SOLICITOR ADVISES LAND REGISTRY ON IMPROVED SERVICE

25/09/2009

The Land Registry has called upon a Leamington solicitor to advise on a series of improvements including e-conveyancing.

Alex Khan, who works in the conveyancing department of Blythe Liggins Solicitors, was asked by the Land Registry to summit ideas to improve the current system, before being selected as one of only four solicitors from England and Wales to attend the meetings at the Land Registry’s headquarters in Chancery Lane, London.

Blythe Liggins, which ranks in the top 100 for its volume of conveyancing work, will also spearhead the new Land Registry Portal which will become compulsory next year.

“E-conveyancing will provide a more efficient and streamlined way forward. This is one of a series of initiatives by the Land Registry to improve its service and register all properties in England and Wales. The fact that we have played a part in this development, and can offer clients the new portal a year earlier before other firms, is a great feather in our cap,” said Mr Khan.
