LAW OF PROPERTY ACT 1936 - SECT 49

49—Conveyance on sale

        (1)         A mortgagee exercising the power of sale conferred by this Act shall have power to convey or to transfer, as the case may be, the property sold, for such estate and interest therein as he is by this Act authorised to sell or convey, or as may be the subject of the mortgage, freed from all estates, interests, and rights to which the mortgage has priority, but subject to all estates, interests, and rights which have priority to the mortgage.

        (2)         Where a conveyance or transfer is made in exercise of the power of sale conferred by this Act, the title of the purchaser shall not be impeachable on the ground—

            (a)         that no case had arisen to authorise the sale; or

            (b)         that due notice was not given; or

            (c)         that permission of the court, when so required, was not obtained; or

            (d)         that the power was otherwise improperly or irregularly exercised;

and a purchaser shall not, either before or on conveyance or transfer, be concerned to see or inquire whether a case has arisen to authorise the sale, or due notice has been given, or the power is otherwise properly and regularly exercised; but any person damnified by an unauthorised, or improper, or irregular exercise of the power shall have his remedy in damages against the person exercising the power.

        (3)         A conveyance or transfer on sale by a mortgagee shall be deemed to have been made in exercise of the power of sale conferred by this Act or by the Real Property Act 1886 unless a contrary intention appears.
