Propose a change

Law of Property Act 1925

Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

What to do with it
As published

94 Tacking and further advances.

(1) After the commencement of this Act, a prior mortgagee shall have a right to make further advances to rank in priority to subsequent mortgages (whether legal or equitable)— (a) if an arrangement has been made to that effect with the subsequent mortgagees; or (b) if he had no notice of such subsequent mortgages at the time when the further advance was made by him; or (c) whether or not he had such notice as aforesaid, where the mortgage imposes an obligation on him to make such further advances. This subsection applies whether or not the prior mortgage was made expressly for securing further advances. (2) In relation to the making of further advances after the commencement of this Act a mortgagee shall not be deemed to have notice of a mortgage merely by reason that it was registered as a land chargeor in a local deeds registry, if it was not so registered at the time when the original mortgage was created or when the last search (if any) by or on behalf of the mortgagee was made, whichever last happened. This subsection only applies where the prior mortgage was made expressly for securing a current account or other further advances. (3) Save in regard to the making of further advances as aforesaid, the right to tack is hereby abolished: Provided that nothing in this Act shall affect any priority acquired before the commencement of this Act by tacking, or in respect of further advances made without notice of a subsequent incumbrance or by arrangement with the subsequent incumbrancer. (4) This section applies to mortgages of land made before or after the commencement of this Act, but not to charges registered under the Land Registration Act, 1925, or any enactment replaced by that Act on registered land .

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
