The amendments include the ability to get a quote from a number of solicitors in less than 30 seconds; a reduction in the amount of page-filling in order to get a quote; automatic saving of quotes as PDF files; and online submission into the solicitor’s case management system in less than 30 seconds.
The amendments and streamlined data capture have been designed to ensure brokers and advisers are able to deliver instant quotes and costings to clients, and to help develop and increase the overall level of conveyancing business they are able to instruct.
The firm believes that this will allow the broker community an easier route to ensuring they benefit from conveyancing and the additional income stream it offers.
Harpal Singh, managing director of Broker Conveyancing, said: “These amendments have been initiated following broker feedback. To this end, we have streamlined the amount of data we require in order to deliver a speedy and efficient quote engine, allowing an almost instant display of costs. In addition, the instant PDF means that it can be saved in a more user-friendly format.”
Adviser view
David Hollingworth, head of communications at London & Country Mortgages, said: “It’s not something that we use specifically. In general, brokers are looking for ways to develop further income streams so something that adds value to customer and client will always be of interest, and the opportunity to offer a good value conveyancing offer will fall into that bracket. Brokers are looking for value for them and their clients as well as a good interface to track the case through. Quick and easy online platforms are useful.”
