E-conveyancing: solicitors deploy a rapid response unit
Series: Estates Gazette ; (0302) 11 January 2003, 90-91(2)Publication details: 2003Subject(s): Summary: Looks at the expansion of a Glasgow-based private property search company into England at the end of 2002 as an example of the gathering momentum of e-conveyancing. OneSearch has a 50% share of Scotland's residential conveyancing market, undertaking 400 000 searches since the company's inception in 1992. It will compete very strongly with the government's favoured system - the National Land Information Service - although it is currently constrained by the fact that 30% of mortgage lenders refuse to recognise searches carried out by private search companies. Discusses whether or not e-conveyancing will make sellers' packs redundant.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Barcode | |
