The Benefits of e-Conveyancing: Discussion
12:15 pm
Mr. Patrick Dorgan:
One of the many e-Government initiatives revolves around building regulations and their implementation. This largely arises from Priory Hall and similar developments. One of the advantages of the e-conveyancing system is that it proposes to tap straight into statutory compliance mechanisms. Under the new building regulations, the solicitor would be able to see online the status, verification and compliance details of any building. This is another major advantage and has been taken in tandem with Government initiatives and policies.
