Within UK property development finance, a Class of property and title related terms identifies legally recognised categories of ownership or status recorded by HM Land Registry. Each Class defines the scope of rights, the evidential basis for title, and the level of security it may provide to lenders and investors. This taxonomy supports due diligence, valuation analysis, and risk assessment across acquisition, development, and funding structures.
