Mr. Patrick Davitt:

The one good thing we hope will happen with e-conveyancing is that it will entail timeframes. Time is what we are talking about. If people know that conveyancing is going to take, for instance, two months, they know they have to have all their ducks in a row inside two months and that the sale is going to happen. At the moment, the attitude is, "If it goes on another week, what about it? Sure, it will close next week or the week after or whatever." We believe e-conveyancing would put strict timeframes into place, which would help the whole situation.
