Digital solutions enable legal firms and conveyancers to turn agreements around much faster. This can reduce completion time to a matter of hours – or even minutes. In fact, 67% of SignIT transactions are returned within 12 hours, well before the forms could even arrive by post.

Switching to digital is particularly relevant where a document needs witnessing, such as a deed execution. The extra steps and need for a witness to be physically present can create unnecessary delays, especially if individuals can’t meet face-to-face.

Digital agreements also make the whole process cheaper too. With fewer resources wasted, you’ll save up to £30 per agreement compared to paper processes. Add to this the environmental advantages of dispensing with hard copies and it’s an easy choice.
