Format:Paperback
This guide is written for lay people and will safely take you through a step by step process to buy and/or sell your house without using a solicitor. We have used it on 3 occasions saving both time and money and most important of all - it gives you control of the situation... no more waiting for people to come off the golf course and no more wondering if you are at the bottom of someone's in-tray. Examples of any forms you will need are included in the book, and it is easy to obtain what you need when you need it. The first house we sold was in 1982, using Joseph Bradshaw's original version. We recently obtained an updated copy (Lawpack publishing) and found it to be even easier to use. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Bradshaw's "Buying & Selling (Conveyancing for All)" covers all of the major areas and issues which are involved when buying and selling your own home, with the single objective of minimising the cost of middlemen. To Bradshaw, middlemen include anybody who is neither the buyer nor the seller, including all known lawyers, estate agents and even surveyors.
The book illustrates beautifully that conveyancing is dead simple. There is no need to study rocket science: all that is required is the patience to fill in a few forms. Oh, and the confidence to talk to your vendor/buyer. You have to do these things whether or not you appoint a solicitor. So what are you paying a solicitor for?
With websites, such as ,.., offering "private sale" facilities, it is becoming easier to remove the cost of useless agents and greedy lawyers, to the benefit of anybody involved in conveyancing.
I wholeheartedly recommend this book. I shall certainly be following it!
(This review is based upon the 1989 edition of the book. The topic will change over time, due to changes in regulation, hence the need to be up to date.)

I have just completed my first purchase with the assistance of this book. It's not the easiest thing to follow, but everything you need to know is in here. Avoid other books pretending to help, I also bought Frances James "The process of conveyancing" and the Alan Stewart "Guide to conveyancing residential property". In both cases the sleeve notes describe the book as a solution for those wishing to DIY conveyancing then open with warnings that the book is not a replacement for solicitors.

Tries to be two witty which makes it hard to read
The technical content is in there, but it is hard to find by index. Bradshaw tries to make a technical subject accessible to non-legal people but (speaking for myself, at least)... Read more

Beat the solicitors
Very helpful even if you dont do your own conveyancing it will at least give you help in what is needed and you can be one step ahead of the legal mire. This book saved me £400.

Nice style but poor structure...
Whilst this book was written in an interesting tone with a few jokes and light hearted moments along the way I finished it slightly confused about the process. Read more
