Launched in 2021, The British Conveyancing Awards was the first major event to recognise the role of conveyancers in the weeks and months after the property market reopened and the Stamp Duty incentives saw a boom in home moves. It introduced some never-before-seen categories including “Mental Health & Wellbeing Conveyancing Firm of the Year”, “Risen to the Challenge’ Legal Secretary” and “Risk and Compliance Champion of the Year.”

In the five years since, the awards and categories have evolved with the changes in the profession and has seen over 500 submissions reviewed by the expert judging panels, recognised 223 individuals and firms on the shortlists and crowned 75 winners.

In 2025 popular categories including “Customer Service Champions” “Conveyancing Firm of the Year” and “Best Place to Work” return alongside a handful of new for 2025 categories; “Consultant Firm of the Year”, “Conveyancer of the Year” and a split “Residential Property Team of the Year” category for Boutique and Large firms.
