Mortgages & security in conveyancing
SQE1 revision notes — the key rules, leading cases and common traps for this topic, in plain English and current to 2026.
The note is accurate on its core conveyancing/land-law content (LRA 2002 s.23/s.27 registration, s.48 priority, s.49 tacking, Sch 3 para 2 actual occupation, Boland, Etridge, e-DS1 discharge, SDLT 14-day deadline). The one error is the parenthetical "(aged 17+)" for adult occupiers — majority in England & Wales is 18, so consent/postponement deeds and the relevant overriding-interest analysis turn on occupiers aged 18+. Corrected in the note above.
