The Human-AI Partnership
In this month’s blog, we continue our digital transformation series with a timely look at how AI is reshaping the conveyancing profession, not by replacing people, but by supporting them.
As the number of qualified conveyancers continues to fall, while client expectations rise, firms are under more pressure than ever. This article explores how AI can take on repetitive administrative tasks, giving legal professionals more time to focus on client relationships, complex legal work, and strategic thinking.
It’s a compelling read for anyone curious about the evolving role of the conveyancer and how technology can help rebalance the scales.

Fall-Throughs on the Rise: A Warning Sign for Conveyancers
Q1 2025 saw a 24% increase in fall-throughs compared to the same period in 2024, with over 78,000 transactions collapsing before completion. This sharp rise is strongly linked to the end of temporary Stamp Duty relief on 1st April, a deadline many buyers failed to meet, prompting deals to collapse.
This data is particularly relevant for conveyancers:
Time pressure and deadline-driven decisions are increasing the risk of transactions falling apart.
As interest in homeownership continues to rise, so does client urgency and expectation.
So what does this mean? Well now more than ever, reducing friction in the conveyancing process is vital. Tools that streamline pre-contract enquiries and improve client communication can help mitigate delays and protect against fall-throughs, saving time, money, and stress for everyone involved.
