The British Conveyancing Awards 2026

Finalists for the British Conveyancing Awards 2026 announced

The finalists for the British Conveyancing Awards 2026, sponsored by Groundsure, have been published this morning, with 61 different organisations recognised for their commitment to excellence and client service. The winners will be announced live at a gala dinner hosted at the iconic Manchester Cathedral on 12 March. 

The awards were first hosted as a virtual event in 2021 and have since become one of the mainstays of the legal calendar. The stringent criteria and extensive evidence required for submissions sets a high bar for entry, and a wholly independent judging panel scrutinises every submission. In an effort to continually improve the judging the process, alongside the expert panel, organiser Today’s Media has engaged property analysts TwentyConvey to provide objective data for the judging process, scoring firms on their performance against industry benchmarks for speed, administrative efficiency and accuracy.

With the independent judging panel, stringent criteria and reliance on evidence, the British Conveyancing Awards are the standard-setter when it comes to recognising the success of individuals, firms and businesses in the conveyancing sector up and down the country.

Catherine Shiers, customer engagement director at Groundsure, said:

“A huge congratulations to all of this year’s finalists at the British Conveyancing Awards. Making the shortlist is no small feat and is a clear reflection of the innovation, expertise and commitment across the industry.

“We look forward to welcoming you to Manchester to celebrate your success and recognise the outstanding performances of the past year. It promises to be a memorable evening honouring the very best in conveyancing.”

Jon CulshawEarlier this month, Today’s Media, the publisher of Today’s Conveyancer, announced actor, impressionist and comedian Jon Culshaw (pictured right) will host the festivities.
