Description of A Practical Approach to Conveyancing

- Key point summaries and practical checklists highlight the most relevant and important points, ensuring students can quickly reference key information during their course and when revising.

- Precedent documents, clauses and forms emphasise to students the practical nature of conveyancing, ensuring that students are fully prepared for the everyday procedures and problems they may encounter as practitioners.

- The detailed approach taken by the authors offers a more applied overview of property law, ensuring that this title is an essential tool for qualified solicitors, trainee solicitors and others involved in the conveyancing process.

- An Online Resource Centre offers valuable support to students by providing additional information on commercial conveyancing, specimen forms and links to other useful web sites. A test bank of questions allows lecturers to test their students' understanding, and ensures that they can clarify any areas where students might be struggling.

New to this edition:

- Coverage of key recent developments has been added to the eighth edition: Home Information Packs, the impact of the Civil Partnership Act 2004, Land Registry compulsory prescribed lease clauses, the impact of Bowman v Fells in relation to reporting suspected money laundering, and the increased use of electronic searches and electronic applications to the Land Registry are all considered.

- An increased page size makes the book more user-friendly and allows room for students to write their own notes in the margin of the text.

- A new paragraph numbering system ensures that lecturers can highlight easily the paragraphs of most relevance to their students and enables students to quickly reference the key topics

- An increased number of headings has been inserted into Chapter 5 on Deduction and Investigation of Title in order to better distinguish between coverage of registered and unregistered land

- Increased coverage of VAT

- The entire text has been revised to reduce references to 'historical' procedures and statutes, making the eighth edition more sharply focused on the requirements of today's LPC students and practitioners
