Practical Approach to Conveyancing 12e

Written by two leading authorities in the area with over 50 years' combined experience of legal practice, A Practical Approach to Conveyancing continues to provide a detailed, yet accessible, exposition of the key principles and procedures governing conveyancing transactions. Combining coverage of both residential and commercial conveyancing, the book guides the reader through the various stages of a typical conveyancing transaction and provides highly practical guidance on each stage, from first receiving instructions and undertaking pre-contract searches and enquiries right through to completion, enabling the reader to approach all aspects of a conveyancing transaction with confidence in practice. The pragmatic nature of the book is enhanced by the inclusion of relevant sample documentation, clauses and forms throughout ensuring that the reader is familiar with the documentation they will encounter in practice whilst key point summaries and practical checklists provide additional learning support and can be used to identify quickly the essential points relating to individual subject areas. Now in its twelfth edition, the book has firmly established itself as a core text on the Legal Practice Course for those seeking to provide their students with a highly practical and applied overview of property law and practice. This classic text is also essential reading for anyone involved in the conveyancing process, including trainee and qualified solicitors, legal executives and licensed conveyancers. Unlike many law books, you can almost read it 'straight off' without falling asleep or becoming excessively confused! Roger Buston, Property in Practice1. Introduction; 2.
