Land: What is it ?
There is no agreed-upon definition of what constitutes "land." The Law of Property Act 1925 (LPA 1925) offers one definition; however, before delving into this, it would be prudent to dissect "land" into its two constituent parts and examine the differences between real and personal property.
Although the LPA 1925 does not define these two categories of property clearly, it does supply us with certain key terminology that we will use throughout this chapter.
Important word: :Real Property
All property that is typically regarded as immovable is referred to as real property. This therefore refers to both the land itself and any rights that may belong to third parties.
Important word: Private Property
Anything that is mobile and not considered "real" property is considered personal property.
This brings us to our next topic of discussion: the LPA 1925's partial definition of land is as follows: "Land" encompasses any type of land tenure, as well as mines and minerals, whether or not they are held above ground, structures or portions of buildings, and other physical inheritances; as well as any other incorporeal hereditaments, as well as any easement, privilege, right, or advantage over, on, or pertaining to land; and "mines and minerals" refers to any layer or seam of minerals or other materials on or beneath any kind of land, as well as the ability to work
