"The fourth edition of this work is, like its predecessors, an essential part of the library of all practitioners' who practice in the area of conveyancing and land transfers. It is also of great use and relevance in relation to contractual matters generally. This latest edition deals with the substantial changes wrought by the repeal of the relevant PAMDA provisions and the enactment of the Property Occupations Act 2014 and the Agents Financial Administration Act 2014. Those legislative changes have necessitated the deletion of substantial parts found in the third edition concerning warning statements. There is additional material concerning the proposed amendments to the Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act and related legislation. Numerous other pieces of legislation which have been recently enacted and which impact on land sales contracts have been considered, analysed and explained. Most importantly, this edition references the most up- to-date land contracts for residential properties. It goes without saying that the book is extremely well researched and carefully structured. The writing style is relatively uniform and always concise. It is unashamedly a practitioner's book but nevertheless complete with extensive and thoughtful analysis. As with the earlier editions it is brilliantly referenced and provides a most valuable research tool for both barristers and solicitors." -- Queensland Law Reporter. " Land Contracts in Queensland provides a thorough, user-friendly account of the law relating to buying and selling freehold land in Queensland. The authors analyse the substance of the transaction through the medium of the latest standard REIQ Residential, Commercial and Community Titles contracts, and draw on a comprehensive range of court decisions relating to the area. There are chapters covering contract formation including the role of the real estate agent, the disclosure regime for sellers and agents, subject matter, the inclusion of special conditions, risk, completion both through the paper based medium and electronic conveyancing and stamp duty and GST implications." -- Publisher's website.
