National Conveyancing Week will take place this year, between 20th March and 24th March 2023.
National Conveyancing Week has been launched by Bold Legal Group founder and CEO Rob Hailstone to raise the profile and understanding of the important role conveyancers play in the home moving process.
Hailstone said: “Conveyancing is on the whole largely misunderstood by much of the other moving parts of the home moving process. Yes, there are some who deserve their reputation, but for the most part conveyancers are hard-working, diligent and caring people who want only to help their clients achieve their dream home move.”
“Given the volatile and at times vitriolic nature of the relationship, particularly between estate agents and conveyancers, it feels important to try and foster greater engagement and understanding between the two parties.”
National Conveyancing Week will host a series of on-demand, virtual and live events designed to “inform; educate; assist; motivate; reassure; help recruit new entrants; improve the profile of conveyancers and conveyancing; and ensure fees can be set at and kept at an acceptable level”.
The agenda will focus on a number of key themes and speakers throughout the week designed to bring the home moving industry together; including collaboration, recruitment and retention, lender updates and training (including an introduction to conveyancing session designed to myth bust for those not directly involved in conveyancing).
One of the highlights of the week will be a Conveyancing Foundation Coffee Morning at which conveyancers are being encouraged to throw open their doors and invite referrers, mortgage brokers and estate agents in to the office to show them more about what they do. The morning will be in aid of the Conveyancing Foundation which has raised nearly £1m for good causes to date.
Importantly National Conveyancing Week is completely free to all those who wish to engage with it, with the organisers keen to point to the commercial supporters who have provided both their backing and financial support.
Hailstone added: “We are incredibly grateful to our commercial supporters who have thrown their weight behind this not because they anticipate a commercial gain, but because the home moving profession/industry is our livelihoods, puts a roof over our heads and food on our tables.”
