The company behind estate agent conference and awards event EA Masters has launched a complementary Best Conveyancer Guide awards.
Leaders.inc, which founded EA Masters and the Best Estate Agent Guide in 2017, has added the Best Conveyancer Guide to its repertoire, with the aim of highlighting best practice and performance in the conveyancing sector in England and Wales.
The guide and awards work hand-in-hand; the guide is compiled from an analysis of data from 3900 conveyancing firms, carried out by property data company TwentyConvey. The awards are given to the conveyancers who feature in the guide: 5% of the conveyancers analysed are graded with a gold award, with a further 5% graded with a silver award.
The guide publishes details of the 405 conveyancers with the highest scores from the data analysis, divided into small (fewer than 150 completions per year), medium (fewer than 500 completions per year), large (more than 1,250 completions per year) and national (firms that operate without geographic boundaries and complete on more than 1,251 transactions per year) categories.
The conveyancer with the highest scoring analysis in each size band will be announced at the EA Masters event on 3rd November.
The independent analysis is based on data from firms that completed a residential home purchase transaction in the last year in England and Wales, taken under licence from the Land Registry’s ‘price paid’ dataset and record of every conveyancing company that completes the AP1 form in England and Wales. Data assessed includes time to complete, time to post completion submissions, requisitions and change in market share.
Joanna Knight OBE, CEO of Leaders.inc, explained: “The insight from the data helps conveyancing firms understand their competitive position and where they sit in a pecking order geographically, so they can improve their performance and see how they compare to other law firms.
“Our awards data shows that some conveyancing firms are already implementing the measures the government is recommending in its official roadmap, such as using early adoption of smart tech and digital onboarding, working with their estate agency partners to improve the customer journey.”
Richard Hinton, author at TwentyConvey, added: “The home mover has been starved of any clear objective insight into the conveyancing profession, since day zero. We analyse cold, hard data for the Best Conveyancer Guide award, assessing those companies worthy of an award, looking at an average across a whole year of a conveyancing firm’s cases to provide a more accurate picture of how a firm is actually performing.”
The EA Masters annual conference and awards will be hosted at Evolution London, Battersea on 3rd November. The Best Conveyancer Guide will be published on 4th November 2026. The shortlist is available now at www.bestconveyancerguide.co.uk.
