With legal technology developing at pace, Today’s Conveyancer brings all the latest innovations together in a regular round up of news, updates and upgrades for conveyancing firms.
Here, in the first of what will be a regular look at all the latest tech news and developments that impact conveyancing practice, we share the latest news from Armalytix, Silks, Credas, Aconveyancing and Veyco.
Armalytix has launched a new tool to reduce duplicaton and delays in property transaction. Armalytix Complete Compliance Bundles combine digital ID, Source of Funds, AML, fraud, and affordability checks into a single structured journey tailored to different home mover scenarios.
Designed to reduce friction, the bundles aim to streamline processes and strengthen trust across the full property transaction chain.
Built on technology designed specifically for the property sector, the platform gives firms the full, verified status of each home mover. By consolidating checks into one structured process, it enables estate agents, brokers, lenders and conveyancers to work from a consistent foundation of verified information.
Key capabilities include a single, encoded digital journey for home movers, replacing multiple forms, emails, and requests; complete compliance coverage across digital ID, Source of Funds, AML, and fraud checks; upfront data capture; and real-time visibility of compliance status across each matter.
Alex Mangan, head of sales at Armalytix, said: “Property professionals are under pressure to keep transactions moving, while home movers are often asked for the same information multiple times. That creates frustration on both sides.
“Complete Compliance is about simplifying that experience, giving firms a clearer, more structured way to verify transactions, and making the process easier for the people going through it.”
Aconveyancing’s Legal Insight Report also aims to simply the transaction process, by reviewing key property information at the start of the transaction and analysing the data to identify potential legal risks, inconsistencies and outstanding matters that could delay a sale.
The report combines information from over 300 data points, with sources including HM Land Registry title data, seller disclosure forms, EPC records, flood risk data and planning information.
The system then carries out an intelligent analysis of the information to identify where further action is needed while also cross referencing against a complexity framework.
The resulting report offers recommended actions designed to make the property legally ready to sell, and Aconveyancing’s conveyancing team proactively follows up with the seller to help resolve outstanding matters.
Legal AI platform Silks and ID verification and AML technology provider Credas have teamed up to embed trusted ID verification directly into the Silks workflow.
The platform, which was built specifically for mid-market law firms, will now offer “seamless onboarding” of clients, either by connecting an existing Credas account or adopting both solutions together for end-to-end coverage.
Silks is built around a privacy first architecture that keeps all firm and client data within each firm’s own trusted tenant and within the UK. The integration with Credas extends this commitment to compliance by embedding robust ID verification directly into Silks workflows.
Law firms can now trigger Credas identity checks at critical points in their client onboarding and matter management processes, with results feeding automatically into their compliance records without leaving the Silks environment.
“Law firms shouldn’t have to choose between adopting powerful AI and staying on top of their compliance obligations,” said Mel Kang, founder & CEO of Silks.
“Our partnership with Credas means that law firms can open and onboard clients the same day of receiving an enquiry and identity verification is no longer a separate, manual step. It’s woven into the workflow, exactly where it needs to be. And because everything stays within your own secure environment, firms can act with confidence.”
Veyco has launched what it says is the first WhatsApp AI assistant for estate agents and law firms.
Veyco Chat is live with a group of estate agents and law firms, the first to use the technology in a real-world setting.
The tool has been designed to help keep clients informed and reassured throughout the property buying and selling process, from the moment an offer is accepted through to completion.
At its core, the launch addresses a long-standing issue shared by both estate agents and conveyancers, Veyco said.
“While the legal and sales processes have evolved, the way they are communicated to clients has remained largely unchanged, leaving many buyers and sellers unsure of what is happening, when, and why.”
Accessible via WhatsApp, the assistant allows clients to ask questions and receive immediate, clear responses in plain English, either through chat or voice.
For clients of conveyancing firms, it handles common and repeat enquiries about the legal process, explaining key stages and what happens next without adding to the workload of the legal team.
Veyco Chat is available free of charge to firms already using Veyco’s AML compliance services, forming part of their existing subscription. For estate agents and law firms not yet using Veyco’s platform, Veyco Chat is available as a standalone subscription.
The assistant has been built with strict controls around data protection and professional responsibility. It is designed to provide general guidance and process-related information without exposing sensitive or transaction-specific details inappropriately, ensuring that improvements in responsiveness do not come at the expense of security or compliance.
Clare McKenna, general manager at Veyco, said: “One of the biggest challenges in property is not the legal work itself, but the communication around it. Clients often feel unsure about what is happening, while conveyancers are balancing large caseloads and constant incoming queries.
“This is about making the whole experience simpler and more transparent for everyone in the chain. By giving clients access to clear, immediate information through a channel they already use every day, we reduce uncertainty on all sides without adding pressure to the professionals managing the transaction.
“It is also an example of how AI can be applied in a way that is practical and controlled, supporting professionals rather than trying to replace them.”
Finally, the Working Day Calculator is a free tool built specifically to help conveyancers and property lawyers calculate accurate working day deadlines under UK banking and public holiday rules.
Designed to help conveyancers calculate completion notice periods, work out exchange-to-completion windows, check requisition and response deadlines and confirm notice periods, the calculator is free and requires no sign-up.
