What is a Licensed conveyancer?
In 1985 the Government passed a law to end solicitors’ monopoly in conveyancing. The profession of Licensed Conveyancers was created and rules drawn up to ensure that all members of this profession conform to the highest standards of care and efficiency. A statutory body, The Council for Licensed Conveyancers, was created and rules laid down to protect the public. All Licensed Conveyancers must have indemnity insurance to protect the public against any errors or omissions and they must contribute to a compensation fund to ensure that funds are available in the event of any default. A Licensed Conveyancer will have many years of experience in conveyancing and will have passed examinations at or above law degree standard.
