The book opens with a series of shorter chapters each exploring a fundamental building block: registration; houses flats and commonholds; land, ownership and its transactional powers; social controls balanced by human rights to property; fragmentation by time (the doctrine of estates), divisions of ownership and proprietary rights. In terms of substantive chapters the book opens with discussion of the new transfer system -- paper-based transfer alongside the evolution towards electronic conveyancing -- and the consequent changes to the proof of registered titles and to the registration curtain. The new approach to adverse possession against registered titles has called for extended discussion, as has the authoritative elucidation of the concept of adverse possession in Pye. In terms of proprietary interests the fundamentals are seen as rights to transfer, beneficial interests under trusts which are overreachable, burdens which are endurable, leases, money charges such as mortgages which are redeemable, and the obligations enforcible within the neighbour principle -- easements, covenants and positive covenants being treated as a semi-coherent whole. An attempt has been made to assist students by moving some of the more arcane learning later into the book or into separate chapters where these matters might be more readily ignored by a candidate concerned primarily to prepare for an examination. \"A massive amount of research and scholarship has gone into the book, with impressive citation of cases, articles and case-notes, and of other text-books. This newcomer on the scene is a considerable addition to the ranks of serious text-books on land law and the author is to be congratulated.\" The New Law Journal \"The scope of this work is ambitious...it is a bold attempt to take the study of land law forward...much more than a basic land law text book...it would be a pleasure to be able to teach a course requiring students to cover the substance or the bulk of it whether in one or more modules. ..a difficult blend of background and history, massive referencing, discussion of statute and case law, all wrapped up in a text that is not too difficult to absorb.\" The Law Teacher \"A most interesting and ground breaking book\" Michael Cardwell, University of Leeds \"At last, a brilliant land law book! I think the approach is marvellous and will strongly recommend it to my students\" Keith Gompertz, University of Central England. \"...takes a more modern approach to the area...I am very impressed with the style, layout and format.  It will be a good teaching tool and I am looking forward to using it.\" Alison Dunn, Newcastle Law School. \"...not baffling in the way land law texts tend to be\" Helen Taylor, University of Teesside \"Excellent.\" Professor Edward Burn, City University.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49580549406993,"sku":"GOR001090238","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49611964252433,"sku":"GOR002495968","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1841133809.jpg?v=1751060492"},{"product_id":"new-land-law-book-peter-sparkes-9781841130132","title":"A New Land Law","description":"This text is designed to provide a balanced approach to the exposition of land law as it stands after the enactment of the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996 and Land Registration Act of 1997, but it is also an attempt to see how land law might look in years to come. The traditional division between registered and unregistered land ceases to be tenable when all land has to be registered after any dealing. As the opening passage of this book shows, the consequence of this is that unregistered land is, like the red squirrel, threatened with extinction. The work looks at how the two systems are designed to dovetail together. Any new approach creates some rents in the traditional ordering and terminology of a subject, but a deliberate attempt has been made to limit the restructuring so that traditionalists will still feel comfortable with what emerges. By dovetailing discussion of registered and unregistered land, the author presents a map of land law which offers to enable students to understand the realities of the subject without abandoning many of the concepts and structures with which teachers and practitioners will already be familiar.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49648107585809,"sku":"GOR002258131","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1841130133.jpg?v=1751444699"},{"product_id":"property-and-trust-law-in-england-and-wales-book-peter-sparkes-9789403511504","title":"Property and Trust Law in England and Wales","description":"\u003cp\u003eDerived from the renowned multi-volume \u003cem\u003eInternational Encyclopaedia of Law\u003c\/em\u003es, this practical analysis of the law of property in England and Wales deals with the issues related to rights and interests in all kinds of property and assets - immovable, movable, and personal property; how property rights are acquired; fiduciary mechanisms; and security considerations.

Rented housing is treated as a unified whole, with particular prominence being given to shorthold arrangements.  The book includes reference to the changes to the allocation and homelessness regimes proposed by Part II of the Homes Bill 2000.  It also considers the impact of the Human Rights Act 1998, the changes to repossession procedures implemented by the Woolf Reforms, and the year 2000 bumper crop of decisions on housing law. Leasehold tenure is undergoing dramatic changes.  The book draws a functional distinction between long residential leases and rental arrangements, based on the registrability of long leases, their freedom from rent controls and security of tenure, special controls of management and forfeiture, and enfranchisement rights. Extensive coverage is given to the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Bill 2000, introduced into the House of Lords in December 2000, and promising improvements in the enfranchisement schemes, additional management controls, and a commonhold scheme. Topics on commercial leases (business and agricultural) given special attention include the reasonable recipient principle for the construction of notices, a decision on the effect on a sub-tenant of an upwards notice to quit by his head tenant, and Law Commission proposals on the Termination of Tenancies (1999).
