Top 5 ways estate agents speed up the conveyancing process

In this article, you will see that our hero CRM for estate agents, Alto, gets mentioned a few times. It’s important we explain how everything is connected.

So, we are building a network of reliable conveyancers across the UK, who adhere to strict SLAs, ensuring high performance. This network is called Movemnt.

Across Alto and other products, estate agents to housebuilders can use built-in features that allow them to refer to the Movemnt network. You will often read terms such as Alto’s conveyancing feature, powered by Movemnt, for example.

If we concentrate on the conveyancer-specific question, this is something that can be asked at the initial stage, and will allow you to inform them of potential time delays and legal complications that can arise without one in place.

At the offer stage, highlight how working with trusted, pre-approved professionals can address the issues you mentioned previously. The conveyancers you recommend through Alto’s conveyancing feature are held to strict SLAs.

Less stress for them, and less chasing for you.

By presenting two to three recommended professionals, you give clients a sense of control and choice. This approach makes them more likely to select one of your suggestions rather than seeking quotes from external sources. Ensure these providers offer a range of pricing options to cater to different budgets.

Example: “Here are three excellent conveyancers we recommend. They all have great reviews and can help speed up the process. You can choose based on who fits your budget and needs best.”

Almost one in three house sales tend to fall through, usually due to buyer indecision. And indecision can often stem from delays or things going wrong, unexpectedly.

Delays in gathering necessary documentation or conducting legal checks, especially in more complex transactions, will often be the reason for a sale collapsing. This can be down to a simple lack of responsiveness from the conveyancer, too.

Share success stories and testimonials from previous clients who have used your recommended services. This can reassure buyers that they are making the right choice by following your advice.

Example: “Many of our clients have worked with [Conveyancer Name] and have had fantastic experiences. Here’s what one of our recent buyers had to say…”

All conveyancers have reviews/ratings in Alto’s conveyancing feature, so you can utilise these too.

Utilise Alto, the conveyancing feature, as well as email templates, and automated follow-ups to keep your clients informed and engaged. Quick responses and proactive communication can make buyers feel supported and more inclined to proceed with your recommendations.

Example: “I’ve just sent you an email with the contact details of our recommended conveyancers. Let me know if you need any help reaching out to them or have any questions.”
