Understand the foundations of English land law and how ownership has shaped property today.

This authoritative volume traces the evolution of title, estates, and the rules that govern real property, from feudal tenure to modern conveyancing. It explains how ownership has long been a matter of tenure, the rise of equity, and the practical mechanics of mortgages and registration.

Designed for students, professionals, and curious readers, the book combines historical context with clear explanations of key concepts. It covers the major forms of tenure, the rights and duties of holders, and the way legal and equitable interests interact. You’ll see how ancient rules influence modern practice, including how mortgages are structured and redeemed, what constitutes a marketable title, and how the law handles title transfer and registration.
