Abstract

Includes bibliographical references. ; The essential purpose of this study is to assess the effect of action by the State, both legislative and judicial, on the value and utilisation of land and buildings; it does not set out to provide a general statement on the principles of land economics. The boundaries of the subject matter have been established by problems arising in the professional practice of a property economist in South Africa, rather than on any a priori basis. The title "Economic and Legal Aspects of Real Estate with particular reference to South Africa", may imply a broader examination than has in fact been made. At the outset therefore it must be stated that there are other matters which might well have been embraced by such a title, but which were not objectives of this study - for example the policy of successive governments towards the utilisation of land by Non-Whites.
