Facts In 1977 Mr and Mrs Flegg sold their home of 28 years and used the 18,000 they made to help buy Bleak House, Grange Road, Gillingham, Kent, registered at HM Land Registry title number K467866. Their daughter and her husband, Mrs and Mr Maxwell Brown had asked them to, and they put in the remaining 16,000 by taking out a mortgage. It was meant for them all to live in, but the daughter and husband registered as the owners, despite their solicitor advising all four of them be registered. So Mr and Mrs Flegg had an equitable property right from their contributions to the purchase price, the Maxwell Browns holding on trust for them. The Maxwell Brown s had money trouble and remortgaged with the City of London Building Society to raise 37,500 without the Fleggs consent. They Fleggs were suspicious and entered a caution against dealings at the Land Registry. They defaulted and the building society sought possession. Judgment The House of Lords held that the building society s charge took priority, and could use the overreaching defence against the Fleggs pre existing trust right. Although under the Land Registration Act 1925 section 70, people with actual occupation may have an overriding interest that would take priority over a third party, like the building society, this does not happen if the purchase ... land registration English land law Notes refs 2 References DEFAULTSORT City Of London Building Society ... more details
