Housing Law Casebook (6th Edition) free

A solid resource is key to a Solicitor and case-worker. While we may love to reference case law we remember it’s always useful to have a star in your corner. When I started Housing Law I was heavily reliant on the first edition of Housing Law Casebook (not showing my age – just had an old book!).

During my resource hunt I noted the 6th Edition had been out for a while – with a typically average price tag (however pleased to see it’s on kindle as well now).

Hard copy available on Amazon

The book has been described as:

Adviser
‘worth its weight in gold!’

Roof
‘a vital reference book’

Justice of the Peace
‘an indispensable point of first reference’

Law Society Gazette
‘an excellent addition to any legal practitioner’s library’

Civil Justice Quarterly
‘an immensely important book for practitioners’

The only downside I see is that you cannot see the recent updates in a tab or page so it’s hard to track down recent case law.

However, this is a great resource while it’s still around for free and if useful – purchase it!
