100 Years of the LPA 1925 | Beyond Doctrine Ep. 3
Episode 43
Friday, 26 December, 2025
In this special anniversary episode of CULSCAST: Beyond Doctrine, we explore how a century-old statute continues to shape the legal landscape of property in profound and surprising ways.An all‑stars of land law, joined by Lorna Fox‑O’Mahony, Lorren Eldridge, Martin Dixon, and David Sawtell, this episode explores 100 years of the Law of Property Act and its enduring impact.Since its passage in 1925, the Law of Property Act (LPA) has been one of the cornerstones of English land law — simplifying centuries-old rules, reorganising property interests, and laying the groundwork for modern conveyancing and ownership frameworks. In our discussion, we delve into the Act’s foundational simplification of land ownership, the balance between legal and equitable rights, the evolution of statutory mortgages and formalities, and contemporary debates around leasehold, digital formality, and whether the LPA’s structure remains fit for the 21st century.Hoping you all had a very merry Christmas and wishing you all a Happy New Year — see you in 2026!
