Ready to be used as a stand-alone resource on all land law courses the authors combine stimulating commentary and well-chosen materials to present the subject in an interesting and dynamic way. Covering all core aspects of land law including legal estates, legal interests, equitable interests, interests in the home, leases, easements, covenants and security interests in land, the book provides students with the detailed knowledge and analytical tools required to understand and engage fully with the current topical debates surrounding the subject. The book is accompanied by an Online Resource Centre offering detailed updates to the law following publication, useful weblinks, multiple choice questions with answers and feedback, and guidance on answering end-of-chapter questions.
