Richard Webster & Co, a solicitors in Hampshire who specialise in residential and commercial conveyancing, have responded to news that the Conveyancing Association have released a new best practice guide.

The guide, launched at the beginning of the month, has been created in an effort to better communication lines between estate agents and conveyancers, speeding up transactions and offering buyers and sellers access to superior services.

The guide was sparked by the results of a Conveyancing Association poll, which discovered that almost half (47%) of all buyers believes communication between parties could have been handled better. Additionally, the poll also highlighted that 64% of house-buyers reported difficulties, including delays, when making transactions.

Chairman of the Conveyancing Association, Eddie Goldsmith, said: “We know that many estate agents and Conveyancing Association members already have effective working practices and, since the results of the consumer survey, would like to share and develop these practices for the benefit of the membership and their estate agent contacts. This will ultimately improve the home owner experience.

“Whilst not a mandatory guide, it brings together what the Conveyancing Association believes is a sensible and measured approach in helping to improve communications for the benefit of all concerned.”

Managing director for the National Association of Estate Agents, Mark Hayward, added: “I would like to congratulate the CA on its work to develop this very useful guide and commend the work that it does in representing the sector.”

Richard Webster, a solicitors who specialise in conveyancing, often share their thoughts on related industry news and research. They believe the new guide will help buyers to receive a more hassle-free service.

A representative for Richard Webster said: “The newly released guide will go a long way towards helping buyers and sellers to initiate and complete conveyancing transactions. It will be a great help for conveyancers, estate agents and solicitors too, helping to make transactions much faster and leading to much better services for buyers.

“As a leading provider of residential and commercial conveyancing services, we believe the Conveyancing Association guide, while not mandatory, will be greatly appreciated by all parties.”
