The Landlord & Tenant (Covenants) Act 1995: A Practical Guide
By Michael Connell
ISBN 97809553286 4 0
The Landlord & Tenant (Covenants) Act 1995 introduced a radical change in the relationship between a landlord and tenant when it was introduced in January 1996. Its provisions impact on the day to day business of professionals working across the property industry, with an understanding of the Act being a pre-requisite to providing advice to both landlords and tenants. This guide provides a detailed overview of the Act and looks at issues such as the transmission of the benefit and burden of covenants, the liability of former tenants following an assignment and the sometimes uncertain position of guarantors and sureties.
The guide is sufficiently focused so that the detailed provisions of the Act can be quickly assimilated but also contains enough detail on its complex provisions so that it can be used as a reference text. As well as being relevant to property professionals it would also be useful to students and those studying in this area.

The Law of Restrictive Covenants: A Developer’s Curse
By Andrew Lugger
ISBN 978 0 9553286 7 1
Restrictive covenants are a common problem for developers and their professional advisers. They have the potential to block an otherwise viable (and profitable) development or can require the expenditure of considerable time, effort and money to overcome. This guide covers the complex rules relating to the enforceability and interpretation of covenants, examines whether there is a requirement on the part of the covenantee to act ‘reasonably’ when giving or withholding consent and, in relation to breaches of covenant, considers when damages may be awarded instead of an injunction. In addition it looks at strategies for overcoming restrictive covenants, whether through an application to the Lands Tribunal under section 84 of the Law of Property Act 1925 or through the use by a local authority of its planning powers.
The guide is concise enough for the relevant principles to be quickly assimilated but detailed enough to be of use as a reference text. As well as being relevant to those working in the property industry it would also be useful to students and those seeking a professional qualification in this area.

Methods of Securing Development Land Overage
ByRoderick Campbell
ISBN 978 0 9553286 6 4
“Overage means simply a deferred payment agreed to be made, in addition to the basic purchase price, the amount of the additional payment (if any) being determined by a formula which depends on unpredictable future events.” While the concept of overage is relatively straightforward and easily understood ensuring satisfactory protection for the deferred payment can be anything but. This guide examines the various ways in which this can be done, both in terms of their advantages and disadvantages. These include contractual provisions, positive and restrictive covenants, mortgages and charges, ransoms, leases and options.
The guide is concise enough for the relevant principles to be quickly assimilated but detailed enough to be of use as a reference text. As well as being relevant to those working in the property industry it would also be useful to students and those seeking a professional qualification in this area.
