Customer Reviews

A really useful set of check lists only marred by the layout of book
This is very typical Silverman.

Totally comprehensive (well almost)and very authoritive.

It is a really good set of check lists only marred by the layout of the book. As with her Conveyancing Handbook it really works for those who work with it on a regular basis but not ideally arranged for us lesser mortals who dip into conveyancing once in a while. That said, I would not do conveyancing with out the benefit of them making sure no stone is left unturned, no form or procedure forgotten.
