Lifetime Legal and ONP Solicitors have launched a partnership that aims to speed up property transactions and reduce paperwork by sharing essential information and removing the need for customers to duplicate communications.
The partnership will see Lifetime Legal, which supports estate agents with over 15,000 transactions every month, share information including AML verification, TA forms, HMLR title information and property searches with ONP.
ONP Solicitors’ systems will be fully integrated into the Lifetime Legal platform – which in turn links to estate agency software Reapit and Street – to give real-time updates to agents and customers and provide greater transparency throughout the transaction.
The AML and title checks conducted by Lifetime Legal for estate agents will be available to ONP Solicitors when they are instructed to act as conveyancers, along with the Material Information and TA forms.
‘By working together and sharing key information from the outset, Lifetime Legal and ONP Solicitors are delivering a solution that benefits all parties involved,’ a Lifetime Legal statement said. ‘The goal is to reduce friction in the home moving process, reduce duplication of cost and process, improve communication, and shorten transaction times. For clients, this means a faster, less stressful journey to completion.’
Rob Sendall, CEO of Lifetime Legal, commented:
“This partnership demonstrates what’s possible when the industry works together from the start, reducing inefficiencies, speeding up transactions and creating a better experience for everyone involved. We’re delighted to be working with ONP Solicitors, a firm that shares our commitment to client care, innovation, and practical solutions. We’re excited to expand our conveyancing proposition together.”
Sharon Beedham, relationship director at ONP Solicitors, said:
“We’re delighted to join the Lifetime Legal Conveyancing panel and to deepen our relationship with Lifetime Legal. This partnership is all about bringing together our shared values of innovation, transparency, and customer-first thinking. We’re drawing on ONP Solicitors’ proven track record of tech-enabled, personal legal service to deliver faster, smoother transactions that really work for buyers and sellers alike.”

OMG! What a terribly sad day for people trying to buy houses.
Companies like this should be next in line for a Panorama expose. The stories I can tell from my dealings with one of them!!
Two of the worse names in the conveyancing business join up – whoop whoop
ONP pleased to join the panel. Sounds like fluff to me. CQS rules are clear on AML. Reapit conveyancing updates are nothing new either. Just a greedy panel manager paying estate agents £450 ref fees and charging the customer another £240 for membership and their own services that add little value. £690 extra for what?
Today’s Conveyancer covering this like it’s a new ground breaking idea, when actually it’s the same middle con man company that’s been going since the late 90s just in about its 3rd iteration. Main aim, to make estate agents more money by slashing the lawyers fees and charging the customers a premium for stuff they don’t need. The main reason for this new partnership is probably because Lifetime Legal can’t find any lawyers that can afford to work for their fees, exactly what happened with Live and Enact and MHM & PPL. Yawn yawn
That man has had more come back attempts that Status Quo.
Oh mega lol- here we go again
