Drawing on the authors' considerable experience in legal practice, and suitable for use on courses with either a residential or a commercial conveyancing focus, the book combines lively and accessible explanations of often complex processes with highly practical guidance on how to approach each stage of a conveyancing transation in practice.

The pragmatic nature of the book is enhanced through the use of realistic case studies throughout, fully supported by online sample documentation, introducing the reader to the forms and documents likely to be encountered in practice and encouraging students to develop the essential practical skills they will rely on throughout their legal career.

Diagrams, flowcharts and examples are used to clearly highlight and explain complex legal processes while summaries of key points, located at the end of chapters, provide a useful checklist of salient points covered in each topic. Professional conduct points are highlighted throughout equipping the reader with a sound understanding of the common pitfalls which should be avoided in practice.

Additional study is also provided by self-test and short revision questions, located at the end of chapters and clearly divided into residential and commercial conveyancing, offering the reader the perfect opportunity to test their understanding of a topic and identify any gaps in learning where further study is required. Lists of further reading and links to other sources of further information available online is also contained at the end of chapters enabling further independent exploration of the subject area.
