Conveyancing is designed for those studying applied land law on the Irish Professional Practice Course. In two volumes, the revised edition has expanded chapters on new houses, and conveyancing and taxation, with an emphasis on recent developments in case law to guide students through current conveyancing procedure. In particular, the manual is designed to familiarize apprentices with the steps and standard documentation used in residential conveyancing transactions, however, there is also a section on ethics and undertakings emphasising its importance for the trainee solicitor.
