A mortgagee in possession has sold a property at auction. The mortgagee's charge is dated 20 February 2008. There is an equitable charge created by an interim charging order in favour of a second lender, registered on the 25th October 2010. Will the sale by the mortgagee in possession overreach the subsequent equitable charge and if so, will the equitable charge simply fall away or should the purchaser take any further steps to remove it from the register?
