Is your conveyancing
solicitor using electronic signatures?
Nine months ago HM Land
Registry decided to accept electronic signatures to allow for transfers of
ownership of property, leases and mortgages and other property dealings.
The next time you talk to
your conveyancing solicitor maybe you should check and ask them if they are
using modern technical systems to sign documents making it simpler and faster
for you and the other party in the transaction to move home.
Systems like DocuSign are
already being used widely by estate agents for short term leases and other
agreements.

We are all aware of the long
drawn out drama of the dreaded conveyancing process when we are involved in
buying or selling a property.
No longer is there an excuse
for your conveyancer or solicitor to be stuck with the old outdated paper and
ink method.
OK, there might be some of you who don't trust modern technology and not in a hurry to do anything, but I suspect you are in the minority today.
If your solicitor is still using snail mail for sending paper contracts through the postal system they are contributing to the delay.
The electronic signing of
documents could take another week or two off the already lengthy conveyancing
process.
