Property Law Handbook Ninth edition

Butterworths Property Law Handbook is an indispensable reference source of statutory materials relating to property law in England and Wales. It is an essential companion for all practitioners advising on property law and those studying this field.

All the key Acts and Statutory Instruments in this practice area are reproduced as amended, including the following legislation which is new to this edition:

• Perpetuities and Accumulations Act 2009
• Relevant provisions of the Coroners and Justice Act 2009, relating to the law on treasure
• Provisions of the Equality Act 2010 which affect premises and the accompanying Equality Act 2010 (Disability) Regulations 2010
• Mortgage Repossessions (Protection of Tenants etc) Act 2010 and the accompanying Dwelling Houses (Execution of Possession Orders by Mortgagees) Regulations 2010
• Tribunal Procedure (Upper Tribunal) (Lands Chamber) Rules 2010

This handbook follows the standard Butterworths Handbooks style, with amendments made by new legislation incorporated into the text of existing legislation.

The Notes which follow a provision detail the changes that have been made to the text and list any prospective amendments.

In the text: 

• an ellipsis ( . . . ) indicates that text has been repealed or revoked (or is outside the scope of this Handbook);
• square brackets denote text that has been inserted or substituted;
• italicised text is prospectively repealed or substituted, or repealed subject to savings.

We are keen to ensure that the Handbook remains of relevance to those who practise and study property law.
