The edition has been substantially re-structured, with much re-writing, to reflect major changes in law and practice since the last edition. There has been much revision of the text to reflect changes in practice resulting from the pre-contract deduction and investigation of title system introduced by the Law Society's Conditions of Sale 2019 Edition and Requisitions on Title (2019 Edition). The book explains the changes resulting from key legislation like the Land and Conveyancing Law Reform Act 2009 and Property Services (Regulation ) Act 2011. The book further incorporates the substantial case law since the last edition in which the text is frequently cited as authoritative.
