Technology in conveyancing!! 💻 🏚️ Is it being over/under used? Are firms using it to support conveyancers in the right way? What combinations of technology are working the best? Are conveyancers who prefer limited tech and paper files falling behind? This has been an enthralling topic which is raising some really interesting views from all angles. I'm really keen to hear more about your stories - success and failures - of how and what firms are doing to implement technology! #conveyancing #technology

We achieved another WIN for our client in Leeds County Court yesterday with a successful Motor Finance Claim! However, I want to draw attention to another case that we unfortunately lost. This case highlights a critical issue we are constantly facing with this claim type that doesn’t get the attention it fully deserves. On the same day, in the same court, and with the same judge, we had two claims against Volkswagen Financial Services. Claim 1: - Amount of Credit: £32,009.28 - Total Amount Payable: £41,281.23 - APR: 6.8% - Commission: £2,816 (7% of the Total Amount Payable) We won this claim, securing £3,008 inclusive of 5% statutory interest from the date of the letter of claim. Claim 2: - Amount of Credit: £42,108.00 - Total Amount Payable: £56,139.07 - APR: 9.6% - Commission: £840 We lost this claim. The key point of concern here is the commission disparity. How can a loan of £42,108 with a higher APR of 9.6% result in a commission of only £840, while a loan of £32,009 with an APR of 6.8% pays a commission of £2,816? The logical answer is that it shouldn't. But the reality is that it does because the lender enables this disparity. The lender’s rates and terms document allows dealers to control the commission they receive. In Claim 1, the dealer capitalised on the buyer's eagerness and secured a high commission. In Claim 2, possibly due to less buyer enthusiasm or end-of-month sales targets, the dealer opted for a lower commission to close the deal. The crux of the issue is that lenders permit dealers to set commissions at their discretion, often resulting in significant financial differences for clients. This discretion, embedded in the retail rates and terms agreement between the lender and dealer, can lead to thousands of pounds in variation per agreement for the sake of commission. This inconsistency and lack of transparency are what needs to be addressed and acknowledged by the regulator, the FOS and the media and a suitable and fair redress mechanism needs to be put in place to remedy the gross mis-selling that has been going on for years and years.

This week’s 🔝tip for developers and lenders Restrictive covenants 📣 If you apply to the Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber) to discharge or modify a restrictive covenant, or if you seek a declaration from the Court regarding its interpretation, you won't be able to subsequently obtain restrictive covenant indemnity insurance. 💡Before taking any legal action re:restrictive covenants, it would be wise to consider whether insurance might be a quicker and more cost-effective alternative. #PropertyLaw #legalindemnities #LegalTips #developmentfinance

2nd takeaway from Access Conveyancing Report..... ....is that smaller firms are holding their own and there are opportunities for growth for even the smallest conveyancers. I have always believed that technology is the great equaliser. Tech is becoming so more accessible, that even the very small firms can utilise its benefits. The challenge is whether the decision makers have the motivation to embrace it. Whilst the bigger firms do embrace technology at a quicker rate because their decision making is more collective and commercially focused than their smaller competitors. But it need not be!

Conveyancing. Disclosure by Vendors. Presence of Japanese Knotweed. Scottish Standard Clauses, Fourth Edition (12 January 2021) Clause considered by court: 2 AWARENESS OF CIRCUMSTANCES AFFECTING THE PROPERTY 2.1 So far as the Seller is aware (but declaring that the Seller has made no enquiry or investigation into such matters) the Property (including in respect of Clause 2.1.3 the Building, if appropriate) is not affected by: 2.1.1 any Notices of Payment of Improvement/Repairs Grants; 2.1.2 (nor has been affected by) flooding from any river or watercourse which has taken place within the last 5 years; 2.1.3 other than as disclosed in the Home Report for the Property any structural defects; wet rot; dry rot; rising or penetrating damp; woodworm; or other infestation [my emphasis].” The Scottish Standard Clauses also provided the following interpretation: “The terms ‘the Purchaser’, ‘the Seller’, ‘the Property’, ‘the Price’ and ‘the Date of Entry’ have the meanings set out in the Offer or other document incorporating reference to these Clauses; [...] ‘the Building’ means, where applicable, the larger building or tenement of which the Property forms part. “The masculine includes the feminine (and vice versa) and the words in the singular include the plural (and vice versa).” The missives made clear that “the Property” was the whole property ultimately transferred to the pursuers and therefore included the garden and other land. Held I considered the presence of JK on a property in sufficient numbers could properly be described as an infestation of JK and that a JK infestation was a harmful thing or matter which could commonly adversely affect a property (which included adversely affecting a physical building). Indeed the defenders admit that JK “is a pest plant which blights gardens and damages structures”. In all the circumstances I came to view that the intention of the parties was for a JK infestation to fall within the words “other infestation”. Further, I considered that even if the intention of the parties was that the words “other infestation” ought to be limited to harmful things that could commonly adversely affect a physical building that the intention of the parties was, in any event, for a JK infestation to fall within those words because, it was, as I have already pointed out, a harmful thing or matter that could commonly adversely affect a physical building… The defenders do not, however, admit that that they were aware that there was a JK “infestation” and in the circumstances it may prove necessary, if the issue cannot be agreed, for evidence to be led that the JK that the defenders were of aware of on the property was indeed a JK “infestation”.
