Property Law

Property law is the area of law that governs the various forms of ownership in immovable property (real estate or real property, and the associated rights and obligations thereon) and in personal property, within the common law legal system.

Property law requires a thorough understanding of various aspects of our law including land registration and conveyancing, leases, servitudes, construction law, town planning, insolvency, finance and financing structures, mortgage and other securities, company law, the law of contract, and taxation.
