Definition :

Parcels, the technical term for the description of the property dealt with by a conveyance mortgage, or other assurance. The description may be express and independent, or by reference to the recitals in the deed, or to the subsequent parts of the instru-ment, or to some other instrument (Dav. Prec. Conv., vol. i.). In modern practice a description of the property is often set out in a schedule to the deed coupled with a reference to a plan drawn on the deed. If a plan is used, great care should be taken (which it very often is not) to ensure that the plan is accurate. As to a purchaser's right to have the property conveyed to him by reference to a plan, see Re Sansom, (1910) 1 Ch 741; Re Sparrow, (1910) 2 Ch 60. See also REGISTRATION OF TITLE TO LAND.
