Reviews

"Andrew Francis has a relaxed and readable style, and within a relatively short book there is a great deal of information"
PLANNING

"Andrew Francis's excellent Restrictive Covenants and Freehold Land - A Practitioner's Guide ... An area of law described on the dust jacket as "very complex" ... desperately needs a book like this ... Marvellous"
