Real Estate Management Law

Now in its seventh edition, and 31st year, Real Estate Management Law has been revitalised to maintain its position as the leading textbook for students of real estate management, and related subjects. Written with these courses firmly in mind, and featuring up-to-date case law and coverage of new legislation, this new edition also features increased coverage of both land law and landlord and tenant law, as well as a fully updated section on planning law. The introduction of chapter overviews, key points, and self-test and scenario questions throughout the text, makes this book more readable and all-inclusive than ever before.
