Best of Mainly for Students

This second edition of the Best of Mainly for Students follows the success of the first volume published in 1993. It covers a period of just over five years, from 1993 to 1998, and comprises over 70 articles of relevance to all property practitioners. The extensive scope of topics reflects the range of more than 20 contributors from both practice and academia, including surveyors, barristers, economists, planners and property researchers. Extracts are contained within sections on Construction, Estate Management, Economics, Professional Skills, Planning and the Environment, Surveying, Valuation, Commercial Law, Procedure and Evidence, Property Law and the English Legal System, each providing a valuable source of information for students and practitioners alike. The content reflects the shifting technical needs of the modern property professional which include, for example, an increasing reliance on growth explicit methods of valuation and a greater emphasis on environmental issues, as well as the more traditional skills such as building construction and property inspection. It is a book which is intended as a work of reference. As such, each article seeks to provide information in a clear, concise and easily digestible form, often as a starting point for further research. Much of this material is not normally included in the standard texts and should be seen as a valuable supplement to other sources of information.Askham, Phil is the author of 'Best of Mainly for Students ', published 1999 under ISBN 9780728203174 and ISBN 0728203170.
