Standard Conditions of Sale: A Conveyancer's Guide

This popular and well-established work guides the reader through the requirements for a legally binding contract for the sale of land in England and Wales and provides a detailed commentary on the Standard Conditions of Sale, which normally forms the basis of the contract. Written by a leading author in this subject, this new edition provides clear and comprehensive commentary on the Law Society's fourth edition of the "Standard Conditions", the second edition of the "Standard Commercial Property Conditions" and the newly created "Common Auction Conditions" for use in property auction sales, the latter being published by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. Also included is a new section on Commonhold and appropriate comments on the Home Information pack, due to be implemented in June 2007. This book will prove an invaluable guide for Conveyancers and Property lawyers.
