Description:This book is a comprehensive survey of modern housing law, an area which is clearly growing in importance and is becoming increasingly liable to change as a result of statutory intervention. This was reflected by the recent Housing Act 1996, which this book covers. The book takes a wide approach to housing law and includes, for instance, a look at owner occupiers and their financial problems as well as covering inadequate mortgage valuation reports from surveyors. It includes a large amount of cases and materials, and these are set in the context of substantial comment and analysis. This book is designed to be used not only by students of housing law, but also as a useful reference tool for professionals in the housing market.
