520			_aSuggests that governments have consistently neglected real estate, and highlights some of the needs of the industry that should be addressed by the next government. Recommends that policy for developing housing on brownfield sites be vigorously pursued, and investments by public-private partnerships courted. Also argues that a reforming statute to streamline landlord and tenant law is needed. Moreover, calls for a simplification of the law of forfeiture, and also easements, covenants and encumbrances. Recommends the seller's pack be abandoned and efforts to streamline conveyancing focused instead on setting up of a national system of electronic searches and e-conveyancing. Finally discusses taxation policy, criticising stamp duty and noting the detrimental effect it has on entrepreneurial and economic growth.
