Land Law - Registered Land - Registrable Dispositions
Any further transactions involving the land will be regarded as registrable dispositions once the applicable estate in land (freehold or leasehold) has been constituted. These are land-related transactions that, absent registration against the property's title, will not be enforceable. These are: -any conveyance of a land estate, whether freehold or leasehold
-the granting of a lease from any estate for a duration longer than seven years; the granting of a legal easement or its reservation; the granting of a new or subsequent legal mortgage.
The buyer will only obtain an equitable interest in the land if this registration process is not completed. The buyer will either have the right to obtain the formal legal title or legal right after substantive registration is finished, or they will have the right to benefit from the property, such as by receiving the sale proceeds if the property is sold. However, the seller of the legal estate will still maintain legal ownership.
Important word: registrable disposal
This pertains to any land that already has a registered title and is subject to a transfer, sale, lease, legal easement, or mortgage. To be protected, the pertinent transaction needs to be registered, meaning that the disposition can be registered.
Example of a Case
Since 1976, Maria has been the owner of the land, and in 2010 she authorized a formal mortgage on the estate. The estate was then registered with HM Land Registry, and this served as the trigger event. Now that the mortgage has been fully paid off, Maria wants to gift the house to her daughter Santana. Is there a way to register this disposition? It would, indeed. The land was given to Scarlett as a gift by Maria, the previous owner. It makes no difference if it is a gift of land or if it is between family members. Scarlett's legal ownership of the land is at risk due to a registrable disposition, which necessitates registration with HM Land Registry. Santana would not be able to, for example, sell the land in the future if it is not registered as she would not be recognized as the rightful owner. It is crucial to accurately register these registrable dispositions so that any prospective buyer of the land would understand its legal estate (freehold or leasehold), who owns it, and whether any additional third parties have any interests that could impact it.
