How to study for FLK2

Use closed-book rule anchors, realistic client facts, primary-classification ranges and an ethical decision check across every subject.

Core concepts

Concept 1

Analyse official copies or an epitome of title, identify defects and further action, and report clearly to the client.

Exam cue: Move chronologically from title and searches to contract, exchange, completion and post-completion.

Concept 2

Select pre-contract searches and enquiries, identify who makes them, interpret results and apply the Law Society Conveyancing Protocol where relevant.

Exam cue: Separate client duty from lender duty and identify any conflict.

Concept 3

Apply funding, mortgages, lender instructions and certificate-of-title duties alongside the buyer or seller retainer.

Concept 4

Draft and negotiate the contract, exchange with authority, complete the transfer and financial steps, register, and apply delayed-completion remedies.
