New Everton Stadium

no, the agreement will be unprotected if it's not registered?
I think you might be wrong with this one mate.

I believe the land registry only indicates who owns or has a legal interest in the land, or applications to change the title.

There is no reason why two parties can't have a legally binding agreement to sell/buy the land once certain conditions are met (in this case, obtaining PP to build the stadium). The application to transfer the title would only be triggered once PP has been secured.

Everton will not have not purchased the site yet. They MIGHT have a legal agreement in place with Peel to buy the land once PP have been obtained. As no planning application has even been submitted yet, it could take months before the Land Registry will even get a whiff of this.
 
I'm too old in the tooth to bluff mate and what good would it do to name names on here,
He's been involved with local politics for a long while and has dealings with the club,
So basically has a foot in both camps.

It's not Richard Kemp is it? He basically says the opposite of Joe Anderson all the time and is pretty clueless.

I would beg to differ. an agreement to purchase land would as a matter of course be registered against such land. if it wasn't there's a real danger the owner could reach the same deal with ten others and then clear off.
 
1. When you must register

You must register all land or property with Land Registry if you’ve:

  • bought it
  • been given it
  • inherited it
  • received it in exchange for other property or land
  • mortgaged the property
You don’t usually need to register leasehold land or property if there are 7 years or less on the lease when you take ownership.
 

As described above, the fact nothing has been registered yet is a bit a red herring and not necessarily indicative of anything.

It may be that a chain of conditions must be in place before the land can be rubber stumped.

For example, there's no point us buying the dock for £30m if we also need the land that, say, Terry's Timber business on Regent Road is based on (just as an example), and he might be refusing to move on (not for one second suggesting that's the case, just using this as an example). Imagine there are multiple business like that that we really need to have in place first. It's getting all the 'ducks in a row'.

You don't want to end up in the position LFC were in years ago when there was one house with 2 little old ladies living in on Kemlyn Road who refused to move or be bought out, thus delaying things from progressing.

Well that would be fraud. There would also be no benefit in doing it as no money would necessarily pass over until the purchase goes through (unless Everton were paying for an option agreement). They would also be sued by 10 other parties.

To be fair, I'm not sure on this, which is why I said I think you're wrong. I do work in real estate development though, albeit not in the UK, so not familiar with the LR system there.
