FE1 Exam Thread (Read 1st post!) No trading

Yeah same! Hopefully we just get lucky with the other questions

Does anyone have sample answers on mortgages? Struggling to understand it

No experience here but someone else posted recently here that they only bulleted their 5th Q. in Company in a previous exam and they passed so here's hoping it'll all go well for you!!

PROPERTY

Thoughts on covering:

1. Findings
2. Succession
3. AP
4. Co-ownership
5. Mortgages
6. Family Property

Should I be safe enough? Dread easements but a bit spooked after hearing about the March paper

Totally agree. Any thoughts on the influence of equity of the affect of the 2009 Act making an appearance? I guess with land reg being up in March some are expecting one of those to get a run

Equity

Can anyone who's sat/passed equity give some sort of insight into how long answers should be? The questions just seem a lot more focused... Compared to the other exams, would we be expected to write less for equity? Quality over quantity?

I think quality over quantity is the approach for all the exams. They don't seem to appreciate waffle. A lot of reports always comment negatively on how students write all they know when it's not what the questioned asked.

So I'd say as long as you feel like you've adequately answered the question, length is irrelevant.

If discussing husband & wife. I would quickly deal with the issue of class 2b etc then move on to Etridge and then the Irish position in Roche etc.

A husband and wife Q will usually involve the bank and you may well be advising the bank as to whether they had done enough... Therefore husband and wife aspect is almost irrelevant save for identifying its not automatically presumed etc. It'll be more a matter of establishing whether the bank had done enough to ensure her consent was free & independent etc.

Looking at the Grids, UI is definitely due a break on both Contract & Equity. Came up as a problem in both March 21 papers, and has been on last 3 Equity, PQ/PQ/ESSAY. I know it's a very popular topic but I have it lower down in my revision. Might see it as an essay in Equity and that will have a focus on the banks and what steps they need to take post Fitzgerald.

Best of luck to everyone sitting Property also! First week down 💪

Yeah but both were PQ's in March 21 weren't they? you could be right though, the examiner could just as easily throw them on again as they regularly appear! I wonder do the examiners sit with a grid and say "oh x is due a run" haha

Am I right in saying Equity changed the internal examiner a few sittings back? I think its is very hard to predict looking at the past papers, sometimes you get a nice carbon copy problem or essay from previous years but then just as easily get a new style question - especially with the Charitable Trusts problems.

I think they are spot-on in terms of predictions! I'd also add in:

• DMC problem
• Strong v Bird & Hating bass for Note
• Estoppel PQ

If the examiner goes with 3/4 questions from Equity side of the syllabus and 3/4 from Trusts, should be well covered with that lot!

EU

Does anyone have a sample answer for Question 6 March 2019 or Question 8 August 2020? Basically the ones on human rights/how human rights have developed through Charter, ECHR etc?

Thanks a million!
