The conveyancing industry is becoming increasingly competitive, many firms are looking for ways to streamline their processes, reduce costs and gain that advantage. One way to achieve this is by outsourcing services, such as title investigation.
Outsourcing work is a great way to optimise your business functions and services. Firms are able to tap into expert advice, resources and support which allow them to scale up or down to meet their business needs and all with increased speed and agility. Businesses who outsource parts of their business in the UK experience average cost savings of 20%-25% all without having to personally make the required investment.
However, there can be a stigma attached to outsourced services in the industry, whereby some firms believe that it is better to keep the conveyancing process in-house, even though this solution can be a drain on precious time and resource.
We want to change this mindset by showing why outsourcing can be beneficial for conveyancers and actually make firms quicker and more efficient at what they do.
