Europe is developing as a market in terms of land through continental and cross-border transactions, the migration of people from one country to another and the rapid rise in the purchase of second homes. Developing a thorough knowledge and understanding of land law, which underpins so many of these transactions, is therefore vital for professionals working in related fields.
