X-Press responds to CLC concerns with new webinar

Julie Edge | 29-Aug-2024

X-Press Legal Services has released a free webinar showcasing how its innovative eAP1 dashboard, accessed via ICOS, their ordering platform, can support legal professionals through post-completion work.

This initiative comes in response to the Council for Licensed Conveyancers’ (CLC) recent emphasis on the importance of proper and prompt post-completion work.

The CLC’s 2024 Risk Agenda highlights growing concerns about the failure of some conveyancers to complete transactions diligently after taking their fees. This negligence can lead to significant risks, stress, and delays for consumers and other interested parties.

Recognising these challenges and the day-to-day pressure conveyancers are under, X-Press Legal Services’ latest webinar showcases its commitment to delivering solutions that help conveyancers stay compliant and efficient.

Lynne Lister, Managing Director of X-Press Legal Services, commented: “We understand the immense pressure that conveyancers are under, especially with the increasing scrutiny from the CLC regarding post-completion work. ICOS – is designed to support legal professionals with everything they need within a property transaction.  The eAP1 dashboard ensures all post completion documents can be completed in a timely manner. This not only helps conveyancers meet their obligations, but also provides them with the necessary evidence to demonstrate compliance should they come under CLC scrutiny.”

The free webinar is delivered by Julie Sorby, a conveyancing specialist who now works with the X-Press search team. The webinar delivers advice and guidance to professionals, providing an overview how the eAP1 dashboard streamlines post-completion processes, helps reduce errors, and ensures timely submissions to HM Land Registry.  Helping clients maintain high standards of integrity and diligence in their practice, the dashboard enables conveyancers to track and manage all elements of post-completion work from one user-friendly platform.  Products integrated into the system include SDLT and eAP1 forms.
