Description

The law of collective living concerns the legal relationships between people as owners or occupiers of property when they live in physical or legal proximity to one another. In recent years, events such as the leasehold mis-selling scandal have uncovered a number of issues involving leaseholds, ground rent, retirement properties and park homes.

The Law of Collective Living: A Practitioner's Guide takes a unique approach as it joins together the links between the common problems with shared amenity freeholds, leaseholds and park homes, providing a solution based perspective. By putting the focus on practical issues and their resolution, the book aims not only to help practitioners solve them but also to highlight some of the anomalies that exist.

It brings together the law, or lack of, surrounding tenure, ownership and management and discusses their unique issues, as well as their remedies, jurisdiction and enforcement.

This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Property and Land Law online service.
