NLJ this week: Conveyancing timesavers

193092

Without the right systems in place, conveyancing can be a time-consuming & risky process, writes Louise Edwardes, Head of Product at InfoTrack, in this week’s NLJ

Townsend suggests some conveyancing timesavers. For example, while single point solutions were useful in the ‘early days’ of conveyancing tech, firms should now consider ‘solutions that focus on managing entire sections of the conveyancing process, or even better, digitising the process with an end-to-end solution’. She explains how to achieve this, and more, in this article.

She writes: ‘It’s why connecting the dots can relieve much of the high-risk administrative burden, providing a better experience for conveyancers and their clients.’

Detection, investigation and prosecution all require improvement, while different fraud types demand tailored responses.
