Question 1

A buyer's conveyancer is examining an unregistered root of title dated 12 May 1998. The deed is a conveyance for value executed by the beneficial owner. Does this deed satisfy the requirements of a good root of title under section 44 of the Law of Property Act 1925 (as amended by the Law of Property (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1989)?

Yes, because it is a conveyance for money's worth executed more than 15 years ago that deals with the whole legal and equitable estate. No, because a good root of title in unregistered land must be at least 30 years old. No, because only a assent by personal representatives can form a good root of title. Yes, but only if accompanied by a statutory declaration confirming 20 years of adverse possession.

Correct Answer:

Yes, because it is a conveyance for money's worth executed more than 15 years ago that deals with the whole legal and equitable estate.

Question 2

During investigation of a registered title, the buyer's conveyancer discovers an un-rectified title defect: a missing deed of grant for a drainage pipe serving the property across neighbouring land. The seller offers a legal indemnity insurance policy. What is a crucial condition regarding the buyer's conduct when taking out title indemnity insurance?

The buyer or conveyancer must not approach the neighbouring landowner or HM Land Registry regarding the defect prior to policy inception. The buyer must first apply to HM Land Registry to rectify the title before applying for the policy. The conveyancer must obtain written permission from the local planning authority before ordering the policy. The policy will only be valid if the neighbour signs a waiver agreement after policy inception.

Correct Answer:

The buyer or conveyancer must not approach the neighbouring landowner or HM Land Registry regarding the defect prior to policy inception.

The seller added a conservatory in 2010 without consent. No complaints have been made. Which option is the standard conveyancing remedy under Law Society guidelines?

Obtain a restrictive covenant indemnity insurance policy at the seller's expense. Apply immediately to the Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber) under section 84 LPA 1925 to discharge the covenant. Track down the descendants of the 1955 vendor to obtain retrospective consent. Advise the buyer to remove the conservatory before completion.

Obtain a restrictive covenant indemnity insurance policy at the seller's expense.
