Welcome to Conveyancing Podcast Episode 1.
Matthew and Thomas explore the weekly news roundup in the Conveyancing world.
In this podcast we explore a report by the Law Society Gazette reports that active Conveyancing firms are at a record low having dropped from over 4000 to high 3000.
We examine a Solicitors Regulation Authority news report that they were ranked in a poll by Stonewall as one of the top LGBT inclusive employers in Britain.
Then during a general roundup of other Property related news we dive into several other news sources. First a video uploaded by the BBC which examines middle aged people who have always rented rather than owned their own home.
Then we move onto 3 different articles by The Daily Mail. The first also examines middle aged renters but this time it is different because they previously owned their own home but chose to move into rental accommodation after their children left home to give themselves more flexibility over where they can work.
The second article shows that after a period of stagnation house price inflation has started to increase again. Although it is still below regular levels at only 3% and London is lagging behind the rest of the country.
The third article shows that Buy-to-Let landlords have been hit hard by George Osbourne's changes to capital gains tax rules.
On a lighter side we also check Country Life magazine to look at high end property listings.
Then we dive deep with an article from Legal futures which claims that soon firms will have end to end instant conveyancing using a simple new app.
