Vendor's lien for unpaid purchase money

Vendor's lien for unpaid purchase money. Where a vendor of land conveys, without more, although the consideration is expressed to be paid both in the body of the deed and by a receipt endorsed on the back of it, still if the money or part of it was not in fact paid, a lien arises as between the vendor and the purchaser, and persons claiming as volunteers, for so much of the purchase money as remains unpaid. The mere giving of security will not prevent the lien arising, unless it appears that the security was to be substituted for the lien. Similarly a purchaser will have a lien for prematurely paid purchase money, see Mackreth v. Symmons, (1808) 15 Ves 329; 1 W &TLC.If the lien arose before 1926 and was not transferred after 1925, a purchaser for value of the legal estate in the land from the original purchaser will take it subject to the lien if he had notice of it, and in all cases where a pre-1926 lien has been transferred or a lien has arisen since 1925, it must be registered under...
