Following established procedures and identifying and acting upon areas of concern at the appropriate time is essential for efficient conveyancing. Using checklists is one reliable method a firm can employ to ensure the necessary procedures are followed and to reduce exposure to potential risk.

This comprehensive book of checklists is organised to follow standard conveyancing transactions from taking instructions to post-completion. The detailed lists provide a guide to every step a practitioner typically needs to follow and a CD-ROM allows each checklist to be customised for individual firms.

Includes useful and practical features:-

• a CD-ROM to enable fast and flexible access to customisable checklists
• specimen standard letters that can be easily customised
• tables of fees, facts and figures for everyday use.
