Where a lender agrees to its borrower obtaining the grant of a new extended residential lease and the existing lease is already in charge to it, can it safely rely on section 58(4) of the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 so that a deed of substituted security is rendered unnecessary?

An individual has bought a property with a home rights notice registered against the title.

HM Land Registry (HMLR) Practice Guide 9 provides, at paragraph 6, that where the seller of property is represented by someone holding an unregistered enduring power of attorney (EPA) older than 12 months, HMLR might require evidence of non-revocation by way of a statement of truth by the buyer or a certificate from their solicitor. In such a case, is the buyer's legal representative required to make inquiries beyond the papers, or is that the role of the seller's legal representative (ie to take steps to check EPA validity and ultimate client confirmation)? Is there any guidance or case law of the responsibilities of the respective lawyers in such a case?

We have a charging order secured against a property, which is protected by way of a UN1. The defendant company has a restriction registered against the title which pre-dates the charging order. The debenture is noted as a restriction and not as a legal charge on the title. Our charging order is protected by way of a UN1. Does the fact that the debenture is not entered by way of a legal charge on the title document in any way promote our interest above that of the debenture?

Where a transfer of part refers to a variable rentcharge to secure the payment of service charge and is supported by a Deed of Covenant and title restriction, does the 'freehold setup' remove the risk of enforcement of the draconian remedies under section 121 of the Law of Property Act? Further, can a fixed rentcharge of £1 p/a still be created under the Rent Charges Act 1977?
