Customer Reviews

Everything you need
This book is detailed without being laborious. Its sections are well-structured and easy to follow. It can be used as a reference book, or even read cover-to-cover. I really liked this book and believe it's got everything an LLB or CPE student could need when studying Land Law. I'd buy it (oops - I already did).

extremely comprehensive yet readable
Elements of Land Law is an excellent text for law students. It is extremely comprehensive, going not only through the substantive law but highlighting the many issues that do not immediately come to mind at the mention of land law, but prove to be central to our perception of the notion of property. These include environmental, human rights and even sociological and phsycological issues. Despite its intimidating girth, the book also happens to be a very good read, unlike other much drier expositions of the law. Some have called it a rather longwinded text, but for undergraduates a little explanation never hurt.

Sujjada's review on Elements of Land Law
This is a very detailed and thorough book for undergraduates. It probably contains more detail than is required for general land law knowledge, but is a great starting point for essays. It isn't the ideal book if you are looking for something succint. The language isn't particularly reader-friendly either. Nevertheless, the content is great - this book alone should be sufficient for an entire land law module at undergraduate level.
