English Land Law

English Land Law governs the ownership and use of land in England and Wales. It distinguishes between different types of property rights, such as freehold (full ownership) and leasehold (temporary ownership). The law outlines how land can be bought, sold, leased, and inherited, and it establishes the rights and responsibilities of landowners and tenants. Important concepts include 'title,' which refers to legal ownership, and 'easements,' which are rights to use someone else's land for a specific purpose. Overall, it aims to clarify how land rights operate within society and to resolve disputes related to property.
