National Conveyancing Week was the brainchild of Bold Legal Group’s Rob Hailstone and is being set with David Opie of Today’s Media.

Hailstone said: “I was at the coalface of conveyancing for 30 years, from the mid-70s until 2005, and on the whole I enjoyed my work, and the relationships formed with my clients and my estate agent contacts.

“However, conveyancing has become far more challenging within the past 15 years or so. Clients are more demanding and relationships with estate agents are at times fraught, and transactions times are getting longer.

“I am hoping that National Conveyancng Week will throw some light on the issues that surround the home moving process for all involved.

“It will be an annual event and my hope is that other stakeholders in the industry will become more involved in the events of the week as it develops over the coming years.”
