Conveyancing distributor conveybuddy has completed the full technology integration of panel firm Talbots Law into its platform, with the move allowing advisers to instruct cases through a fully automated process and receive real-time case updates.
The integration enables case information submitted through conveybuddy to flow directly into Talbots Law’s case management system via API technology, removing the need for duplicate data entry and providing advisers with live transaction updates throughout the conveyancing process.
Conveybuddy says advisers will benefit from richer case progress information, provider notes and automated exchange and completion notifications. Broker commission payments will also be triggered automatically once cases complete, reducing manual administration.
Talbots Law is an employee-owned practice serving Worcestershire, Shropshire, Cheshire and the West Midlands. The firm completes more than 20,000 home moves each year and provides conveyancing services to conveybuddy advisers and their clients from its Waterfront office in Brierley Hill, near Dudley.
The firm joins Advantage Property Lawyers, Chadwick Lawrence, Fidler and Pepper, Gorvins and Your Conveyancer as fully integrated panel firms. Conveybuddy says these firms now account for around 80% of all cases instructed through its platform.
The Moving Portal, the firm’s survey partner, is also fully integrated, allowing survey instructions to follow the same automated process.
Launched in 2024, conveybuddy provides a technology-enabled panel management service covering sale, purchase, remortgage, including an all-inclusive remortgage proposition, and survey cases.
Harpal Singh, chief executive at conveybuddy, said: “Technology, used correctly, can remove friction from the conveyancing process. Every time information has to be entered into multiple systems, there is an opportunity for delays, duplication and simple human error.
“By fully integrating with Talbots Law, advisers who use conveybuddy can instruct cases knowing the information flows directly into their case management system, allowing work to begin immediately without unnecessary administration.
“With this full integration of Talbots now complete, we have reached the point where around 80% of our instructed cases are handled by fully-integrated firms, which is a significant milestone for us. It demonstrates our commitment to removing unnecessary administration, improving communication and giving advisers and their clients a smoother, more transparent purchase or remortgage experience.
“We would urge all advisers to make sure they are providing conveyancing advice to their clients, not least because of the sheer number of benefits for both the advisory firm and the client base.
“It can be a significant income generator, place the adviser in a stronger client-relationship position, and ensure they retain both that client and benefit from the recommendations and referrals which should follow.
“In our view, it’s a no-brainer and we would urge advisers to contact us to see how we can support them in this key area.”
Callum Haynes, sales director at Talbots Law, said: “We are very pleased to have completed our full integration with conveybuddy. Removing manual processes benefits both our teams and adviser users by improving the speed and accuracy of information shared throughout the transaction.
“It enables us to deliver an even better experience for advisers and their clients while allowing all stakeholders to focus on progressing cases rather than carrying out unnecessary administration.”
