Electronic conveyancing consultation starts
A pilot will be launched in October will pave the way for compulsory e-conveyancing by 2010
The Land Registry is running a consultation to establish electronic conveyancing, as part of plans to modernise its services.
The process will run until May and will cover the secondary legislation required for e-conveyancing and the communications rules needs for electronic contracts.
A pilot service will be launched in October following the busy summer period for home sales, the introduction of Home Information Packs in June and the launch of a prototype Chain Matrix intended to provide information about each transaction in a chain and create greater transparency.
The voluntary pilot will pave the way for a changeover to compulsory e-conveyancing in 2009 or 2010.
