Index

With the introduction of a new Conveyancing Protocol, a radical new set of Conditions of Sale, along with important legislative and case law developments since the publication of the last edition, this established text has been extensively revised to ensure that the fourth edition is completely up to date.

This is probably the best conveyancing textbook available. Matters are dealt with chronologically as they are likely to arise in a normal conveyance.
