The Law Society's Conveyancing Handbook presents the latest guidance on good practice in residential conveyancing and is a crucial resource for answering queries arising from day-to-day transactions. It is revised annually by a team of experts, directed by an editorial board and edited by Frances Silverman.

The 24th edition includes:
* a new chapter on conveyancing of shared ownership property
* a new chapter on Annual Tax on Enveloped Dwellings (ATED)
* the new third edition of the Standard Commercial Property Conditions
* The Law Society's Model Property Report and Consumer Lease Report.

These developments and many more are considered within a chronological account of conveyancing transactions of residential freehold and leasehold property, supported by:

* an introductory section addressing a wide range of preliminary concerns, from advertising to VAT
* procedural checklists for each major stage of the transaction
* comprehensive reference material in the appendix, including all relevant practice notes.

These features have made the Conveyancing Handbook a trusted first port of call for thousands of practitioners.
