Reasons to use us
We know buyers and sellers are real people with emotions, not just a reference number in a list. We will protect the estate agents brand/reputation and improve the overall experience. Resulting in good word of mouth for agents & repeat business.
In-House Conveyancing
We do not panel to external solicitors, we use a team of conveyancers dedicated to our high standards. This gives us far more control on a daily basis.
Learn More
You cannot control a conveyancing panel as case volumes are smaller and service levels vary hugely. We gain control by utilising over 60 teams within our partnership. Our clients are assured of a consistently high service level.
The conveyancing service is fully branded as LegalsReady from initial quotes through to completion but dependent on sale volumes of your estate agency we can consider a co-brand arrangement.
Choose Your Revenue
We build a £200 referral fee for each estate agent into our £595+vat legal fee to the consumer. Want more? – no problem just increase the legal fee.
Learn More
Our estate agency clients have complete flexibility and can amend quotes on a case by case basis.
Our technology platform is built with this in mind, so if you wish to increase the £200 fee per case, you simply amend the legal fee on the quote to the client and you keep the difference. Our fee does not change.
Exclusivity
Dependent on the level of sales your branch achieves per month we can look at an exclusive arrangement within your area.
Learn More
We want to build around like-minded estate agents, so we are open to flexible terms and also exclusive arrangements on set post codes.
There are a number of ways we consider exclusivity.
1. The level of sales within the set post code over the last 12 months
2. Current sales pipeline
3. We agree to reduce your referral fee but you can of course increase the legal fee pricing to the client to re-coup the revenue.
Get in contact if you wish to discuss the exclusivity opportunity.
Your Own Sales Team
Our sales team is ready and waiting to help without charge. Use us as your overflow or outsource all conveyancing prospects.
Learn More
Your choice.
1. Handle the selling of conveyancing yourselves
2. Ask us to sell on your behalf – case by case – in effect your overflow sales team
3. Ask us to sell to all buyers and sellers
We do not charge if you ask us to convert, it is all part of our service to work as a team – together.
You should aim to mention the LegalsReady service as part of your instruction sales pitch, and call when the listing goes live as this does not impact the instruction process and is the best time to convert.
The seller can of course wait and instruct us as conveyancers when the offer has been accepted and we will act swiftly but being LegalsReady will be an advantage in terms of transaction time.
Once the offer is accepted the buyer needs to be upsold the LegalsReady service to double your referral fee revenue and further expediate the sale process by having the same conveyancer – both sides.
Agent Support
We operate a 3 tier support structure that includes your Conveyancer, Conveyancer Manager and a dedicated estate agency support team.
Learn More
Tight SLA’s and expectations are managed by the estate agency team. Any issues are reported by our ticketing system and we will act quickly to solve the problem. We want to know as they happen rather than at the conclusion of the transaction.
Instruction Winner
Being able to claim you can get a sale through faster than other estate agents is a USP that can be used to boost your market appraisal conversion ratios.
Learn More
A seller instructs an estate agent due to the personality of the lister, brand, credability but also by who they believe is going to sell their home the fastest and for the highest sale price.
If you achieve all of the above but then a sale is held up due to poor conveyancers you become exposed to possible client complaints – as we all know the agents are the scapegoats in these situations!
By using LegalsReady in your lister pitches as a genuine way to save 3-4 weeks once an offer is accepted, you are positioning yourself as the lead expert who not only understands how to locate the right buyer, but also knows how to be ahead of the game and exchange quickly.
Reduce Fall Through
The legal process to conclude a transaction is broken, with buyers and sellers able to withdraw without repercussions. Get ahead of the game to reduce fall through.
Learn More
INSTANTANEOUS START – No wobbly weeks.
Almost a 3rd of sales agreed fell through in 2018. It is safe to say that the first month of the sales progression is vital.
Draft contracts are sent out within hours of the sales memo, we call the buyer for search payment on the same day to get a solid commitment early, and our LegalsReady document is available and sent to the buyers solicitor so fixtures and fittings are already completed.
By getting your seller ‘prepared’ via our LegalsReady pack you have done everything to protect your client.
Transparency
Working together means exactly that. We will keep you informed of the progress as we work through the sale transaction.
Learn More
Chasing a solicitor for updates is time consuming and can be very challenging as the client is invariably the consumer not the estate agent.
However, when you are referring cases to LegalsReady you become part of the furniture and we do not tolerate poor communication.
As a caveat, we do ask for sensible requests and daily updates are not always the best use of time, but we ensure the communication line is open and having the estate agency support team as part of the service helps hugely.
You will have full and complete access to your very own portal enabling you to track the status of each and every transaction. The Client, mortgage broker & YOU will all be linked together via our Legal’s Ready portal ensuring everybody is kept informed of progress at the exact same time and everybody involved is on the same page!
