Publisher's Synopsis
This title takes a modern and practical approach to the subject of land law. It helps students make sense of the whole subject, and avoids the danger of making the subject over-theoretical.;This edition has been thoroughly updated to cover the forthcoming changes to the law to be produced by the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1995, as well as changes made recently by the Landlord and Tenant (Covenants) Act 1995. The text also reflects recent developments in case-law in the area of mortgages and contracts relating to the sale of land.;The main chapters of the book giver considerable weight to practical matters, such as the acquisition of estates and interest in land, and land charge provisions. The last section discusses the more technical question of "What Is Land", by which point the student should have grasped the basic principles of land law.
