What we do
Conveyancing is broken.
It takes 30 weeks to sell a property in the UK in 2024. This is awfully long for a world where stocks trade in milliseconds, new trainers arrive in hours, and even used car sales zip by in days.
Things aren’t much rosier elsewhere: Spain and Italy can take up to 5 months, while Canada and France average around 4 months.
What’s going on?
Different markets, same problems
What this means for you
- Just when you’re gearing up to celebrate, unexpected findings, missing documents, and red tape suddenly derail everything. Your agreed offer has a 1-in-3 chance of falling through, putting you right back at square one.
- Agents, lawyers, mortgage brokers, and lenders all have conflicting priorities, turning your transaction into a tug-of-war where everyone points fingers while you, the star of the show, are left in the dark, waiting. It’s chaos without an overall plan and a captain steering the ship.
- Don’t be misled: you may be the client, but solicitors answer only to themselves. If you’re unhappy with their service, changing firms halfway is not an option — no one wants to start over or pay pointless charges. You’re at their mercy, unsure of their competence or commitment. After all, they are the experts — your transaction moves forward at their discretion.
Conveyancing, the smarter way
Let’s face it: consumers lack the industry knowledge to identify a good solicitor. Reviews don’t tell the full story, and outcomes vary greatly depending on who within a firm is assigned to your case, their workload, and their specific experience with transactions like yours. Estate agents may also recommend their favourite solicitors for a referral, which doesn’t necessarily align with your best interests. In the UK, where transactions often involve two solicitors, having a great one on your side is meaningless unless the other side is equally competent and responsive.
At Conveyo, our mindset is simple: One property, one team.
One property, one team
What this means for you
- Our legal process starts as soon as the property hits the market. All available information is obtained and vetted in advance, so by the time a buyer steps in, everyone’s on the same page: sellers have clear expectations, buyers know exactly what they’re getting into.
- We work closely with agents, mortgage brokers, and lenders, to ensure there’s no unnecessary duplication or hold-ups. Say goodbye to sales progression.
- Clear and transparent communication, with expert support available 24/7 and regular status updates. No more chasing or being left in the dark.
- We provide independent legal representation for both parties, with centralised coordination: Our partner solicitors respond directly to us, so you call the shots and we keep things moving. And, with our cutting-edge conveyancing platform, our process runs like clockwork.
Don’t leave your transaction to chance. Use Conveyo for your next sale or purchase.

The property industry is plagued by conflicts of interest, razor-thin margins, a parochial mindset that clings to traditional practices, and a zero-sum mentality that views collaboration with suspicion. It’s far simpler to stick with the status quo and slap a band-aid on broken system than to challenge its foundations.
