The Law Society of England and Wales is keen to remind readers that it has agreed a joint initiative with Teal Legal to host an exclusive online seminar for estate agents, focusing on the latest developments in property transactions.
The Seminar, which was initially announced on 18 June, will be run by Sally Holdway, director at Teal Legal, who will be joined by two members of The Law Society’s conveyancing committee, Mark Sellers and Sarah Dwight. The course will provide an update on the material information requirements and how these present an opportunity for closer collaboration between estate agents and solicitors.
It will include a deeper dive into some of the more practical elements which are arising as the new requirements start to bed in. These will include:
+ The overlap between ‘Material Information’ and ‘Conveyancing Information’
+ How solicitors can support agents in obtaining and verifying material information
+ How the conveyancing TA forms can be used for material information purposes
+ Earlier instruction of solicitors and how this works in practice, and
+ Emerging legal pre-offer services solicitors can provide, such as title fix services.
Sally Holdway, CEO of Teal Legal, said: “We’re delighted to support The Law Society in developing this training for estate agents. The new Material Information requirements have prompted many practical questions on how to implement the changes smoothly and effectively and this seminar looks to bridge the gap between legal requirements and practical implementation.”
Registration: The session will take place on 31 July and estate agents interested in attending can register their interest here.
