It is a clause that prevents one selling without the beneficiary of the overage confirming that the terms have been complied with. It is to prevent the seller selling the land under circumstances that have triggered the overage and not paying the beneficiary. It is a very standard clause.

We have a similar clause on our land. Basically it means you have to get the buyer to sign a certificate that says they agree to abide by previous clauses.
In your example the buyer has to sign to say they will abide by clause 4.2 of that previous agreement.
All depends on what clause 4.2 says whether it should bother you or not but it is a standard thing.

Looks like @Salopian_Will hit the button quicker than me. :)

It means that the land is subject to an overage agreement.

If the land is bought you need a certificate from the named person or their solicitor to say that the provisions of clause 4.2 of the overage agreement have been complied with to register the land in your name.

Clause 4.2 will undoubtedly be a clause in the overage agreement requiring any buyer to enter a deed of covenant with the person having the benefit of the overage saying the buyer will comply with the overage provisions and pay up if the overage is ever triggered.

Basically a restriction to protect the overage holders interests.

The overage agreement will not be registered on the title if a separate document. Sometimes they are incorporated into a transfer which may be registered and then available to download.
You will be provided with a copy prior to buying by the seller. If the land is on the market the seller or their agent should supply you with a copy.

This photo is from land registry title deed and the overage agreement is not on it.
As I said at post 11 an overage deed is not usually registered on the title.
The only way to see a copy is to ask the owner or their agent/solicitor.
If the land is not actually for sale you will not be able to see a copy.

Should be on the covenants or restrictions on the title deeds.

Pay £3 for title and £3 for plan and see all.
Anyone can.

Are the fee’s definitely £3 ?
I ask as when I was being nosy , wanting to find out who had bought some land and for how much, I was shocked to see the title/ plan fees were now nearly £20!!
Perhaps a deterrent for nosy old sods like me ;)

Yes. Because it’s mentioned there you can apply for an official copy of it.
Overage agreements are not normally registered on the title. The extract of the register shows a restriction to protect the overage agreement not that the overage agreement is registered against the title.

I think.you.must have been on a site that obtains copies for you from land registry and charges you an uplift for the service

Land registry is £3 per copy.
