Easily overlooked
Hood, C
Easily overlooked - 2002 - Estates Gazette 228 13 July 2002, 124 (1) .
Discusses why landowners need to remain alert to easements that could affect their land even with the advent of the Land Registration Act 2002. Explains the different types of easements, express and implied and the need for buyers to make inspections and enquiries beyond the incomplete picture provided by title deeds and registers. The Land Registration Act 2002 coming into force in autumn 2003 aims to ensure that title registers provide an accurate picture of the title to registered land. Express legal easements will have then to be registered or they will fail to be binding. Buyers will only be bound by implied legal easements under certain conditions but should always try to discover if any rights have been exercised in the year before acquisition.
