The A Practical Approach series is the perfect partner for practice work. Each title focuses on one field of the law and provides a comprehensive overview of the subject together with clear, practical advice and tips on issues likely to arise in practice. The books are also an excellent resource for those new to the law, where the expert overview and clear layout promotes clarity and ease of understanding. Now in its third edition, this successful text serves as an accessible guide through the complex and diverse area of commercial conveyancing and property. Practical solutions are given to many of the more commonplace difficulties encountered, together with helpful diagrams explaining some of the intricacies involved. Checklists are provided as models of procedure, and easily-followed precedent clauses and forms are supplied. This edition has been updated both to reflect the recently improved layout and style of the A Practical Approach Series, and provide comprehensive coverage of all the legislative changes to commercial property law since the publication of the last edition in June 2003. Significant changes include; the June 2004 reforms to the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 Part II; the April 2005 amendment of the 1987 Use Classes Order; the bringing into force of the Enterprise Act 2002 in September 2003; the 2004 changes to the Standard Commercial Property Conditions; and the replacement of Stamp Duty with Stamp Duty Land Tax in December 2003.
