 Rating:  - One of the few books with real informationThere are plenty of books out there with a basic overview of the house buying process but few with any level of detail. This book has a good level of detail while still being an easy read. It doesn't cover complex conveyancing but I would not expect expect a consumer book to do so. Rating: - Just what you need to save solicitors costsI 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. Rating:  - Good, but only up to a point !The author details with all the essentials of the buying and selling process in a very readable and interesting way; giving good hypothetical situations (Mr Feather, et al.) of a typical purchasing process (and the not so typical). The only real weakness of this book is in its somewhat idealistic approach with regard to the willingness of solicitors to deal with 'lay persons' and their unwillingness to accept undertakings from them which would normally be given by a solicitor. During the sale of my house, I had to engage a solicitor for the completion stages due to the Law Society sewing up the system so that solicitors aren't obliged to accept the word and undertaking of lay persons. Puts a bit of a spanner in the works - and adds to the cost ! Rating: - It Should Be HelpfulAs a reader who really likes any type of manual on virtually any technical subject, I found this rather a boring read on an even more boring subject. While I don't doubt the author's advice should enable most folk to do the job themselves, this book didn't make me want to do my own conveyancing. Only for the committed, I would suggest. My copy remains on the shelf, unfinished. Rating: - Jargon-free, clearly explained, easy to use, practical guideThis 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!
