This book will save you ££s when buying and selling a house!

'An excellent book'
The Observer

Here's the first myth this book will explode about house buying and house selling: it is in estate agents and conveyancing solicitors interests to make us all believe that only those who have gone through long, expensive and involved legal training can possibly understand the intricacies of house buying, house selling and conveyancing.

Now in its fifth edition, this bestselling book by Joseph Bradshaw, described in The Times as the 'guru of layperson conveyancing' explains just how straightforward the whole process of house buying and selling really is.

House Buying, House Selling & Conveyancing will guide you through the process of selling and buying property (whether houses or flats) inexpensively: by cutting out solicitors and estate agent middlemen.
Not only can you sell and buy a house yourself: you can do it economically and easily.

Don't believe the hype - it really isn't rocket science to sell or buy a house yourself.

The legal side of transferring a house after a house sale from one owner to another is done by filling in simple forms. We'll show you how!
And the money side of house selling (i.e. selling one house to pay for another) is a simple business transaction. We'll talk you through it step-by-simple-step.

House Buying, House Selling & Conveyancing covers everything you need to know about buying a house yourself and selling your own house. It covers every area in-depth and in simple laymen terms. Along the way the book is packed with advice and tips on every area of the process such as moneylenders, house contracts and the exchange of contracts, gazumping, gazoffing and gazundering, registered and unregistered properties, and all the insider secrets and tricks of the trade for layperson conveyancers.

If you want to save yourself ££s and buy or sell your house yourself, you need House Buying, House Selling & Conveyancing.

But don't just take our word for it:

'The guru of layperson conveyancing'
The Times

'House Buying, House Selling & Conveyancing 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 three 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!' - review from reader on amazon.co.uk.

'House Buying, House Selling & Conveyancing 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. The book illustrates beautifully that conveyancing is dead simple [...] 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 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!' - review from reader on amazon.co.uk.
