Identify the class of title for Honeysuckle Cottage and what it means.

• A. Qualified title
• B. Absolute title
• C. Possessory title
• D. Restricted title

Answer: (B)

Absolute title means the land register provides a full guarantee of the proprietor’s ownership. The title on the register is indefeasible, so a registered owner owns the land subject only to matters already noted on the register or to overriding interests. For Honeysuckle Cottage, this implies maximum protection and certainty for the owner and any lender, since the title is considered fully guaranteed with limited, clearly identified exceptions. If there were defects or limitations, they would be reflected by a different title class, such as a qualified title, which signals issues to be resolved before a clear transfer. The other options describe weaker or non-standard forms of title, which don’t offer the same level of guarantee as absolute title.
