The UK is one of the few countries in the world where home ownership
really strikes a chord with the population like no other. As the
population grows then the only way to house them is to build more new
property. This in itself has become a niche area of law. Many lawyers
shy away from it due to the time pressure often placed and different
nuances to already existing property.
This updated book provides a practical guide for practitioners on how to
approach such matters based on the writers' practical experience of
dealing with these niche areas of law and their experience from running
seminars on the topic for other lawyers across England and Wales.
Planning, new homes warranties and the now infamous Help to Buy scheme
will all be considered from a pragmatic perspective taking into account
the rapid changes in the housing market in the past few years following
the Covid 19 pandemic.
