Because property law is a complex mixture of common law and statutory principles, all property lawyers and property litigation lawyers need a good understanding of the legislation.  Fortunately, instead of trying to remember all of them, Butterworths Property Law Handbook pulls together all of the important rules in one handy volume.

Edited by two experienced property litigation barristers, Butterworths Property Law Handbook includes the mainstream pieces of legislation including the Land Registration Act 2002 and the Land Registration Rules 2003.  It also impressively includes extracts from more specialist, but important, pieces of ancillary legislation like the Charging Orders Act 1979.

Like many of its sister publications, Butterworths Property Law Handbook is separated into two sections: legislation and statutory instruments.  Each section also has a coloured edge meaning the different sections can be quickly found.  Another aid to navigation is that each provision (not just each piece of legislation) includes a unique paragraph number.

Anyone looking for a one volume collection of property law legislation need look no further than Butterworths Property Law Handbook.  In particular, the legislation is extremely well selected.  These excellent features, together with its price, mean that Butterworths Property Law Handbook should remain close to hand for both experienced and inexperienced practitioners.
