Transfer of a Apartment / Flat / House

Notices and Restrictions

Clients should consult Conveyancing Solicitors and Property Lawyers for advice about third party interests that must be completed by registration, such as Legal Mortgages, Leases of Property for over seven years, or the express grant of legal easements out of registered Property. Different provisions relate to bankruptcy notices and restrictions, and to notices in respect of (Matrimonial) home rights.

The priority of competing interests - the reason why third party interests require protection:
The revised system of Property registration introduced by the Land Registration Act 2002 aims to make the Property register a complete and accurate reflection of the state of the Property Deeds at any given time.

The owner of a registered Property can make a disposition of almost any kind permitted by the general law and someone dealing with the owner can assume that their powers are unlimited except for any restriction reflected by an entry in the Property Deeds or imposed by or under the Land Registration Act 2002 itself (section 26 Land Registration Act 2002).

Where more than one party has an interest in a registered Property or Mortgage, the general rule that decides the priority of each party's claims that each interest ranks in accordance with the date of its creation. Someone with an existing interest will not be affected by a later disposition.

However, there are several exceptions. For example, someone who acquires a registrable disposition for value will, by registered their interest, postpone the priority of any other interest that has not been protected by the entry of a notice in the Property Deeds. In other words, they will not be affected by interests that have not been noted. Not all interests are postponed in this way. In particular, certain interests have 'overriding status' and may bind someone who acquires a registrable disposition for value even if not entered in the Property Deeds. However, many fewer interests have overriding status under the Land Registration Act 2002 than was the case under the Land Registration Act 1925.

A notice entered in the Property Deeds in respect of a third party interest will protect its priority against that of a subsequent registrable disposition for value. A restriction, by preventing the registration of a subsequent registrable disposition for value, will prevent the priority of a third party interest from being postponed.

Notices

The nature and effect of notices:
A notice is an entry made in the Property Deeds in respect of the burden of an interest affecting a registered Property or Mortgage.

Notices are almost always entered in the Charges register of a registered Property to which they relate. Where a notice is entered in respect of an interest affecting a registered Mortgage it will refer specifically to the entries relating to the affecting Mortgage.

The effect of a notice is very limited. The entry of a notice does not guarantee that the interest that it protects is valid or even that it exists. A notice will only ensure that the priority of the interest protected will not be automatically postponed on the registration of a subsequent registrable disposition for value, if the interest is valid.

If an interest has overriding status before becoming noted in the Property Deeds, it will lose that status when the notice is entered in the Property Deeds (section 29(3) Land Registration Act 2002). The protection afforded by the entry of a notice is the same as that afforded by overriding status. However, the person with the benefit of the interest should be aware that once the interest has been noted, overriding status cannot be regained even if the notice is cancelled.

Interests that cannot be protected by notice:
Certain interests cannot be protected by notice. These are:
- interests under a trust of Land (section 33(a)(i) Land Registration Act 2002
- interests under a settlement under the Settled Land Act 1925 (section 33(a)(ii) LRA 2002)
- leasehold estates in Property for a term of three years or less, except for any that have to be registered;
- restrictive covenants made between the lessor and lessee that relate only to the demised Property (section 33(c) LRA 2002)
- interests capable of registration under the Commons Registration Act 1965;
- certain interests in coal, coal mining and coal mining rights;
- PPP Leases

To the extent that these interests require protection by entry in the Property Deeds (some of them have overriding status so do not need further protection), the only protection that can be applied for is a restriction.
