Publisher's Synopsis
Conveyancing can be a time-consuming, labour-intensive and perplexing area of the law. Major changes in legislation and procedure further add to the potential difficulties. This revised edition considers recent changes in practice and procedure such as: the Land Registry's move to electronic records and discharging mortgages electronically; the new Trustee Delegation Act impacting on powers of attorney; changes affecting building regulation consents; contaminated land legislation and the effect on pre-contract enquiries; proposals for commonhold and the new "seller's pack"; the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 together with proposals for E-conveyancing; changes to the Lender's Handbook; changes to pre-contract searches; and important recent cases on section 2 of the Law of Property (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1989.
