Contributors to the site

There are two new contributors to the site. Professor James Driscoll, consultant solicitor at Trowers and Hamlins, who will be providing content on commonhold and enfranchisement; and Nigel Clayton, barrister at Kings Chambers, who will be providing update information on mortgages. Both are well known and expert practitioners in their respective fields and I am delighted to have their assistance.
