Our approach is totally different: we’re collaborative and very old-school in the way the partnership works: we refer business between our Partners, everyone knows what’s going on throughout the business, and it’s all for the benefit of our clients.
“Also, the experienced partner you meet is the person you’ll deal with throughout your entire sale or purchase, unlike other agencies where you’ll deal with different people in a branch office.”
Aconveyancing appoints Ben Davidson as new managing director
Conveyancing firm Aconveyancing has appointed Ben Davidson as its new managing director.
Davidson previously served as managing director of Simply Conveyancing, where he led the business through a management buyout.
Davidson commented: “Aconveyancing is a modern, values-driven firm with an outstanding reputation for service excellence.
“I’m excited to be able to get back into the property industry. From reading industry press and social media, there are clear examples where the relationships between estate agents and conveyancers are under significant strain due to increased time to exchange, poor service and generic case management systems that seem unable to prioritise or give any freedom to lawyers who are trying to deliver.
“I feel that there is now a fantastic opportunity for Aconveyancing to deliver a service designed for working with estate agents for the benefit of its clients and colleagues with a focus on performance. Aconveyacning has and continues to invest significantly into tech, automation and AI, but we understand that the property industry is a people business, relying on personal communication delivered by professionals.”
