In today’s blog post, we will be delving beyond the books to provide you with practical insights into property practice that will not only help you excel in the exam but also in your future career as a solicitor.
Understanding the SQE Exam
Before we dive into the practical insights, let’s take a moment to understand what the SQE exam entails. The Solicitors Qualifying Exam (SQE) is a two-part assessment that all aspiring solicitors in England and Wales need to pass in order to qualify as solicitors. SQE 1 focuses on the foundational legal knowledge, while SQE 2 tests the practical legal skills.
One of the key areas covered in both SQE 1 and SQE 2 is property law. It is essential for you to have a solid understanding of property law principles, as well as how to apply them in practical scenarios. Our team at SQE Property Law & Land Law has years of experience in teaching and practicing property law, and we are here to share our insights with you.
Practical Insights into Property Practice
