Risk and Negligence in Property Transactions

Managing risk is a requirement of the SRA Handbook and quality schemes.

This unique new book examines the specific issues that may arise at different stages in the acquisition and conveyance of land. This title also identifies the problems, pitfalls and risks faced when acting for the buyer, seller and lender which may give rise to liability in negligence.

As well as covering routine matters such as compliance with Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML) conditions, the book includes chapters on discrete issues, such as options or environmental matters, which will be of particular help to non-specialist practitioners.
