Description
Residential Conveyancing applies a practical approach to a
range of residential conveyancing topics, including regulation and taxation,
the contract for sale and deducing title in unregistered and registered land.
The book also discusses capacity to sell, planning issues and a number of more
complex points arising in relation to pre-contract searches and exchange of
contracts.
The book also describes acting on a sale of part and the
purchase of a new-build property, as well as other conveyancing transactions
including probate sales and deeds of easement. HM Land Registry restrictions
and requisitions are also covered.
The book is supported by a number of activities and links to
practice which reflect the author's wide-ranging experience in conveyancing
practice.
Residential Conveyancing is the recommended textbook for the
CILEX Professional Stage Residential Conveyancing module, but it will also
provide invaluable guidance for law students and junior conveyancers who are
seeking to develop and update their practical and commercial skills in this
area.
