Written by a leading set of barristers, Falcon Chambers, Fisher and Lightwood's Law of Mortgages is both a thorough and clear account of the important principles of mortgage law.  It is unique in its coverage; covering fifty-six chapters which are separated into nine parts.  Impressively, Fisher and Lightwood's Law of Mortgages covers issues which extend beyond those typically considered including the important effect of charging orders.

Like Kim Lewison says in the foreword, Fisher and Lightwood's Law of Mortgages surpasses the high standards of previous editions.  It is impressively written with the practitioner in mind meaning the commentary is both relevant and to the point.  Its layout and format is clear and readable meaning it is useful to students.  In this area of important law, readers need look no further than Fisher and Lightwood's Law of Mortgages.
