Wontner's Guide to Land Registry Practice is a practical 'how-to' guide to the law of land registration, providing a thorough explanation of all day-to-day aspects of land registration practice and procedure. Since the enforcement of the Land Registration Act in October 2003, practice and procedures have been further developed and refined and stamp duty land tax and commonhold have been introduced. There is also a new Fee Order.

This new edition has been designed to explain these changes, as well as to cover the experience of the Act in operation.
