(Apply legal principles in property law matters)

Imagine you are working as a conveyancing clerk. Your newly appointed supervisor comes to you and says that he is revising a property sale and seems cannot find some important details of the property in the documentation given by the client.

In particular the supervisor wants to know if the property is currently subject to a mortgage.

You know these details can be found in Form 1 or on the title if registered.

You take out the Form 1 from the file to review and verify the mortgage details.

You discover there is an unregistered mortgage.

• By a formal email verify and confirm this with your supervisor.
