PREFACE
This book is designed to make easy access to the basic concepts in the Law of Conveyancing and ‘Conveyancing Precedents’, for students of law as well as Legal Practitioners. There have been no dramatic changes in this particular branch of law and Advocates depend on original concepts, which are difficult to understand. The need to simply it cannot be over emphasised. The aim is not to study all the feudal concepts but to provide a practical guideline and easy reference for those involved in taking the bar examination as well as those in the practice. This work is not intended to be used as a substitute for a regular text book but more so as a reference book as the law of Conveyancing takes shape in Zambia, resulting in the setting up of new Land Registry offices throughout the country and the implementation of the new Lands Act.

NOTES ON CONVEYANCING Real property is contrasted with personal property such as goods called chattels.
Real property is land and includes all things
attached to the land such as buildings. The law of real property therefore embraces the rules governing the acquisition, retaining, and disposal of land and things attached to the land: the law also governs certain interests in the land which are less than full ownership, for example a right to cross another person’s land, called an easement. At this point it is important to mention a lease or leasehold estates. These are classed strictly as personal and not real property, but because they involve the enjoyment of land, leases are referred to as chattels The best known estates in land are called freehold estates, and leasehold estates or simply a lease. LEASES “Definition” of a Lease A lease is a contract creating an interest in Land for a fixed period of certain duration in consideration normally of the payment of rent.
An interest created in this way is called a term of years.
Frequently it is referred to as a lease or leasehold interest. There is no limit to the time for which a lease may be created provided it is for a specific number of years. It may also be leased at a normal rent or entirely free of rent or other obligations for a long term as security for payment of money borrowed.
In this sort of lease however the lender does not
normally take possession. Land may be leased for farming, mining or building purposes. A LEASE MAY TAKE VARIOUS FORMS 1.
For a term of years i.e for a fixed and certain duration.
2.
For a fixed or uncertain duration which can be made certain e.g a tenancy at will:
When A occupies B’s land the
understanding that A may go when he likes and that B may terminate A’s interest when he likes: or a tenancy at sufferance which occurs when A comes into possession by a lawful leasing and after his estate is terminated or expires, continues in possession without consent of the landlord. MORTGAGES WHAT IS A MORTGAGE OF LAND: A mortgage is a conveyance of an interest in real property as security for the payment of a sum of money on the condition that interest will be extinguished or reconveyed when the sum is fully repaid.
The person borrowing
the money is called the mortgagor and the lender is called the mortgagee. The use of the word “Mortgage” is generally, but not necessary restricted to those instances where the security given is land or an interest in land. The Law of Property Act 1925 of the United Kingdom is not applicable in Zambia.
The law governing
mortgages is contained in the Conveyancing Act 1881, 1882, 1892, 1911 all being English Acts and in Chapter 185 of the Laws of Zambia. HOW ARE MORTGAGES CREATED? A mortgage may be either (i)
“Legal” i.e recognised by the strict law. A legal mortgage is conditional transfer of a mortgagor’s legal interest in property or
(ii)
“Equitable” i.e not recognised by the strict law, but by equity only. A right over property by way of security.
How is a legal mortgage created? (i)
Where the mortgagor holds his property in fee simple. By an absolute conveyance of the property to the mortgagee as security only, with a covenant for the reconveyance of the property if the money is repaid on the fixed date. There is no freehold tenure in Zambia.
Reference is made to freehold
property, purely as a matter of interest and for better understanding of the law and the principals involved. (ii)
Where the mortgagor’s property is a lease: By the grant of a sub-lease to the mortgagee for a term slightly shorter than that remaining to the mortgagor, or for an even shorter term.
(iii)
By an assignment (sale) to the mortgagee of the whole or the remainder of the lease, with a provision for the re-assignment on payment of the money advanced on a certain day. If any of the above forms of mortgage is to a Building Society, the rules laid down in the Building Society Act 1939, (An English Act applicable to Zambia) is to be complied with. Equitable Mortgage of a Legal Estate (a)
Mere
agreement

in
or
form
declaration of
a
deed)
in
writing
setting
out
(not the
mortgager’s intention to give a legal mortgage of his property in security for a loan. This will have effect of giving the mortgagee an equitable interest in the property which he will hold as mere security. (b)
By deposit of the Title Deeds to the Legal estate, with the mortgagee.
However, see Sections 66 and 4 of the Lands & Deeds Registry Act. The Remedies of the Equitable mortgagee: (i)
To sue for the amount of the debt
(ii)
To apply to the court for (a)
a receiver
(b)
foreclosure
(c)
judicial sale
What is the Equity of redemption? The date fixed for repayment is the ‘legal date for redemption’. If the mortgagor does not repay by this date he looses his legal right to the land. From this time onwards he has merely an equitable right to redeem, amounting to an equitable interest in the property. The Mortgagor’s possession of both (a) a legal right to redeem on the contract date, and (b) an equitable right to redeem later, is called his ‘equity of redemption’, and is an equitable interest in land which he could sell, leave by will, mortgage, etc.
Rights of the Mortgagee under Legal Mortgage: 1.
to call in the money at any time after the day fixed for repayment and to sue the mortgagor personally on his covenant to re-pay in the mortgage instrument if default in payment is made.
2.
to foreclose.
3.
to take possession but only under a strict liability to to the mortgagor.
4.
to sell under his power of sale after notice has been given or on breach of some other condition e.g to insure.
5.
This power is expressly reserved to the mortgagee by Section 66 of the Lands & Deeds Registry Act provided the mortgage
is created by a Deed and is ed in accordance with Section 4 of the Act. Under this power to sell the mortgagee can transfer the whole estate (Section 66(2) Cap. 185) The rights of both the mortgagor and the mortgagee may be affected by the lapse of time. By Section 12 of the Limitation Act 1939 when a mortgagee has been in possession of any mortgage for 12 years without acknowledging in writing that mortgagor’s title, the mortgagor’s equity of redemption is barred.
Likewise
under section 18 of the said Act no action may be brought against a mortgagee to recover the sum secured by the mortgage if the mortgagor remains in possession of it for 12 years without paying interest or acknowledging the title of the mortgagee. THE MORTGAGEE’S POWER OF SALE In what circumstances may the mortgagee exercise his statutory power of sale of the mortgaged property? The power is expressly provided for him under Section 65 and 66 of Cap. 185, but can only be exercised if the mortgage was created by deed; The mortgagee may sell the property if: (i)
The payment of the mortgage money or any part of it is in arrears for three months.
(ii)
If the payment of interest is in arrears for two months.
(iii)
There is breach by the mortgagor of some other condition e.g his duty to insure the property and;
(iv)
The mortgagor has failed to put the default right even after he has been given notice that the mortgagee will sell the property if he did not.
EASEMENTS AND PROFITS These are two types of benefits enjoyed over another person’s land.
Definition of an Easement: It is a privilege enjoyed by the owner of one piece of land, either to use the land of another person in a particular manner e.g to over it to reach his own land, or to restrict to a limited extent, the use by the other person of his own land. The person enjoying the privilege is however not allowed to remove the natural produce or soil of the other person’s land.
An easement cannot be given a
value in money. An easement is a legal interest in the other person’s land owned by the one enjoying it. It may be positive i.e granting an active right to do something, or negative, i.e granting power to restrict the other person’s use of his own land. Six of the main things which may be enjoyed as easement: 1.
Light: e.g right that light coming over ading land to a window shall not be unreasonably obstructed.
2.
Water: e.g right to go on ading land to divert the course of a stream.
3.
: e.g building by ading land.
4.
Fence: a right to have fence maintained by an ading owner.
5.
Air: e.g a right to have a free flow of air at one’s window.
6.
Ways: e.g a right to cross back and forth over another person’s land to get to the highway.
How are easements created? Easement are usually created by being granted to the one who is to enjoy it, and only very rarely by statute. express (2) implied (3) presumed. 1.
Express Grant:
The grant may be (1)
The Common Law required this to be by deed, but equity may accept ‘part performance’ as making good the absence of a deed

by
S.
6(1)
of
the
Conveyancing
ct
1881
conveyances of land include all privileges, easements and rights,
even
though
not
specifically
mentioned
in
the
conveyance. 2.
Implied Grant: This occurs mainly by an owner who sells part of his land over which he had been in the habit of exercising Quasi easements.
The principle is referred to as the rule in
Whealdon v Burrows and is stated as follows:
Where an
owner grants part of his land, the grantee obtains, by implication
easements,
which
satisfy
the
following
requirements: (i)
They must have been continuous quasi easements.
(ii)
They must be apparent.
(iii)
They must be necessary for the reasonable enjoyment of the land sold.
3.
Presumed Grant: i.e by Prescription at Common Law
If privilege of the appropriate type is proved to have been exercised (i)
as of right
(ii)
continuously and
(iii)
neither, violently, nor secretly, nor by permission, it will be deemed to be an easement established by presumed grant at common law.
Four identifying Characteristics of easements: 1.
There must be a dominant tenement and a servient tenement
The dominant tenement is the land owned by the person who is enjoying the privilege. A person who does not himself own land cannot enjoy an easement. 2.
The easement must accommodate the dominant tenement i.e It must result in the better enjoyment of dominant tenement by making it better and more convenient property.
3.
The owners of the dominant and the servient tenement must be different persons A person cannot enjoy a true easement over part of his own land, but a mere quasi easement. N.B. A mere tenant cannot acquire an easement over the ading property of his landlord, for the tenant’s occupation is in the eyes of the law the occupation of his landlord, and one cannot acquire an easement against oneself: Warburton & Poake 1857 2. H. & N: except that a tenant can acquire an easement of light.
4.
An easement must be capable of being the subject matter of grant i.e there must have been a person who was capable of granting the easement over the servient tenement, and as well a grantee who was a definite person or body having the capacity of acquiring the grant of the easement e.g he must have owned land called the dominant tenement.
If a so called privilege lacked any of the above 4 characteristics, it would not be recognised by the law as an easement and the following provision of S.6(1) of the Conveyancing Act 1881 would not apply to it. “A conveyance of land shall be deemed to include and shall by virtue of this Act operate to convey with the land all buildings erections, fixtures, commons, hedges, ditches, fences, ways, waters, water courses, liberties, privileges, easements, rights and
advantages whatsoever, appertaining or reputed to appertain to the land, or any part thereof, or at the time of conveyance, demised, occupied or enjoyed with, or reputed or known as part of parcel of, or appurtenant to the land or any part thereof”. In simple words a conveyance es to the buyer, all easements formerly enjoyed by the land being sold. CO-OWNERSHIP This means that two or more persons are entitled to simultaneous enjoyment of the land. There are two categories: (i)
t Tenancy
(ii)
Tenancy in Common
1.
t tenancy
This is created when land is ed to several persons all at the same time but with no words stating what share each is entitled to e.g “to A and B”. The grantees are t tenants and have separate rights one against the other, but as regards, persons outside the group, they are in the position of a single owner. The right of survivorship i.e jus accrescendi. i.e when one t tenant dies, his interest es to the remaining t tenants: this can go on until the last survivor is the sole owner of the land. Should a t tenant leave his share by will to someone who is not a t tenant, this will be overridden by the rule of survivorship. N.B. A t tenant can dispose of e.g sell his interest in the land while he is alive, but this has the effect of destroying the t tenancy and converting it into tenancy in common. Tenancy in Common This is to be distinguished from t tenancy as follows:
(i)
Tenants hold individual shares i.e they have quite separate and distinct interests and are only considered together because their shares are in property which is as yet undivided among them. The shares may be 1/5 to A and 4/5 to B.
(ii)
The rule of survivorship does not apply.
The size of the
shares being already settled, this is not affected by the death of a tenant. On his death his interest merely es to his heirs by will or intestacy. (iii)
Whereas the unity of possession applied, there need not be unity of interest.
CONTRACTS If either party wrongfully refuses to complete the contract the other can sue for specific performance, or if, the contract falls through because the seller wilfully refuses to sell, the buyer may sue for damages for beach of contract. But if the sale falls through by reason of defect of title, the purchaser can recover his deposit and the costs he has incurred in investigating the title. He cannot get damages for loss of his bargain.
This is a long
standing rule which was established in the case of Flureau v Thornhill (1776) 2 BI 1078.
RULES UNDER OPEN CONTRACT The following are rules as to the proof of title and matters incidental thereto under an open contract. Rule 1 Vendor must make good title
The vendor must prove that he has (or will have or can convey the title to the property to be conveyed) free from incumbrances. Rule 2 Vendor must show title for 40 years The Vendor must deliver an abstract showing all the dealings with and the history of the land for a certain period. These periods are: (a)
In the case of freehold, he must start with a document at least 40 years old which deals with the whole legal and equitable interest in the land and contains the description by which the property can be identified and does not show any defect or doubt in the title. This is called “good root of title”. Before the Vendor and Purchaser Act, 1874, which is applicable in Zambia the period was 60 years.
(b)
In case of Crown grants, leaseholds the abstract of title must begin with the grant, lease or other instruments creating the interest which is being sold however long or short time ago it may have been executed. Where it is stipulated that the title should commence with a particular instrument the nature of the instrument should in every case be clearly stated.
(c)
Grant or sale of lease or under lease (i)
Under a contract to grant or assign a term of years, whether derived from a freehold or leasehold, the intended purchaser cannot call for the title to the freehold. Thus if A, the tenant in the fee simple agrees under an open contract to grant a lease to B for 99 years, B cannot call for any title at all.
(ii)
Under a contract to sell and assign a term of years derived from a leasehold reversion. If B agrees to sell his leasehold interest to C, C is precluded from calling A’s freehold title but he can always call for the
production of the original lease granted by A to B however old. Rule 3 The Vendor must prove that the property described in the deeds is the same as the property which the Buyer has agreed to buy. This is called “proof of identity” and may be established by means of old plans, lease and declarations. Rule 4 The Vendor must prove that the land is of the same size and same nature as the description under which it is being sold. If there is some very slight mistake in the description the contract can be enforced, but as we have noticed the seller must pay back a small part of the purchaser money as compensation.

CONTRACTS-FORM AND CONTENTS A contract for the sale of land is governed by the same legal rules as any other contract, but there are particular rules concerning land which need to be discussed in detail. What follows is equally applicable to sale by a private agreement or to a sale by an auction. In accordance with Section 4 of the Statute of Frauds a contract for the sale of land is not enforceable unless evidenced by some memorandum or note thereof in writing, signed by the party to be charged or some person lawfully authorised by him to sign. The following have been held to be within that section:
1.
A contract for the sale of natural growing crops such as grass or timber unless they are to be cut at once by the of the contract, in which case the contract is one for the sale of goods (see the definition of “goods” in the sale of Goods Act 1893, s.62) and must comply with the provisions of s.4 of the said Act. But a contract for the sale of industrial growing crops i.e crops produced annually
by the labour of man, it is not
within the section and need not be in writing:
2.
A contract for a mortgage of land
3.
A contract for the sale of debentures charged on land
4.
An agreement for a lease, however short:
5.
An agreement for letting lodgings, where the lodger has a separate part of the house assigned for his use but not where there is no right to separate occupation i.e a licence.
6.
An agreement for an easement. It should be noted that the contract, if not in writing, is still valid but merely unenforceable at common law. Therefore it can still be enforced, where there is a means of enforcement which is indirect e.g by forfeiture of the purchaser’s deposit or by suing the purchaser on his cheque given for the deposit and later stopped. In equity where there is a sufficient act of part performance Equity will decree specific performance, despite the lack of writing, to a party who can prove the performance of some act which is exclusively and unequivocally referable to the contract alleged and not merely introductory to the contract. Entry into possession under an oral agreement for lease is sufficient, but mere payment of a deposit is not nor even payment of the whole purchase money but compare the case of Rashid Bin Salim vs Mohammed Bin Said, (1957) E.A. 2111 where Windham D.J. said “--- and oral contract for the sale of land, wholly performed on the purchaser’s side by the payment of the purchase price entitles the purchaser to sue for specific performance----“.
The memorandum must be
signed by the party to be charged or his agent. Note that an agent can be authorised to sign by word of mouth. But if the memorandum is a deed, the agent must himself be authorised by deed (a power of attorney).
Note that a legal practitioner has no general authority to sign on behalf of his client, although he may be given express authority. To satisfy s.4 the memorandum must contain all the material of the agreement which have been expressly agreed between the parties i.e the parties, the price, the property and any other special which are material. The parties should be described by name and address, though “proprietor”, “owner” and “mortgagee” have been held to suffice in the context of a particular property. The price should always be clearly stated in the contract. If it is not so stated the court will not imply any agreement for sale “at a reasonable price”. Any other material term must also be included in the memorandum. Where a term that vacant possession was to be given on a certain day was omitted, it was held to be vital to
both
parties
and
the
memorandum
was
therefore
insufficient. However, if the omitted term solely benefits the plaintiff and is of minor importance, the plaintiff may waive the benefit of the term and enforce the contract, as where the purchaser’s agreement to pay the vendor’s costs was omitted. The form of the memorandum is generally immaterial, and it may come into existence at any time before the court hearing. The writing need not be intended to be a memorandum of an oral agreement e.g. a letter in which one party repudiates the
contract, but in which he sets out all its , will be a sufficient memorandum. The memorandum may be made up of one or more documents for example containing an offer to sell (followed by a telegram repeating the offer) accepted by telegram.
But
documents must by a clear or implied reference to the other in the one signed by the Defendant be linked.
Where the
documents are unconnected, as where a cheque for the deposit was acknowledged by a receipt which contained the contract term and there was no reference on the cheque (signed by the defendant) to the receipt. It was held that the memorandum was insufficient. It is a common practice to have two copies of the contract, one signed by the purchaser and one by the vendor, and for these to be exchanged. In such a case there is no completed contract until exchange does take place.
Thus where the
purchaser had signed his part and posted it to the vendor’s solicitor, and the vendor had signed his part but it had not been posted, there was no contract. Advocates, acting as such, cannot by their correspondence constitute a contract for they are not agents within whose ostensible authority lies the function of making a contract. Should a contract for the sale of land be ed? S.4(1) of cap 185 provides that “every document purporting to grant---- and interest in land------ must be ed------within thirty days of its date”.
On a strict construction of
these words it would appear that a contract for the sale of land is required to be ed.
Failure to do so would
result in the contract becoming “null and void” (Section 6). This in turn would lead to the absurd situation that, provided the time that elapses between contract and completion is less than thirty days, the contract will remain valid, but, if the time is longer, an otherwise valid contract becomes of no effect whatsoever, and either party may treat the whole agreement as terminated. In practice, it is accepted by the Registrar of Lands and Deeds that such a contract does not require to be ed but there has been no judicial approval of this practice. There are circumstances in which the legal practitioner acting for the purchaser should certainly the contract, for example where he suspects that the vendor may attempt to complete some other transaction notwithstanding his contract to sell, or where there is expected to be a long time lag between contract and completion. If he does not do so the purchaser may lose the land and be left with only a remedy in damages and possibly an action for negligence against his legal advisor. It follows that the only safe course is to all contracts unless specifically instructed otherwise. 2.
THE PARTICULARS OF SALE The purpose of the particulars set out in a contract is to describe the property which it is proposed to sell and also to state any incumbrances subject to which the sale is made. The particulars must describe the property correctly and a misstatement of fact (e.g that the property is freehold when it is infact leasehold) would entitle the purchaser to refuse to complete.
However, expressions of opinion (e.g that “the
property is worth K10,000” would not entitle the purchaser to rescind if, infact, the property is worthless. Although a contract for the sale of land is not one that requires uberrima fides (i.e in which an absolute duty lies on each party to disclose all material facts of which he has knowledge) there are certain items which a vendor must disclose in the contract particulars.
These may be broadly
classified as defects in quality and defects in title. Defects in quality are those in the quality of the land which will prejudice the purchaser in the physical enjoyment of the property. However, the vendor’s duty to disclose such defects depends on whether they are such as to be discoverable by inspection by the purchaser and ordinary vigilance on his part (patent defects) or whether they would be revealed by any inquiry which the purchaser is in position to make (latent defects). As regards patent defects the rule is “caveat emptor” an the vendor need not disclose them in the contract.
If the purchaser fails to
discover that, for example, the house of which he is taking a tenancy is in ruinous condition, he has only himself to blame. But active concealment by the vendor of defects which would otherwise be patent is a fraud entitling the purchaser to rescind. As regards latent defects the vendor is required to disclose these so far they are known to him, if they are, to his knowledge, such that the purchaser, if he had known of them, would not have entered into the contract. Where there is a physical defect in the property unknown to either party the purchaser will only be able to rescind if he can prove that
he will thereby be prevented from using the property for the purpose for which it was sold to him. Defects in the title are those which may expose the purchaser to adverse claims to the land.
In the absence of anything to the
contrary, an agreement for the sale of the land implies that the whole of the vendor’s interest will be sold. It follows that if there are incumbrances which the vendor cannot or will not remove he must give details in the contract. If he does so the purchaser impliedly agrees to take subject to such incumbrances as he has knowledge of at the date of the contract. But such notice does affect the liability of a vendor who expressly agrees to show a good title. What constitutes a defect in title which the vendor will be bound to disclose?
The courts have held that the following matters are
defects:(a)
The existence of an easement over the property.
(b)
Covenants restricting the use and enjoyment of the property.
(c)
On the sale of leasehold, the existence of any unusual or onerous covenants in the lease.
(d)
The failure of the contract to distinguish between an original lease and an underlease.
(e)
The existence of a lease or tenancy agreement of the property. Although a mortgage is clearly; an incumbrance, it is accepted practice that, if the mortgage is to be redeemed on or before completion, there is no need to mention the mortgage in the contract.
3.
THE DEPOSIT
It is usual upon exchange of contracts for the purchaser to pay a deposit of 10% of the purchase price (though the amount may
vary). This acts as part payment of the purchaser price and as a guarantee that the purchaser will perform the contract.
As has
already been noted payment of the deposit is not an act of part performance sufficient to render enforceable in equity an oral contract that is not enforceable at law. The deposit is usually paid to the Vendor’s solicitors, though it may be taken by the vendor himself or by an estate agent. It may be taken either “as stakeholder” or “as agent for the vendor”. If taken as stakeholder the effect is that the holder of the deposit may not be part with it unless and until both parties to the contract have performed their sides of the bargain. Where the deposit is taken as agent for the vendor it must be paid over to the vendor on demand. The Vendor will be liable for the deposit if it is paid to and then misappropriated by the agent. The vendor will also be liable where the deposit is paid to an estate agent “subject to contract” and he subsequently becomes insolvent before the contract is signed. In the absence of any stipulation as to how the deposit is to be held in such a case, it is held as agent for the vendor. Even where the vendor’s agent holds the deposit as stakeholder the vendor remains liable on the agent’s insolvency. Where the vendor is a trustee who has an agent acting for him the deposit should never be held by that agent as stakeholder for the trustees would then be in breach of S. 18(3) of the Trustee Act 1893. If the sale does not take place because the vendor cannot make good title, the deposit must be returned to the purchaser with interest (unless otherwise stipulated).
