A Bill to establish minimum standards regarding searches and assessments of risk for solicitors and licensed conveyancers acting on behalf of purchasers of residential properties; and for connected purposes.
House of Commons
4 May 2021
The Conveyancing Standards Bill would require a minimum set of searches and risk assessments to be carried out by solicitors and licensed conveyancers when they act for people buying a home. It aims to make the conveyancing process more consistent and safer for buyers by ensuring key checks are completed early in the purchase, and it allows for related provisions to support these standards.
