Searches UK leads the market into the new generation of conveyancing

Searches UK is renowned in the conveyancing industry for the products and services it offers, alongside its dedication to outstanding customer service.

Now Searches UK is also becoming acclaimed for its embrace of advancing technology, both through its online ordering platforms and through ancillary industry products, while growing and reacting effectively to market changes.

It is a longstanding reality within the legal industry that conveyancing is the largest practice area of risk within a law firm. Searches UK is all too aware of the pressures put on today's conveyancers to work diligently to ensure that they are offering products and services which will help them to provide a quality service to their clients in addition to minimising risk on case files.

Searches UK prides itself on its intuitive online ordering system, which has been developed to recognise over 15 hazard areas on properties that may not have been obvious to the conveyancer or buyer from the outset. The software includes multi-hazard warnings when processing searches, flagging up potential risks to a property and highlighting relevant searches the conveyancer may wish to order to help them to collate the data they need to adequately report back to the client.

Digital expansion

With the new generation of buyers and sellers demanding a more internet-based service, Searches UK has adapted to make its products easily accessible through an online ordering system and mobile apps, and further to provide a revolutionary online referral and quotation platform to conveyancers, allowing them to grow seamlessly with the next generation. Being able to communicate with referrers and clients at the press of a button means more time can be spent on case files, which will undoubtedly help conveyancers secure more business in the future.

Lisa Summerton, the sales and marketing director at Searches UK, commented: 'It is important for us to stay ahead of the market, and with the growing influence of digital technology and the younger generation of first-time buyers emerging, we are keen to expand our services into the digital space. Our online ordering system is definitely one of the easiest and more informative in the market. We are also proud to offer an app for solicitors and conveyancers which enables them to access our products and services on the move.'

Searches UK, having an in-depth knowledge and true understanding of the property market and conveyancing process, fully appreciates that it is a more costly affair for first-time buyers nowadays and the outlay is far greater, which is why it was the first search provider to look to offer a range of products to protect the buyer's money. The search and buyer protect schemes from Searches UK still remain the strongest in the market and are revolutionary products that will cover certain out of pocket expenses should the transaction fail to complete.

Accurate searches

Recent government reports on fracking suggest that house prices could be affected by up to 7 per cent, therefore working with intellectual search platforms and specialist search companies is imperative to ensure conveyancers are supplying their clients with accurate, authentic information from the beginning of a transaction, enabling clients to make informed decisions based on the facts.

Searches UK takes its risk and compliance procedures extremely seriously, making sure all areas of risk and compliance are covered with in-depth procedures, training, and additional measures taken to ensure all areas are covered. This year marks the fourth consecutive year of Searches UK gaining Legal Eye accreditation for its high standards of risk and compliance.

Lisa Summerton added: 'It is our highest priority to ensure our clients are receiving factual, authentic reports for their clients, supplied by our online ordering platform and the search specialists we work alongside. We pride ourselves on the accuracy of our searches, and having hazard reports built into our software means we can supply our clients with even more information on the property.'
