Synopsis

Successive governments in Britain have made owning a property ever easier and lenders have been positively generous in advancing mortgage funds - but at a price. This work is aimed at homeowners, and provides a guide through the many legal aspects of purchasing, owning and running a home. Given that a home will be the one of, if not the, most expensive purchase of most people's lives, a working knowledge of the law as it affects the average person is critical. The easy-to-understand style of this text makes it extremely accessible and it contains a glossary of the legal terms used within the book. Key areas covered include: property ownership; buying a house (and selling); insurance; building, improving and extending your property; the utilities; renting out your home; dealing with the neighbours; dealing with tradesmen/consumer law; home security; a second home/timeshare; and financial problems.
