Marius holds a five-year lease of a small warehouse containing a tenant's covenant to keep the premises in good repair and a forfeiture clause. He has let the roof fall into serious disrepair. The landlord, Nerys, wants to forfeit the lease by peaceably re-entering the warehouse at night when it is empty and changing the locks. What must Nerys do before she can forfeit?

What our land law questions cover

  • Freehold and leasehold estates and legal and equitable interests in land
  • Registered land: first registration, the register, notices and restrictions, and overriding interests
  • Co-ownership: joint tenancy and tenancy in common, severance, and disputes under TOLATA 1996
  • Leases: formalities, covenants, assignment and termination; licences
  • Easements: creation, implied grant and prescription; freehold covenants: when the burden and benefit run
  • Mortgages: lenders’ powers and borrowers’ protection, and priority between lenders

Rules the questions test most

  1. A legal lease of more than seven years must be completed by registration to take effect at law; a lease of three years or less, at the best rent without a premium and taking effect in possession, can be created orally.
  2. A joint tenancy in equity can be severed by written notice to the other joint tenants; a tenant in common’s share passes under their will or intestacy, not by survivorship.
  3. The interest of a person in actual occupation of registered land can override a later registered disposition, unless they did not disclose it on reasonable inquiry or the occupation was not obvious on a reasonably careful inspection and the buyer did not know of it.
  4. The burden of a positive freehold covenant does not run with the land at common law or in equity; the burden of a restrictive covenant can run in equity if it was made to benefit the covenantee’s land and the parties intended it to run.
  5. An easement must have a dominant and a servient tenement, accommodate the dominant land, be owned or occupied by different persons, and be capable of forming the subject matter of a grant (Re Ellenborough Park).

Common questions

How much of FLK2 is land law?

The SRA blueprint gives Land Law 14–20% of FLK2, about 24 to 34 of the paper’s 170 questions, in session 1 from January 2027.

What is the difference between Land Law and Property Law and Practice?

Land Law tests the rules on estates and interests in land. Property Law and Practice tests the conveyancing transaction itself: investigating title, searches, exchange, completion, leases in practice and the related taxes.
