Land Restrictions Trusts
Fiona has had her land for a period of five years. Following her acquisition of the property, the following things happened: She signed a restricted covenant stating that she would not use the property to conduct business. Jojo, Florence's friend, moved in with her when she bought the house, and even though Jojo isn't listed on the register of title, she did help with the down payment. Jojo and Fiona signed a declaration of trust document outlining their equitable (financial) ownership shares.
The deed also stipulated that, in the event that the property was sold, Jess's consent would need to be obtained before the sale proceeds were divided. Additionally, Fiona gave the Tools and Bridges Building Society a mortgage, albeit it hasn't been officially recorded as a legal charge yet. Fiona is selling the house right now. In order to guarantee that these third-party interests are enforceable against a potential buyer, how should they be safeguarded? In the event that the property is freehold, the restrictive covenant needs to be recorded in the charges register as a notice, indicating to potential buyers that they are aware of it and will need to abide by it as the estate's new owner.
Fiona cannot conduct any registrable disposition, such as selling the property, until the solicitor certifies that the terms of the restriction have been met. This is because the trust deed between Fiona and Jojo needs to be registered as a restriction in the proprietorship register. The mortgage ought to be registered as a legal charge since it is a registrable disposition. In the event that it hasn't, Tools and Bridges Building Society must record this as a notice in the charges register for it to become enforceable against any future buyers. This would convert the legal mortgage to an equitable mortgage
Failure to register these interests as either a restriction or a notice will mean that a future purchaser will not be bound by the interest; this is regardless of whether they knew about them or not.
