Letters when the rules change

What has changed since the book was printed

One letter for the countries you follow — when something changes, at most once a month. If nothing changes, you get nothing.

New court decisions that matter to a buyer: court, case number, date, and what happened.

Law changes: which text, which article, the date it takes effect.

Fresh figures, with the sample and the day counted.

Corrections: anything we got wrong, and what to read instead.

Date An example, not a real letter

Hello,

here is the format: one item for each country you follow, each with its source and the chapter it belongs to.

AmericaA figure
Roughly one approved purchase loan in twelve never draws the money at all.
The book, chapter 26.
BritainFrom the adverts
Not one pub advert in sixty-seven says the pub is tied.
The book, chapter 4b.
FranceA figure
Across 2023–2025, 91,907 sales of businesses were published with a price and a known trade, counted from the official bulletin of legal notices.
The book, appendix A.
ItalyA case from the book
In Cremona a buyer paid €25,000 for a bar at a notary’s office; by the day to take it over, the lease had already ended.
The book, chapter 5.
SpainThe law
A rent increase written into Spanish law adds 42 % to the purchase price in the worked example.
The book, chapter 5.

That is all for now. If nothing changes next month, you will not hear from me.
