Question

Gerald owns several properties. The first property is a detached house in Sussex. It has an unregistered title. The house has extensive grounds backing on to woods owned by the Woodland Trust. Gerald has noticed that someone, whose name he believes is Adam, has built a cabin in the woods and lives in it. Adam has fenced off some of Gerald's land and has a goat grazing on this and some chickens are running about. Gerald's daughter, Amy, tells Gerald that Adam has been there for several years, and doesn't seem to be doing any harm. She believes that Adam has a lease from the Woodland Trust but is not certain. Gerald is thinking of taking a mortgage on this property to raise funds in respect of the online craft business his daughter is hoping to set up, but is undecided at the moment. The second property is in Milton Keynes and backs onto the Grand Union Canal. Gerald has mooring rights on the canal and he moors his cabin cruiser there. He uses the property at weekends and for holidays. He understands that some of his neighbours have rights over his land to gain access to the canal. He is unsure which neighbours have this right as when he was there last weekend, there seemed to be a lot of people walking over his back lawn and down to the canal. Also, when he bought the property, he was assured that his neighbours would not be able to extend their property but when he arrived this weekend, it is clear that building works are starting and from the scaffolding it looks as if it is going to be a double storey extension. He understands that the title to the property is registered and he has obtained 'official copies' from the Land Registry. He needs to know the exact extent of what he owns, and who in particular has any legal rights over his land.

With regard to the property in Milton Keynes, explain to Gerald where in the title to the property he can find:

the extent of the property he owns

what rights he has over other people's land

who has rights over his land

and what restrictions there are likely to be both for his property and the neighbouring property.
