The Conveyancing Association has announced the launch of its new conveyancing progression training course for  estate agents.

The course – made up of three modules and costing £59 – has been designed to help agents understand the conveyancing process and help them work with all parties within a property chain in order to reduce fall-throughs and get sales to exchange faster.

During the course, delegates will gain understanding of the legal process and tips on where they can genuinely make a difference.

The course is open to both new starters and more experienced professionals.

Within the three modules, delegates will cover a number of different topics including: the role of the parties in the process; contractual liabilities; registration; tenure; caveat emptor, rights or easements; restrictions; covenants, overriding interests; and lender requirements.

The modules are split as follows:

  • Module 1 – learn what conveyancing is, all about the parties involved in the transaction and when contractual liabilities come into play during the house moving process.
  • Module 2 – find out about one of the most complex elements of land law, tenure, as well as those things which impact property ownership such as covenants, restrictions and easements.
  • Module 3 – discover what the conveyancing process really involves with a full, animated walk-through of the process and top tips on how to can keep the transaction moving while preventing fall throughs.
