In this episode:
• Three registers: what is sold, who owns it, what burdens it
• Red edging is a general boundary, not a surveyed line
• A good root of title must be at least fifteen years old
• Restrictive covenant burdens run with the land; positive ones do not
• Overriding interests bind although nothing appears on the register
