Arthur Wellesley (1769-1852), Duke of Wellington, is reputed to have been the one to screech ‘All satisfactory things arrive from England, but cavalry is not one of them’ while facing Napoleon’s French Army at Waterloo on June 18, 1815. Wellesley had learnt his military trade in India applying his inspect of the art of war and had became a master of the reverse-slope tactic – keeping his forces screened from artillery fire tedious the brow of a hill. At Waterloo, however, Wellesley’s Armies were outwitted by Napoleon. The French Emperor had imitated Wellesley’s tactics by positioning 200 heavy artillery guns tedious a ridge at La Haye Sainte. When the Hussars and Dragoons cavalrymen led by Lord Uxbridge attacked in the notorious Charge of the Scots Greys, Napoleon commanded the guns on the topline of the ridge and one of the narrative artillery bombardments in history began. It was at this very moment, at the height of the Charge and while his 3,000 cavalrymen were being slaughtered by the quickly artillery fire of Napoleon’s heavy guns, that the phlegmatic English General is reputed to have exclaimed his now renowned announce, directed at Lord Uxbridge who had apparently ordered the Charge without Wellesley colorful it. The day was saved by Gebhard von Blucher (1742-1819), Field Marshal of Prussia, who led the assault of the Kaiser’s Prussian Cavalry against the French true sail, thus causing the entire French line to collapse.

Wellesley’s well-known jabber has been retouched several times throughout the years, depending on one’s point of understanding. The British dropped the second fragment – the reference to the ill-fated cavalry charge – thus creating the common short version ‘All honorable things reach from England’ – period. When about a century later Britain had the unwise plan of attacking the Ottoman Empire and the British and French Armies were fighting the Turks side-by-side in WWI, General Mustapha Kemal – the English-speaking Commander of the Turkish Garrison and victorious defender of Gallipoli – paraphrased the English dictum after 289 days of siege by turning it, somewhat deprecatingly, into: “No gracious things ever advance from England”. And Mahatma Gandhi throughout his teachings of non-violent conflicts resolutions makes reference to the fact that “All expedient things approach from India”.

Alas, no matter what your point of understanding is, I shall submit to readers of my Blog that “at least two pleasurable things comes from England” : Fee Simple Ownership and Organized genuine Estate.

English proper estate law (or ‘Estate Law’ as it was known abet then) was imported, through colonization, into the earlier forms of law in the U.S.A., Canada, Australia and recent Zealand. Many of these states, or their territories, have since modified this historical law, to varying degrees. A inspect of the aged feudal land system of England provides us with an invaluable glance of good history regulating the most indispensable asset of them all: land. In medieval times, land was the sole beget of wealth and it depended primarily on possession. You had it, you owned it. You wanted it, you fought for it. You found it, you kept it. There were no courts or police force ready to watch or enforce “accurate rights” as we know them today. All this changed with the Norman conquest of England in 1066. William decreed that he owned all of the land in England by upright of conquest. Not one acre of England was to be exempted from this massive expropriation. This sudden vacuum of privately-held land was promptly filled by a variety of large land grants given by the recent King to either his Norman officers or to those of the English who were ready to notice him as king. The scheme passe by the King to control and administer his land was that of tenure. Tenure was the key component of the feudal system. The King struck a bargain with a Lord for a astronomical chunk of land. The Lords that held their tenure directly from the King were called Tenants-in-chief. It was this group of persons who formed the basis of English aristocracy and began, by the process of subletting the King’s land, the implementation of the feudal system.

Tenures were of a variety of duration known as “estates” and the Fee Simple Estate was the most extensive and allowed the Tenant to sell or to vow by will or be transferred to the Tenant’s heir if he died. In recent law, almost all land is held in fee simple and this is as terminate as one can regain to absolute ownership in accepted law. It was in this context that the British began their dominion over the seas and their explorations which led to the novel nations of Australia, Canada, current Zealand and the United States of America. The view of developing an informal association of local trusty estate agents originated in the United States in the 1880s, and by the turn of the century about 15 accurate Estate Boards had been established. The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) was formed in the U.S. in 1908 with 19 boards and one site association. Organized dependable estate in Canada is almost as archaic as the country itself. The very first valid Estate Board was space up in 1888 in the growing community of Vancouver. befriend then, a commercial lot on Hornby Street arrive the Hotel Vancouver sold for $600. The Vancouver Board – as it was known then – was active until the initiate of the First World War, when operations were suspended. It resumed in 1919, and has been operating ever since.

The distinction of the oldest, continuous running Board belongs to Winnipeg, Manitoba. It started in 1903, and the Winnipeg right Estate Board was the first in Canada to celebrate its 100th anniversary. The Toronto Board was incorporated in 1920, followed by boards in Ottawa, Hamilton, Regina and Victoria in 1921. More than half of the existing loyal Estate Boards in Canada were created after 1955, in section because of the evolution of the “Photo Co-Op System” that was introduced in 1951. That was the forerunner of today’s MLS®, introduced in 1962. The Co-op System not only created a need for an organization to put rules and promote co-operation among agents, but also to provide funds to operate a dependable estate board. That’s when technology first changed the steady estate industry.
