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.
