Conveyancing 2016

Conveyancing 2016, the eighteenth volume in the series, offers a full and authoritative account of conveyancing law and practice in Scotland during the year 2016. As usual, the coverage includes:
• all reported cases
• all statutory developments
• much other material of interest to practitioners
The authors analyse court decisions on topics as diverse as missives of sale; tenement repairs; servitudes; wayleaves; land registration; positive prescription; standard securities; the community right to buy; judicial rectification; break options; the effect of errors in notices; the application of personal bar to oral leases; tenancy deposit schemes; and special destinations.
Particular attention is given to enforcing real burdens, servitudes of parking, Keeper-induced registration, and e-conveyancing.
There is consideration of the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2016 and the Private Housing (Tenancies) (Scotland) Act 2016, and a review of the increasingly complex pattern of property taxes in Scotland with an emphasis on the additional dwelling supplement.
Written in a clear, direct style, Conveyancing 2016 is an essential guide for practitioners to this fast-moving area of law.
