  • Author

Butterworths Property Law Handbook provides an invaluable collection of statutory materials for property law practitioners in a single compact volume. Major statutory reforms have occurred in this complex area of law and this new edition has been brought right up-to-date to take account of these.

What's new for this edition:

* Primary legislation enacted since the last edition including the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008
* Highlights of this act include provisions to merge the housing investment and regeneration functions of the Housing Corporation and English Partnerships in a new Homes and Communities Agency
* Secondary legislation enacted since the last edition

The Fifth edition of the Butterworths Residential Landlord and Tenant Handbook incorporates major legislative developments which have occurred since the previous edition.

The handbook is an invaluable source of reference for those practitioners, in both the public and private sectors, who deal with such issues as leasehold enfranchisement, the right to buy (and the new right to acquire for tenants of registered social landlords), assured, secure and protected tenancies, disrepair and all other areas of residential landlord and tenant law. Other professionals working in associated fields will also find this publication indispensable, as will academics and students.

What's new:

* Extensive amendments to the Housing Acts 1988 and 1985 in relation to security of tenure (by Part 3 of the Housing & Regeneration Act 2008)
* Other amendments to the 1985 Act in relation to the right to buy and other landlord and tenant matters by the 2008 Act
* Amendments to the Leasehold Reform Act 1967 by the 2008 Act
* Amendments to the Landlord and Tenant Acts 1985 and 1987 by the 2008 Act in relation to service charges and leasehold management
* Part I of the 2008 Act which introduces the Housing and Community Agency for the funding and promotion of new housing
* Part 2 of the 2008 which introduces a new system for the regulation of housing (including local authority housing)
* The homelessness provisions in the Housing Acts 1985 and the Homelessness Act 2002
* Legislation relating to Mobile Homes and Caravans
