Conveyancing Practice in Scotland is the only comprehensive practical guide to managing conveyancing transactions in Scotland.

Encompassing both commercial and residential conveyancing, this text covers the property law aspects as well as the practical and ethical considerations of acting in a conveyancing transaction, such as anti-money laundering procedures and conflicts of interest. Standard missive clauses are examined in detail with reference to their application in practice.

- Transformation of the land registration process - Digital Submission Service and Register Land and Property
- The Register of Persons Holding a Controlled Interest in Land

- Practice in electronic signing, and electronic registration

- The effect on practice of the Register of Overseas Entities

- Ongoing land reform

- Proposals for reform of tenement law

- Proposals for reform of heritable securities

- Updates on case law and legislation

This is an essential guide for both commercial and residential property lawyers, property law students and paralegals.
