A Practical Guide To Residential Freehold Conveyancing

'A Practical Guide to Residential Freehold Conveyancing' has been written by Lorraine Richardson, an experienced property solicitor and legal trainer. This is a book which is a handy reference guide for anyone carrying out conveyancing work - or doing exams on the subject. The book covers how to draft a contract of sale, investigation of registered title, pre-contract searches and when to do them and preparing for completion. Lorraine brings her 30 years of experience to the book to highlight the key risks, including money laundering and cybercrime. 'I want to explain to readers in an unfussy way why they take the key steps in a freehold conveyancing transaction and how to deal with some of the key pitfalls that conveyancers come across. Conveyancing is all risk these days, so hopefully this book will help firms and their staff manage that risk more effectively. The book will also help those doing conveyancing exams - it is a subject that only becomes clear once someone has the whole picture of the process.' The Conveyancing Companion Series This Practical Guide is the second in a series of books that Lorraine is writing on a wide range of topics on the conveyancing process. The books are aimed at practitioners working in busy conveyancing departments who need a quick reference guide, but will also support those taking professional examinations such as the Solicitors Qualifying Examination, Cilex and Council for Licensed Conveyancers.
