A Practical Approach to Conveyancing (Practical Approach 2007-2008)

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, which came into force on July 1, 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 lawyers, their support staff, trainees, licensed conveyancers, legal executives and others involved or interested in the conveyancing process.

Lecturers may also access the diagrams from the book in an electronic format suitable for use in lecture slides or other teaching materials.
