The power conferred by paragraph (a) of this subsection may be exercised in respect of land so sold, either before or after the land has been brought under the provisions of the Real Property Act 1900.

The instrument of modification shall be in or to the effect of the prescribed form.

Where a special condition binding on any land is modified under this section after the land has been brought under the provisions of the Real Property Act 1900, the Registrar-General may make every such entry, cancellation and correction in the Register kept under that Act as shall appear to the Registrar-General to be necessary or proper to give effect to the instrument by which such special condition is modified.
