Full Description
Applied Real Estate Law and Practice present a systematic and in-depth discussion of real property law, with insights into contractual, tortious, and proprietary issues in property transactions. It covers the fundamental legal concepts that govern contract and tort for real property land ownership, property rights, leasing, conveyancing, mortgages, and resolution of disputes while incorporating practical guidance on professional duty, managing risk, and complying with industry standards.
This new authoritative text that clearly defines real estate law and applies it to practical situations fills a gap by laying out the principal legal concepts in a logical sequence and demonstrating their application in practice through case studies, professional scenarios, and real property disputes. It includes features such as: Reflective Commentaries, Discussion Questions, Self-Assessment Quizzes, Chapter Summaries and Practitioner Insights. By combining legal acumen with professional understanding, the book empowers readers with a pragmatic grasp of the way legal systems affect the property business so that they can navigate deals with confidence, minimize risks, and maintain ethical standards in their work.
Unlike other legal publications that focus on doctrine or fragmented aspects of property law, this new textbook integrates legal ideas with the everyday reality faced by real property professionals, ranging from surveyors and property managers to valuers, estate agents, and legal professionals. It is an ideal textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate students on RICS and CIOB-accredited built environment programmes, and early-career professionals preparing for APC and CPD.
