  Since publication of the 10th edition, the law of conveyancing has continued to grow in volume and complexity. The legal framework has been transformed by the implementation of new regulations on stamp duty land tax, money laundering, business tenancies, and commonhold. Conveyancing practice must evolve to accommodate these new rules and regulations and the changing economic climate. The Law Society has responded with significant revisions to the Introduction and Referral Code, a fifth edition of the Law Society's National Conveyancing Protocol, new editions of the TransAction forms, and new editions of the Standard Conditions of Sale and Standard Commercial Property Conditions. This annual Handbook continues to support conveyancers by providing a vast amount of practical, reliable and up-to-date information written by experts in conveyancing practice, land registration, and leasehold matters.
