Can Estate Agents FIX the Conveyancing Process? - Ep. 2148

Can Estate Agents Fix the Conveyancing Process? The key to faster completions in today’s fast-moving property market, estate agents are often left holding the bag when transactions stall. But what if you could change that? In this episode, I'm joined by the brilliant Steph Walker, boss lady of TAUK, to dive into how estate agents can take control of the conveyancing process and dramatically speed up completion times. Here’s what you’ll learn: - Why referral fees shouldn’t be your main focus: It’s not about pocketing a quick £200–£300, it’s about fostering long-term relationships with solid conveyancers. - The power of the ‘contract ready’ approach: Get your sellers' contracts sorted before listing and shave off weeks from the process. - Instructing a buyer's solicitor early: Why it can make a massive difference – even when you haven’t found the buyer yet. - The secret to cutting fall-through rates: How reservation agreements and strong sales progression teams can reduce headaches and bring in results. Steph shares practical tips on how agents can optimise the process, improve client satisfaction, and ultimately boost your chances of getting properties over the line. Don't miss this insider insight – hit play, and let’s revolutionise the way we think about conveyancing!
