Textbook on Land Law guides students through the principles of contemporary land law from a practical perspective. It focuses on the modern law, confining discussion of historical developments to the minimum, necessary to understand basic principles and concentrate on the law as it is now.
The book is consistently recommended to students for its accuracy and ease of use. It is written in a direct and informal style, explaining the law in non-technical language and warning of possible misunderstandings and confusions. Rules are illustrated by reference to real-life situations in a fictitious town, bringing the subject to life and enhancing the reader's understanding of problem areas. Useful features include a glossary, sample documents and further reading references.
The unique and straightforward approach taken by the authors has established Textbook on Land Law as the ultimate practical land law book and makes the subject interesting and accessible.

Review:
Review from previous edition MacKenzie and Phillips make use of a 'rolling' example based upon a fictitious street, 'Trant Way', which provides a contextual reference point for the reader... This book does this so well that it stands out from others within the market place."
