Summary

Conveyancing is designed for trainee solicitors studying applied land law on the Professional Practice Course in Ireland and will also be of benefit to practitioners.

A new sample Contract for Sale is also included in this edition. The principles of conveyancing practice are clearly explained, making the book an essential reference for both trainees and practitioners in the field.
