The Property Transaction Guide
£9.99£14.99
Buying your first home? Selling to fund your next move? Confused by searches, leases, or exchange and completion? This handbook gives you the legal knowledge to move through your transaction with confidence.
Dr Jennifer Obaseki, a multi-award winning lawyer, wrote this handbook to take you through every stage of conveyancing in plain English, backed by real case law and real case studies of buyers who got it right, and buyers who paid the price for skipping steps.
Inside, you get:
3 landmark property law cases explained in plain English, covering misrepresentation, restrictive covenants, and easements
2 real case studies: a buyer who saved £40,000 with a proper survey, and a buyer caught out by a short lease
A full breakdown of freehold and leasehold, including the 2024 leasehold reform changes
A complete guide to searches: what your local authority search and environmental search reveal, and why they matter
A 14-point property purchase checklist covering mortgage to post-completion registration
A ready-to-use complaint letter template for when your solicitor gets it wrong
A 7-step action plan from finding a solicitor to confirming registration at HM Land Registry
Your home is your biggest transaction. This handbook makes sure you understand every step of it.

I skipped the structural survey on my first house because the mortgage valuation seemed enough. After reading this, I commissioned one on my second purchase. It found a drainage issue and saved me thousands in repairs.
