The British Conveyancing Awards, sponsored by Groundsure, returns in March 2027 to recognise and celebrate excellence across the conveyancing profession. The awards invites firms, businesses and individuals to submit for scrutiny, a detailed breakdown of how and why they could be considered when benchmarked against peers.
Entry for the awards, priced at £169 +VAT, is open now with firms able to enter up to three categories per entry. A single category entry rate of £89 +VAT is also available.
The criteria against which all entries are judged is available on the British Conveyancing Awards website; with a judging panel of industry experts tasked with reviewing and scrutinising each and every entry before arriving at the finalists and overall winners.
The criteria points have been iterated over the lifetime of the awards programme explains David Opie, managing director of Today’s Media, publishers of Today’s Conveyancer and organisers of the British Conveyancing Awards. Constantly tweaked to ensure they are reflective and representative of conveyancing, and conveyancers, in 2027.
Enter The British Conveyancing Awards 2027.
In 2027 the British Conveyancing Awards celebrates ‘the people behind the process’ – recognising the real people behind every property transaction as the sector increasingly evolves and moves towards digitalisation.
Categories including Legal Executive of the Year and One to Watch Conveyancer of the Year recognise conveyancing is a department-wide endeavour, with specific roles for individuals working on transactions.
Newly curated categories capture the growing role of self-employed consultants in the Consultant Solicitor of the Year category, and firms who introduce successful recruitment and retention policies and support staff in new and innovative ways in the People & Culture Champions category.
In response to the government’s home buying and selling reform programmes, the Excellence in Client Onboarding category recognises the suppliers working with conveyancers to introduce more information at the outset of the transaction and move toward instruction at the point of a property being listed.
After a successful stint in Manchester, the awards moves to Birmingham and will be hosted at the Vox on 18th March 2027. Entry is open now until 30th November, with final submissions due a week later on 7th December.
Previewing the 2027 event and commenting on their own involvement as Headline Sponsor again Groundsure CEO Malcolm Smith said: “We are incredibly proud and excited to once again be the headline sponsor of the British Conveyancing Awards.
“Groundsure has always championed the legal conveyancing sector, and this event is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the hard work, dedication and successes of everyone who practises in the industry. We’re also really looking forward to seeing how the ceremony evolves at its new home, The Vox in Birmingham, and can’t wait to celebrate with everyone on the day.”
