Commercial Property Law

This clear and accessible book covers all aspects of commercial leases, from receipt of instructions to termination. Fully up-to-date with all recent cases relating to the lease-licence distinction, Land Registry requirements, the recent changes to the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 Pt II and the new regulations for the execution of deeds, its detailed explanation of the underlying principles of this complex area of the law - and their practical application - makes it a valuable text for all students taking undergraduate commercial property options, as well as those taking the LPC and the BVC.
