Best land law student textbook
Land law is a difficult subject to get to grips with and this task can be made even harder by an unclear or imprecise textbook. I tried several textbooks before finally settling for this one, finding it easily superior to the others.

It provides the basic fundamentals of the subject in a digestible manner but without over simplifying them. The most important parts of the chapters are highlighted in bold, drawing the readers attention to them instead of endless pages of rambling text.

All of the major authorities are discussed and their significance explained in a manner that makes it easy to apply to problem or exam questions. It also includes useful diagrams to help explain the sometimes baffling complexity of leasehold and freehold covenants.

This edition contains the vitally important new Land Registration Act 2002 - and does a decent job of explaining its workings and complexities.

I would highly reccomend this book to any undergraduate students who will be taking land law.
