With everything that is happening currently, is investing in conveyancing software really the best thing to do right now?
With reports predicting an increase in interest rates, a slow down for conveyancers and mortgage approvals falling, is it time to pack up, go home and shut up shop?
No! Conveyancers, like you, are resilient and will get through this!
But why should you invest in conveyancing software now?
- Clients’ expectations remain high
- More time to upskill
- Cost effective
1. Clients’ expectations remain high
Perhaps your clients want the conveyancing process completed as soon as possible or perhaps your clients want to be kept up to date on the whole conveyancing process because they value transparency and responsiveness or perhaps your clients want both?
How can you deliver a fast and efficient service and have the time to give your clients exceptional customer service, which includes regular updates and constant communication?
Say hello to automation and the client portal.
Automation
Automated software allows you to work faster. Automated software can automatically fill in your legal forms, automate your workflow, automate digital onboarding, automate reminders for your clients and automate reminders for yourself. Automation enables you to not only supply a more efficient conveyancing service to your clients but also gives you more time to spend communicating with your clients.
The Client Portal
The client portal gives your client selective access to their case. It allows your clients to fill in documents online, digitally sign documents online, upload documents online, track their case online, receive updates to their phone, online, basically complete almost everything, you got it, online.
But why is giving your clients selective access to their case good?
Speed, convenience, and transparency.
By allowing your clients to fill in, digitally sign and upload documents at any time, day or night, themselves they can complete their tasks at a convenient time for them. No in-person appointment required. This means files can be ready and waiting for you, not the other way around. The client portal also permits your clients to track their case, offering a more transparent service because no one likes being kept in the dark.
The Dynamic Duo
Combine automation and the client portal together and you’ve got yourself a dynamic duo. A dynamic duo which not only speeds up the conveyancing process but also enables you to be more attentive, responsive, and transparent with your clients.
2. More time to upskill
Now might be the only time you’ve had to breathe after the pandemic’s property market boom. You may have planned to keep up to date with industry developments or upskill your staff before the pandemic, but your giant workload got in the way. Although we’re in unsettling times, now might be the time to evaluate your business and its needs.
