HM Land Registry has published a list of common errors by conveyancers in a bid to cut requisition rates—formal requests for information—and speed up the process
The mistakes include poorly scanned documents, incomplete identity evidence and name discrepancies.
The Land Registry says conveyancers have improved in recent years—20% of conveyancers now have an avoidable requisition rate under 1%, compared with 17% a year ago.
Sheila Kumar, chief executive of the Council for Licensed Conveyancers, said: ‘Timely and high quality title applications are the vital final step in conveyancing, protecting clients and lenders.’
