" Which?" Way to
Buy, Own and Sell a Flat: The Legal, Practical and
Financial Aspects of Flat-ownership (Which? Consumer
Guides) by Michael Haley
Buying a flat is a popular
alternative to buying a house, especially for those
entering the property market for the first time. However,
the process is far from straightforward and is quite
different from house-buying. Then, once you have bought
your flat, you may find your problems are just
beginning... This new edition of "Which? Way to Buy, Own
and Sell a Flat" alerts you to potential pitfalls. It also
examines the rights and responsibilities of flat-owners,
particularly with respect to service charges and the
landlord-tenant relationship. A typical lease is looked at
in detail, and the intricacies of leasehold ownership are
explained. The book also: covers collective
enfranchisement and a tenant's right to buy a new lease;
suggests what to do if things go wrong; and contains a
glossary to make sense of the notoriously complex legal
terms. This handbook should arm you with the knowledge you
need to make buying, owning or selling a flat plain
sailing.

Dynamics of
Property Location - Value and the Factors Which Drive the
Location of Shops, Offices and Other Land Uses by
Russell Schiller Why is
property located where it is and how has this process
changed in recent years? A number of factors such as
social change and technological development, have affected
location and these are considered. Value, the way changing
patterns are measured, is examined and there is a
discussion of rent contours. The book considers location
in the retail industry, looking at the theory, hierarchy,
clustering and dispersal. The move to out of town sites,
with its three waves of decentralisation, is described.
Central place theory, dating from the 1930's, is
discounted as being obsolete and misleading. Finally the
book covers offices, industrial and residential property.
