Greetings!

Some of you will remember the local agency chain, Windsor Fareham & Co. I had the pleasure of a day out at Silverstone last week with its former MD, who later went on to own the largest residential mortgage originator in the UK and one of the largest sub prime Lenders.

Needless to say it got me thinking about entrepreneurship in our industry- or lack of it.

Perhaps I am missing the point but I wondered how many Agents have been truly challenged by their Solicitors and helped to create new products or services to improve bottom lines or increase market share? It's a question worth posing- what are you doing to help me?

Our experience in the volume lending and national mortgage servicing market has given us an insight into how to truly generate a profitable, entrepreneurial relationship with our introducers.

So rather than saying we are the best conveyancers (that's for you to judge!) what can we do for you? Well the services we list below might help- the FEE RECOVERY in this market is very popular with our Buyers but what about,

The 280 branded HIP

Free Tele Calls to ALL Solicitors or Conveyancers

The ONLY firm in this area to be part of the Land Registry's full e-Conveyancing model

If that's not enough then there's more- but that might just have to wait until next month!

Best Wishes

The 280 HIP Getting it right first time and on time

Our work in providing the most streamlined HIP process available in the area is paying off.

We have developed post-April regulation compliant HIPs and tested them.

Your Clients can complete the new Property Information Questionnaires and their Sales Statements online and these are automatically validated and imported into our system. No printing off required- no bad handwriting being a problem!

In addition our relationships with title insurers means we can re-validate expired searches as part of our HIP HAPPY campaign.

And all this can be branded to you!!! Not bad.

The 280 HIP

Recovery of Abortive Costs

Fee Recovery Ensuring the Bottom Line

We have developed a unique and extremely competitive abortive costs policy which is now standard across all our matters. The NO COMPLETION NO FEE is standard but what we offer is something different- if the Client spends out money in advance to a third party then they can claim it back- and you could get paid too!

In addition if you need help recovering your fees then we created a service especially for brokers and agents over 3 years ago to ensure you get paid!

Your Relationship Partner

We ensure that you are dealt with by a Partner Solicitor from the word go. All our introducers spend 6 months with a Partner to ensure all issues are ironed out at the outset by someone with sufficient authority to make the calls for you and your Clients.

This private and confidential update on our services has been sent by Wright & Wright LLP as you have registered with the online Orbiter system. Wright & Wright LLP is regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority and is a limited liability partnership registered in England and Wales under number OC310426. All introductions are subject to an initial compliance audit and agreement terms.

Try our HIP Happy Assessment...

Are you frustrated that no-one seems to pre-empt and deal with problems early enough? Are your Sellers, Buyers and their advisers not taking advantage of the up front information available with a HIP.

Well we have an alternative.

We can assess the HIP and point out the 3 key concern areas to ensure they are dealt with up front and so no surprises arise later down the line.

In addition we can bring in our Costs Insurance at this point or re-validate the searches.

All these three elements can save several days of frustration from your transaction.
