The conveyancing protocol – what’s changing?

The Law Society is consulting on an update to the Conveyancing Protocol. Some of the changes propose:

• A tightening of provisions relating to additional enquiries
• Updates to reflect the way in which the TA6 should be utilised
• Guidance on responsibility for documents such as Planning Consents
• A recognition of digital practices
• Strengthening guidance on client and source of funds checks
• Changes in respect of leasehold transactions

In this webinar David Keighley, who is a member of the Law Society committee which drafted the changes, will consider the key aspects in respect of both the proposed changes and the consultation process.
