As part of its commitment to helping conveyancers stay ahead of the competition, reduce costs, improve efficiencies and profitability, LawNet has launched a new arrangement with search specialists STL.
When asked ‘Why STL?’, Helen Hamilton-Shaw, Director of Services at LawNet said, “Because their aims and ethos closely match our own and we believe they can really help our members to achieve what we all have to if we’re to survive in the current market.
“STL is clearly committed to the highest industry and professional standards, quality, best practice, risk management and consumer protection. As a one-stop-shop, they provide everything our members need to support their conveyancing due diligence requirements. They offer a comprehensive range of searches and indemnities, together with innovative risk management solutions such as TitleChecker and LawyerChecker. And by accessing STL services through LawNet, our firms also have access to competitive and cost-effective pricing, often at preferential rates.”
Alan Thorogood, Chief Executive of STL commented, “We are delighted to be a search supplier for LawNet and have worked closely to understand the needs of its members both now and in the future.
“Following a joint survey in 2012, we developed our services to meet what LawNet members said were of particular importance. We focused on the questions their clients frequently ask and provided the answers and information they want including jointly-branded consumer-facing literature, wording for client care letters around searches, flood and environmental risk and surveys, and a Plain English summary for buyers within our regulated local authority searches. Members can now provide this information to their clients up front, reducing the number of queries and allowing conveyancers to focus on the job at hand.
“We also ensure that LawNet members are in control and have the choice and flexibility they want, whether that relates to preferred order and delivery methods, the range, type or particular brand of searches they want, or tailored services.”
