GLOSSARY
Grantee describes the person or entity that receives a right, interest or estate under a grant, typically by deed. In practice this includes the transferee under a deed of grant of an easement (right of way), the tenant under a lease, or the lender (mortgagee/chargee) under a legal charge. The counterpart is the grantor (England & Wales, Northern Ireland and Ireland) or granter (Scotland). In a Scottish disposition the grantee is often termed the disponee.Grantee is a descriptive term used across conveyancing and property transactions rather than a single defined statutory concept, though specific instruments or legislation may define it for their purposes.Key features: the grantee acquires the benefit of covenants and rights granted; their identity must be certain for the deed to take effect; and registration (HM Land Registry, Registers of Scotland, Land Registry of Northern Ireland, or the Property Registration Authority of Ireland) will usually be required to secure title or priority. Tax and duty consequences (for example SDLT, LBTT or Irish stamp duty) and third‑party consents may arise on grants in favour of the grantee.Usage is broadly consistent, though terms such as lessee, transferee, mortgagee or disponee are often used in the relevant instrument.

This Practice Note sets out the position in relation to the grant of assured tenancies (AT) and assured shorthold tenancies (AST) in England where the Renters’ Rights Act 2025 (RRA 2025) does not apply.

RRA 2025 will not apply to an AT or AST: • in the private sector granted before 1 May 2026 where the transitional provisions in RRA 2025 apply as a notice seeking possession was served prior to 1 May 2026, or • where the tenancy is of social housing
PRACTICE NOTES
Why do lenders require security? It is common for a lender to require security over borrower assets as a condition to providing any loan facilities. Taking security means that the lender will have certain rights over the secured assets in the event that the borrower fails to repay the loan, for example the right to sell the assets to repay the outstanding indebtedness. What types of security might a borrower be asked to provide? The nature of the rights conferred by a security interest will depend on the type of security taken. Security may take the form of: • mortgage—under a mortgage, the legal and/or beneficial title to an asset is transferred to the lender by way of security on condition that it will be re-transferred to the borrower upon repayment of the debt/satisfaction of the outstanding obligations; note that an assignment by way of security is a form of mortgage (see Practice Note: Mortgages) • charge—a charge, which may be fixed or floating, is an encumbrance on the asset that gives the lender the
