What Can Go Wrong During Conveyancing? – How Can We Help?
25 January 2022

When it comes to the conveyancing process, there are a number of things that can go wrong. However, there are things that can be done to limit the risk of encountering problems. Choosing a reliable legal software that caters to your needs and increases the speed and efficiency of the process is key.

How Redbrick Practice Management Can Help You To Make The Conveyancing Process More Efficient.

Ensuring All Paperwork Is Signed In A Timely Manner

When going through the processes of both buying and selling properties, it is important to ensure that you enlist in a conveyancing solicitor as soon as the offer has been accepted. Buying and selling can be a lengthy process, due to the fact that there is a large amount of complicated paperwork to be completed by a number of different parties. Due to this, the sooner you can get the ball rolling, the better.

When it comes to buying and selling properties, there is often a lot of paperwork to be signed by all parties. When you factor in the prospect of sending and receiving physical documents by post or having to have clients commute to the office to sign paperwork in person, it can become an exceptionally time-consuming process. Here at Red Brick Solutions, our software can help to eradicate this concern by allowing the client, solicitor or any other party to sign the necessary documents electronically.

This secure service is powered by our secure document portal, which requires all parties to log on using secure two-factor authentication. You, the law firm, will be responsible for choosing which documents your client can and can’t access at any particular time.

Offering your clients the option of electronic signatures is more convenient for all parties and will allow you to work more efficiently, which in turn will help you to win more work.

The Seller Accepts A Higher Offer

One frustrating issue which can arise throughout the conveyancing process is that, until contracts have been exchanged and all documents are signed, there is always a chance of the seller accepting a higher offer. To avoid this, it’s important to proceed with the buying process as quickly as possible. You can help your client to achieve this by ensuring paperwork is sent out and signed quickly and efficiently and, with the help of a system like ours, this can all be achieved digitally. This may mean that the seller will accept the lower offer for convenience.

Buyer And Seller Conflict

Once the offer has been formally accepted, it is then for the conveyancing solicitors on each side to bring all of the necessary legal processes, part of which involves exchanging letters that essentially agree on the terms of the sale. If any of the conditions can not be agreed on, it is then the role of the solicitors on each side to negotiate. This is why it is vitally important to choose a solicitor who understands your requirements and who you ultimately trust.

Once the offer has been accepted, it is then important that you efficiently handle any of the correspondence between both the buyer and seller and negotiate in the event of any disagreements. Our system can help you to make this process as smooth as possible, with fantastic Outlook integration.  Outbound emails can be sent, with attachments automatically converted into pdfs, to either single or multiple contacts.
