In this Conveyancing Matters chat, Lorraine and Stu talk to property expert, podcaster and presenter, Charlie Lamdin

This is a wide-ranging chat in which Charlie shares his insights on the state of the property market. He makes some really interesting points and of course, is controversial at times!

Charlie says that the property industry is lagging behind in terms of tech – do you agree?

In this Conveyancing Matters chat, Lorraine and Stu talk about some interesting research that has recently been issued by Lloyds. The headline coming from it is that only 13% of first time buyers 'fully understand' the conveyancing process.

But is the real number likely to be even this high?

Stu and Lorraine suggest that our regulators should be doing more to support conveyancing clients and the lawyers that they regulate to help the public understand the importance of what we do.

What is your experience? How well do your clients understand the conveyancing process?

In this Conveyancing Matters chat, Lorraine and Stu weigh in on a topic that has had a lot of press lately - the demise of 'Dear Sirs'

Lorraine and Stu's views are shaped by their own experience of being in legal practice for many years - what is your view?

Is the demise of 'Dear Sirs' an important issue for practitioners or a storm in a teacup?

In this Conveyancing Matters chat, Lorraine and Stu talk about the government's recent bombshell announcement that the legal regulators, including the SRA and CLC, are going to lose their AML oversight function. This will be passed to the FCA, although no timeframe has yet been given.

The announcement seemed to take the SRA by surprise - what is your view? Long overdue or an accident waiting to happen?
