The Edinburgh Solicitor Property Centre (ESPC), the leading property marketing company in East Central Scotland, in partnership with BDP Software for Estate Agencies, is celebrating having reached a major milestone in the development of its new e-conveyancing service, ‘Central Conveyancing’, the first of its kind in Scotland.
The online system has been developed in response to enquiries from ESPC solicitors with the aim of significantly speeding up the conveyancing process as well providing an easily accessible and transparent electronic track record for all parties involved.
Earlier this year, live testing of the online system, in tandem with the offline process, returned significant positive feedback from solicitor members; as a result the system is now set to be rolled out to a wider ESPC audience to continue beta testing. This further testing will allow for a fully-developed platform to be available nationally in the near future.
Chief Executive of ESPC Paul Hilton said:
“We have now reached a major milestone for our e-conveyancing system which could potentially change the landscape of the Scottish conveyancing process. We are delighted with the positive response from our members who are keen to be involved with the final development stages and to go on to use the system as part of their daily business process.
“The system we’ve created offers an unrivalled level of capability. Not only has it been carefully designed to be user friendly, it has the ability to greatly improve risk management assuring all parties a secure and supported experience.
“Our commitment to improving the efficiency of the conveyancing process extends beyond our members and we look forward to working with the other SPC’s across Scotland and conveyancers to allow them to benefit from this intuitive online system improving the process for all parties involved in the sale of a property.”
‘Conveyancing Central’ will create a system whereby as soon as a property is marketed a new case will be automatically created alleviating the need for double keying information. Once a buyer is found all key stakeholders will have access to the case including purchasing and selling solicitors, the home seller and buyer and their legal search providers.
