From the imposition of the first lockdown and complete halt on conveyancing activity, to the first stamp duty holiday with an enormous surge in business bringing record profits for firms and the Exchequer. With further Stamp Duty reforms, rising inflation and interest rates and an uncertain mortgage market, further changes are afoot.

All this change has presented challenges and opportunities for conveyancers. In this insight report, we’ve used Land Registry data to analyse the effects of the pandemic on residential house transactions, the macro market environment and conveyancing firms’ performance throughout 2020 and 2021.

Throughout the report, industry experts provide context to the data and give their thoughts on what this might mean for conveyancers both now and in the future, raising key topics for conveyancers to consider in the months and years ahead.
