As we transition into spring, we are delighted to share some exciting developments and resources that underpin our commitment to innovation and excellence in the conveyancing sector.
Boost Efficiency with Our Cost and Time Saving Calculators
Introducing two new calculators from Collaborative Conveyancing. Developed using real-world data from firms using Enquiry Manager to streamline pre-contract enquiries. By analysing the data, we provide estimated time and cost savings, though actual results may vary depending on specific circumstances and legal requirements.
In designing these tools, we focused on the key metrics that matter most to conveyancers and firms. Our cost-saving calculator considers the full financial picture, including wages for conveyancers and legal assistants, National Insurance, pensions, and overheads, giving you a more comprehensive view of potential savings.
To help your firm enhance efficiency, we offer two essential tools:
✅ Time-Saving Calculator – See how much time you could save with Enquiry Manager.
✅ Cost-Saving Calculator – Assess potential cost reductions with Enquiry Manager.

British Conveyancing Awards 2025: A Night of Recognition
Thursday 13th March saw the fifth British Conveyancing Awards, hosted by Vernon Kay. The awards celebrate the outstanding achievements of professionals in our field and Collaborative Conveyancing were proudly shortlisted in two categories, the Collaboration of the Year award alongside Movera and Technology Enabler of the Year award. Although Collaborative Conveyancing didn’t win, it was a great evening and our thanks must go to the event organisers, David Opie and the team at Today’s Media for once again putting on a fantastic evening enjoyed by all.
In addition to our nominations, we were proud to sponsor the “Customer Service Champions” award. All shortlisted firms were worthy winners, but the judges awarded this year’s award to Wilford Smith Solicitors, with Montpellier Legal highly commended.
High Court Ruling Highlights Importance of Honest Pre-Contract Disclosures
A recent High Court case reinforces the need for transparency in pre-contract disclosures. The seller of a £32.5m London home failed to disclose a severe moth infestation, despite pest control reports identifying the issue. In pre-contract enquiries, he falsely stated he was unaware of any vermin infestation or related reports.
The buyers, who later discovered the issue and spent £270,000 on repairs, successfully sought contract rescission. The court ruled that the seller’s misrepresentations were material, rejecting concerns that the decision would create wider problems for conveyancers.
This case highlights the importance of clear, honest responses in pre-contract due diligence.
