It's all about stability

26 Oct 2015Feature

With the conveyancing marketing continually changing, and the number of transactions rising, the need for a reliable and stable search service is greater than ever

The conveyancing market is continually evolving and changing, something that Searches UK is all too aware of.

Mergers and acquisitions are commonplace in the conveyancing industry; however, Searches UK understands the importance for solicitors and conveyancers of working with a search company that provides an excellent service coupled with a reliable and stable experience throughout your client's property transactions.

Searches UK provides a free conveyancing quotation system, which generates professional, branded quotes in minutes. The system can help solicitors and conveyancers to grow their conveyancing volumes, improve customer delivery, and save time and money. Key stages and milestones, online real-time updates, and detailed conveyancing quotes are also features of this platform.

Solicitors and conveyancers working with Searches UK can easily connect with agents, intermediaries, and clients to enhance customer service and secure more business through Quick Quote.

Lisa Summerton, the sales and marketing director at Searches UK, commented: 'We are truly committed to our clients and work incredibly hard to ensure they are completely satisfied. The service we provide is flexible and we are more than happy to work with our clients so they receive the very best service.'

If you'd like to work with a search provider that understands your needs and tailors its service to each client, look no further than Searches UK. The company offers competitively priced searches and bundles, and works closely with third-party specialists such as Groundsure, Landmark, Future Climate Info, Lawyer Checker, water companies, and many more.

Lawyer Checker, for example, can be ordered from Searches UK and allows solicitors and conveyancers to check the previous use of client accounts to which they are sending funds to better assess the risk associated with the transaction - enabling firms to combat the risk of vendor fraud.

Searches UK also includes anti-money laundering ID checks in its portfolio of products, which helps to verify your clients quickly and easily. These checks interrogate a multitude of electronic data sets for international and domestic members of the public to clearly identify whether the person is who they say they are.

Its skilled search agents also work on behalf of Searches UK to provide their expert opinions on Searches UK's regulated (personal) local authority searches.

Recently the property market has hit its highest point in over 18 months. Searches UK actively embraces the current market and remains one of the strongest search providers in the industry.

With the number of transactions rising, and the time pressures put on solicitors and conveyancers by clients and other members in a chain increasing, it is vital to work with a search provider that can meet and exceed those expectations, return accurate searches, and help with risk management.

Risk and compliance is an extremely important area for solicitors and conveyancers in the property industry, which is why Searches UK has appointed a dedicated member of the team to help with all queries relating to this topic. Assistance with Conveyancing Quality Scheme applications and Lexcel accreditations is available in addition to a wealth of material to improve practices and processes.
