Customer Reviews

A detailed & quite easy to read book
I found this book detailed to the extent that I needed for studying for my law exams. It gave quite a few examples of how the writing in the text would apply/has applied to a real situation. It clarified many aspects of Land Law I was not sure about. When I was not sure about a meaning of a legal term, the book would clarify everything within minutes. It's a good reference book as well and the writing is in good, clear english. I recommend it.

Butterworths core test on land law (2nd series)
Really good book and I found it easy to understand and it made land law as entertaining as it could be. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone doing a land law module!!!

Wonderful Book
I brought this book when I was studying land law last year when at the time I was probably going to get a 3rd in the unit because I found all other land law books so difficult to understand.

This book is simplified but with enough depth to cover it perfectly and it demonstrates case law and statutory authority very clearly. I read this a month before my exam and went up two grades as I suddenly understood everything.

This book is honestly one of the best law books I have ever read, and the chapters are so well structured that they even demonstrate to you how best to view that legal problems, which is very good for problems and essay questions.

If I were to start my course again I would but this book and read it before lectures as you can't get anything clearer.
