Overview

A Practical Approach to Conveyancing takes a pragmatic, rather than academic, approach to conveyancing. It provides practical solutions to everyday problems encountered by conveyancing practitioners. This ninth edition contains precedent documents, clauses, and forms that provide the blueprint for highly effective procedural structures. Checklists and key point summaries have been added throughout the text to make the style more accessible. Detailed information on Home Information Packs ensures that the reader is kept up to date with this new legislation, and the text also considers the impact of the new Solicitors' Code of Conduct, due to come into force on 1 July 2007. Detailed explanations of the law are accompanied by a number of practical suggestions to help save time and money. The book has established itself as a core text on the Legal Practice Course for students wishing to have a more applied overview of property law and practice. The book is also essential reading for solicitors, their support staff, trainee solicitors, licensed conveyancers, legal executives and others involved or interested in the conveyancing process.Online Resource Centre The Online Resource Centre provides students with specimen forms, and links to useful websites, while a test bank of questions allows lecturers to test their students' understanding of the topics covered in the book. Lecturers may also access the diagrams from the book in an electronic format suitable for use in lecture slides or other teaching materials.
