0 a person whose job is to manage the legal process of moving land or property from one owner to another: --
I have been asked what would be the standard of care expected from a licensed conveyancer.
For some time, the arrangements for prosecuting illegal conveyancers have been regarded as unsatisfactory.
The amendments are concerned primarily with agency arrangements involving solicitors and qualified conveyancers.
This group of amendments clarifies the business relationships which can be entered into by independent qualified conveyancers and solicitors.
Anyone who cares to consult the books of precedents used by conveyancers today in respect of freehold flats will find this to be the case.
The treatment was extended to solicitors, special pleaders, draftsmen in equity, conveyancers and notaries.
However, if any solicitor or conveyancer should find themselves without a form, they can, as a fallback, get them from their local stamp office.
Non-mention of licensed conveyancers, osteopaths and other people on the list means that they are subject to the ordinary rules of competition.
