Land Registry e-Conveyancing

Defining the Service - Electronic Funds Transfer

One of the problems with the existing conveyancing system is that delays often occur in making payments or confirming that they have been made. EFT is intended to solve this problem. Briefly, Land Registry will act as the trusted intermediary of all parties in conveyancing chains. To facilitate this r�le, each participant in a conveyancing transaction will have an account with an Agent Bank, into which it will pre-deposit the net funding requirements to complete its transactions within the chain. Land Registry, via the central e-conveyancing service, will instruct the Agent Bank to make the necessary payments out.
