5 Common Conveyancing Assumptions Clients Make - Live at Your Desk

Introduction

Clients often make wrong assumptions and think everything is risk free.

Conveyancers assume they have covered it in their reports, but the message doesn’t get through. The result is complaints and claims.

This virtual classroom seminar will take a detailed look into 5 common assumptions in conveyancing and how you can clear these assumptions up with your clients.

What You Will Learn

• How to comply with your new obligations under the Insurance Directive, when it is and is not a good idea, what to look out for in policies and what to tell the client
