Latest Property Q&As

Q&As
There is a restrictive covenant noted on a registered title, and the covenant was created in 1966 before registration of the land in 1980. If a land charges search reveals that the covenant is not registered as a class D(ii) land charge against the original covenantor, does that mean it should never have been noted on the registered title and is not enforceable? What is the limitation period for enforcement of restrictive covenants?
Q&As
A title register makes reference to 'stipulations' which are provided in the schedule of restrictive covenants, but there is a note on the title that 'No copy of the covenant to observe the said stipulations was supplied on first registration' (which took place in 1993) and a land charges search does not reveal that any of the stipulations were registered.
