Title contains restrictions or restrictive covenants.
Here is a summary but a property lawyer can advise further: - There is a restriction in the register relating to 'alienation' (dealing with the lease). The register says that any estates, rights or remedies arising from any dealing made in breach of the prohibition or restriction on dealings contained in the lease are excepted from registration. In plain English: the lease contains rules limiting how you can transfer, sell or otherwise deal with the lease (for example, it is likely to require the landlord's consent to assign the lease or may restrict sub-letting). If you try to transfer the lease in breach of those rules, that transfer may not be recognised at the Land Registry. You must read the lease to see the exact prohibitions and any conditions for consent.

Title contains beneficial rights or easements.
Here is a summary but a property lawyer can advise further:- The register says the title includes any legal easements granted by the lease and is subject to any rights the lease reserves. In plain English: the lease may give the flat rights such as use of communal areas, rights for drains, pipes, walls or support, and the landlord may have reserved rights (for example to access for repairs). The register does not list the detailed rights here — check the full lease (document A2) for the exact easements and landlord's reserved rights.

The sale of this property is subject to a condition that 1% of the future resale purchase price is to be paid to First Port upon any subsequent sale of the property by the purchaser.
