It is a widely held fallacy that conveyancing is easy and routine and that anyone can do it. While the basics of buying and selling land can be quickly understood by any intelligent person, there are a host of pitfalls awaiting the careless or unwary practitioner. The fields of leasing, securities and easements are still more specialised.

This book will give some valuable insights to law clerks, legal executives, property managers and others starting their careers in areas related to real property law and the creation of legal rights in real property. It will also be useful in settling disputes between conveyancers, and to people interested in real estate generally.
