The unit is concerned with the transfer of interests in real estate, and business and other assets, and will be primarily transaction based. There is a series of formal introductory lectures, which will cover the following areas: The searches, enquires and work to be undertaken by the solicitors for the parties prior to the formation of a contract for the sale and purchase of the subject matter; the drafting and execution of the contract documentation and the various ways in which the contract is brought into existence; the searches, enquiries and work to be undertaken by the solicitors for the parties after the contract has been brought into existence and prior to its completion (settlement); the completion of the contract, and the work to be undertaken by the solicitors for the parties after the completion of the contract.
Lectures are supplemented by written material designed to assist trainees with the transactions they are required to undertake during the unit. Throughout the unit groups and individual information sessions are conducted.
Trainees are required to completeat least two transactions involving the transfer (sale and purchase) of domestic real estate.
In each transaction, trainees are paired off. One trainee will act for the vendor, the other for the purchaser.
On regular occasions during the unit, the instructor attends the offices of the Trainees for the purposes of giving such assistance with the transactions as may be required. That assistance is given on an informal basis to individual trainees, or groups of trainees.
