A developer is interested in buying a plot of land on which he plans to construct three properties. He has been informed that the adjacent school has a right-of-way over the land, which could hinder his development plans. The developer's solicitor has provided him with a copy of the land's title register.
Where should reference to the right-of-way appear on the title?

The Charges Register.
A) The Charges Register shows any burdens or restrictions on the property title, such as rights-of-way or easements. If a developer is interested in buying land with a right-of-way burden, it would be listed on this register.
B) The Property Register describes the property's address, reference to the title plan, legal estate held, and lease details if applicable. It may also mention any benefits like rights-of-way over neighbouring land.
C) The Proprietorship Register lists the class of title held and the name of the current legal estate holder.
D) and E) are incorrect options as they do not specify the correct register for the reference to appear in. It is important to note that if the right-of-way is not yet registered, it may be necessary to look at a conveyance or deed for further information.
