  A concise, comprehensive and up-to-date account of how to acquire your own property. All the details required are here - the financial and the legal, the building societies, the estate agents, solicitors and surveyors. The author outlines the various ways of raising money and the intricacies of conveyance and explains the force (or weakness) of a deposit, the meaning of freehold and leasehold and the rights of sitting tenants. On a less legal level she urges caution about the winter aspect of houses viewed in summer and other pitfalls, and reminds the purchasers of all the arrangements to be made for moving day.
