Buying a house can be a process that is not without its complications; from previous occupants taking their light bulbs to finding dead bodies buried under the porch, there are always going to be some difficulties!
It must be the case that at some point within the conveyancing process every house buyer has prayed for an easier way, with a system to help guide them through the tangled web of property conveyancing.
Well, fear not potential house buyers, for a new online system is to be launched that is aimed at making the process of a house sale far less complicated and easier to follow.
The system is initially to be run in Bristol with a view to expanding countrywide and will allow conveyancing solicitors, buyers, sellers, and estate agents to log on to the site and check up on the details of their conveyancing process to research any delays and their causes or to leave messages for one another on its notepad facility.
A Bristol conveyancing solicitor claims that this will make things a lot easier for everybody involved in the conveyancing process, seeing as there will be direct accountability for every individual’s action, with no red tape to hide behind.
He goes on to say that every lawyer, conveyancer and estate agent will be able to check if everyone else is doing their job properly and can use the systems to keep checks on how well the process is moving along.
The project will last for six months and over 80 Bristol law firms will take part in it; the information will then be collated by the Land Registry, along with comments from everybody involved in the process to see if the project should be expanded for a nation-wide implementation.
A spokesperson for the Land Registry asserts that electronic conveyancing could be a huge step forward for the process of property selling, as it will iron out any complications that may arise through the paper conveyancing system; the benefits of such a modified system will far outweigh any potential costs and everybody’s life will be made just a little bit easier.
