Interest
In its broadest terms, the word ‘interest’ refers to wanting to know or learn about something. For example a contractor might express interest in bidding for a project.
However, it can also refer to the amount a debtor becomes liable to pay to a creditor over a given period of time. For more information see: Interest rates.
HM Land Registry: 1862 Act Register, glossary, published on 7 November 2014 by HM Land Registry, defines interest as: 'A term used to describe any right or title to or estate in a piece of land.’
