2nd Edition, March 2015

Since the first edition of Property Insolvency there have been significant changes in property enforcement (including the introduction of CRAR), restructuring of many national insolvent retail chains and the unprecedented rise of fixed charge receiverships.

The new edition includes coverage of:

  • The rapid growth of mortgage default, fixed charge receivership together with the enforcement of collateral security (including personal guarantees)
