Practical Guide to Land Law by Rajasingam Gothandapani | 2026*

“This volume succeeds admirably in bridging the gap between legal doctrine and professional practice. It does not merely restate the law. Rather, it explains the underlying principles, analyses the relevant authorities and, perhaps most importantly, guides readers through the practical realities encountered in land transactions and disputes.”

From the Foreword by

Dato’ Seri Vazeer Alam Mydin Meera

Judge of the Federal Court of Malaysia

The complexities of land law, together with its interaction with areas such as trust and equity, have long presented challenges for real estate law practitioners. These challenges are further compounded by the fragmented administration of Malaysia’s land law system, making the resolution of land-related matters one of the more complex and time-intensive aspects of legal practice.

This book provides a practical and accessible reference for navigating the relationship between land law principles and their application in practice. It explains the fundamental concepts of land law while offering practical guidance on a broad range of real estate matters. Key areas covered include dealings and registration of land transactions, leases and tenancies, caveats, charges securing banking facilities, compulsory acquisition, strata titles, and the management and maintenance of strata properties.

Written by experienced practitioners with extensive knowledge of real-world issues in real estate practice, the book brings together essential principles of land law and practical solutions to common legal problems. It is a valuable resource for practitioners dealing with day-to-day land matters, as well as judges determining land law disputes.
