Introduction

This practical 3-hour update has been designed to help high-street and mid-sized firms navigate the evolving residential property landscape. Focusing on key changes over the past 12 months, it highlights developments that are most likely to affect your day-to-day work — including some that are easily overlooked, and others with more serious implications for your responsibilities as a conveyancer.With limited time and resources, it is more important than ever to stay on top of both legal and procedural changes that could impact your transactions or expose you to risk.
