Movin Legal launches broker conveyancing course

The continuing professional development accredited conveyancing programme takes 60 minutes and explains what property searches and indemnities are required for.

It also lays out what happens behind the scenes of a property transaction – “from the moment the solicitor is instructed to the client receiving the keys to their new property”.

It is free to brokers and introducers.

Movin Legal chief executive John Ahmed says: “From the conversations we have been having with our introducers over the last 18 months it was clear that there was an appetite to learn more about what conveyancing is.

Conveyancing can be a long drawn-out process – more so since the start of the pandemic – but it doesn’t have to be.

However it’s important that introducers understand the processes involved so that they can explain clearly to their clients what is going on behind the scenes and how Movin legal can help speed up the process.

That’s one of the reasons why we have set up this CPD accredited training session – brokers and introducers need to understand how the process works. Some cases will always slide through with ease but unfortunately, others do not.

It’s normally those cases that don’t tick the right boxes that cause problems and solicitors are the one’s in the firing line. But more often than not it’s the processes behind the scenes that cause delays. I think it’s important that we can explain how this happens.”

Movin Legal key relationship director and course curator Emma Hall adds: “Longer search turn-around from local councils and the like as well as the issues revolving around working from home have thrown up many issues for solicitors, much as the latter has for introducers.

And that’s not to mention the stamp duty holiday. They have all had a mitigating impact on the conveyancing process.”

The Cheshire Money Group was one of several firms that took the course last month.

The Cheshire Money Group director Andrew Jones says: “The Movin Legal course was great in helping explain to our team how the whole conveyancing process works.

It was a great refresher for our experienced staff but also invaluable to our newer team members too.”
