Editing Lord of the manor (section)

==Manorial rights or incidents==
Since 1965 lords of the manor have been entitled to compensation in the event of compulsory purchase.<ref name=gov>{{cite web|title=Compulsory Purchase Act 1965|url=http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1965/56/enacted|website=legislation.gov.uk|publisher=HMSO|access-date=19 August 2014}}</ref> Before the [[Land Registration Act 2002]] it was possible for manors to be registered with [[HM Land Registry]]. No manorial rights could be created after 1925, following entry into force of the Law of Property Act 1922. Manorial incidents, which are the rights that a lord of the manor may exercise over other people's land, lapsed on 12 October 2013 if not registered by then with the Land Registry. This is a separate issue to the registration of lordships of manors, since both registered and unregistered lordships will continue to exist after that date. It is only their practical rights that lost what is called 'overriding interest', or in other words the ability to affect land even if the interests or rights are not registered against that land, as of 12 October 2013. Manorial incidents can still be recorded for either registered or unregistered manors; however, proof of existence of the rights may need to be submitted to the Land Registry before they will be noted and they may not be registered at all after affected land is sold after 12 October 2013. This issue does not affect the existence of the title of lord of the manor.<ref name="Land Registry Practice Guide 22"/> There have been cases where manors have been sold and the seller has unknowingly parted with rights to unregistered land in England and Wales.<ref name="BBC News, To The Manor Bought">{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/6923705.stm |work=BBC News |title=To The Manor Bought | date=31 July 2007}}</ref>
