Section 18 Qualified title to freehold estate.

If, on an application for first registration of any person as full or limited owner of a freehold estateF1. . . , it appears to the Registrar. . . that the title can be established only for a limited period, or only subject to certain qualifications, the Registrar may, by an entry made on the register, except from the effect of registration any estate—

and a title registered subject to any such exception shall be called a “qualified title” .

The first registration of a person as full or limited owner of a freehold estate with a qualified title shall have the same effect as first registration with an absolute title or, as the case may be, with a good fee farm grant title, save that first registration with a qualified title shall not prejudice or affect the enforcement of any estate appearing from the register to be excepted.
