Extensive narrative is also included which puts the Act into context and explains fully its implications for practitioners, while forms and precedents help further to increase the practical value of the title.

This title therefore covers legislation that all residential conveyancers will need to know. * Includes forms and precedents and extended narrative * Some material is reprinted from the Current Law Statutes service * Handy portable paperback format.
