. The benefit of a restrictive covenant will run if it is: expressly assigned; annexed to the land; or subject to a building scheme. The Lands Chamber of the Upper Tribunal has jurisdiction under s 84 of the Law of Property Act 1925 to modify or extinguish restrictive covenants. Reform recommendations offer a final acknowledgement that both negative and positive covenants affecting land should be a ‘genuine proprietary interests’ rather than ‘a peculiar species of personal contract’.

Abstract:
Each Concentrate revision guide is packed with essential information, key cases, revision tips, exam Q&As, and more. Concentrates show you what to expect in a law exam, what examiners are looking for, and how to achieve extra marks. This chapter discusses freehold covenants. Freehold covenants are promises extracted by one freehold owner (the covenantee) from another freehold owner (the covenantor), whereby the latter promises either to do (positive covenant) or not to do (negative covenant) something over his land. The land burdened by the promise becomes the servient tenement. The land benefiting from the promise becomes the dominant tenement. Covenants commonly arise when a freehold owner is selling off part of his freehold to another and wishes to maintain some degree of control over the land being sold in order to preserve the value and enjoyment of the land he is retaining. Covenants may be enforceable between successors in title to the original covenantee and covenantor but only where certain requirements have been met.

Titles in the Core Text series take the reader straight to the heart of the subject, providing focused, concise, and reliable guides for students at all levels. The primary form of ownership in modern land law is freehold ownership – ownership of an estate in ‘fee simple’. This chapter discusses the following: the ways in which various kinds of fee simple estate may be created, transferred, and terminated; the new form of estate ownership – freehold ownership of ‘commonhold land’ – introduced by the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002; and the rules (both at common law and in equity) under which covenants relating to land use may be enforced between owners of freehold estates.

Abstract:
Each Concentrate revision guide is packed with essential information, key cases, revision tips, exam Q&As, and more. Concentrates show you what to expect in a law exam, what examiners are looking for, and how to achieve extra marks. This chapter discusses the freehold estate. The freehold estate is the larger of the two estates in land that has legal capacity and a person who holds a freehold estate over land is tantamount to being the owner of that land. The legal freehold estate is technically known as the fee simple absolute in possession and the characteristics of a legal freehold estate can be found from interpreting this technical definition. A contract for the transfer of a freehold estate must meet the requirements under s 2 Law of Property (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1989. A valid and specifically enforceable contract for the transfer of a freehold estate will give the purchaser an equitable interest in the land to be purchased, known as an estate contract.

Abstract:
Course-focused and comprehensive, the Textbook on series provide an accessible overview of the key areas on the law curriculum. This chapter examines the case of David Derby, owner of the freehold estate in 4 Trant Way, who has decided to give the estate to one of his three nephews and is considering three possible dispositions. It is necessary to consider whether each of these three possible gifts would vest in the nephew or friend concerned a legal fee simple absolute in possession, or whether the gift would create an interest in land which is less than a legal estate. The phrase ‘fee simple absolute in possession’ imposes a series of requirements, all of which must be satisfied if the estate is to qualify as a legal one. The chapter examines these requirements in more detail, and considers whether David’s proposed gifts would satisfy them.

Concentrates show you what to expect in a law exam, what examiners are looking for, and how to achieve extra marks. This chapter discusses registered land. Registered land is land where title has been registered at the Land Registry. The objective behind registered land is to create a register which accurately reflects the state of registered property, both in terms of its current owner and any third party proprietary interests affecting it. Once registered, subsequent disposals of the freehold, or leasehold of more than seven years in duration, must be completed by registration to confer legal title (s 27 Land Registration Act 2002 (LRA 2002)). When registering title to land, the specific class of title registered will reflect the strength of that title; with the strongest and most common class registered being absolute title. In principle, third party proprietary interests will only affect a purchaser of registered land where they have been entered on the register, typically as a notice but sometimes (where a beneficial interest under a trust) as a restriction.

Part III considers the two legal estates of freehold and leasehold, and in particular looks in detail at the obligations in a leasehold estate, their enforcement and remedies for their breach. Part IV looks at trusts and proprietary estoppel. Part V is about licences and a review of the law relating to the family home.

Concentrates show you what to expect in a law exam, what examiners are looking for, and how to achieve extra marks. This chapter discusses proprietary rights. These govern people’s ability to use and enjoy both land they physically possess and land physically possessed by others. Whilst technically all land is owned by the Crown, holding an estate in land, and in particular a freehold estate that gives one rights to possess, enjoy, and use the land forever, is tantamount to actual ownership. The other type of proprietary right is an interest in land. Whilst an estate gives one a slice of time to use and enjoy land one physically possesses, an interest gives the right to use and enjoy land physically possessed by another. Proprietary rights can be either legal or equitable in status.

All books in this flagship series contain carefully selected substantial extracts from key cases, legislation, and academic debate, providing able students with a stand-alone resource. This chapter is concerned with easements. An easement is the proprietary right to enjoy limited use of the land of another, which may exist in both positive and negative form. To constitute an easement a right over the land of another must display certain characteristics. If these characteristics are not present the right over the land of another is merely a personal right. An easement may be created by express, implied, or presumed grant. A s a proprietary right an easement is not easy to extinguish but in the case of freehold land, easement will be extinguished where the dominant and servient land come into common ownership and an easement attached to a lease may sometimes be extinguished upon the termination of that lease.

Abstract:
All books in this flagship series contain carefully selected substantial extracts from key cases, legislation, and academic debate, providing able students with a stand-alone resource. This chapter investigates legal property rights in land. The numerus clausus (or ‘closed list’) principle is of crucial importance when addressing the content question of legal property rights in land. The Law of Property Act 1925 (LPA 1925) creates a distinction between legal estates and legal interests. As a result of s 1 of LPA 1925, there are now only two permissible legal estates in land. The chapter then explores the content of a freehold and of a lease, and covers the vital question of why the LPA 1925 imposed this limit on the types of permissible legal estate in land. The facts of Hill v Tupper and Keppell v Bailey offer particular examples of a more general question that land law has to tackle when deciding on the content of legal interests in land.

Abstract:
This chapter studies the assignment of burdens. In general, while a benefit or right under a contract is assignable, a burden or obligation under that same contract will not be assignable. The rule that burdens cannot be assigned needs to be considered in the context of those choses—notably contracts, but also leases and shares—that contain both benefits and burdens. However, there are a number of limited exceptions to the general rule. These include the unpaid vendor's lien over land; the rule that the burden of a restrictive covenant over freehold land can bind successive owners of that land; the transfer of obligations contained in leases through successive landlords and tenants; the assumption of obligations by a new shareholder on the transfer of the legal title in the shares to him; and the doctrine of ‘conditional benefits’ which applies to the assignment of rights under a contract.

Abstract:
Course-focused and comprehensive, the Textbook on series provide an accessible overview of the key areas on the law curriculum. This chapter provides a brief account of a new form of landholding, called ‘commonhold’. Commonhold is a new system of land-holding introduced by Part 1 of the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002, which came into force on 27 September 2004. Commonhold was designed to facilitate freehold ownership of ‘interdependent properties’; that is, individual units such as flats in an apartment building, homes in a retirement village, and workshops or offices on an industrial estate. The chapter discusses the disadvantages of leasehold ownership; how commonhold works; and the current lack of interest in the commonhold system.
