- Unreg - Protected via land charge registered against the
name of the owner of the burdened estate at time of
creation. If protected binds new purchaser, if not, it doesn't.
- Reg - Protect using a notice or: Sch 3 sets out the
overrding interests so may be able to argue actual
occupation
- REGISTERED LAND - if not registered,
equitable only s27 LRA 02
- Overriding interests: Sch 1 LRA 02. Main one actual
occupation. HUNT v LUCK - equitable tenant in
occupation, purchaser didn't inspect, took subject to
equitable interest

isn't, it binds no-one MIDLAND BANK TRUST v GREEN

can be argued even if not protected with notice
