This updated edition provides an introduction to the law of property. It serves as a comprehensive guide to the basic concepts and principles of the subject, placing in context legislation which students may be required to study in detail. Written in a concise style, the text provides an overview of the law of property for students with little experience of the subject, and also serves as a valuable summary of the law for those with more knowledge.

The 4th edition has been completely rewritten to reflect the nature of recent developments in property law, and the changing perspectives of the authors. It covers a wide range of topics including concepts of property, estates, Torrens legislation, mortgages, leases, freehold covenants and indigenous land rights. This work places case materials in a broader context to assist assimilation, and to deepen understanding of the case law.
