Our News Coverage | June 2024
June has been an eventful month with the General Election campaign dominating the news agenda, and with a growing amount of discussion about what happens in the next Parliament, it has also given us plenty to think about in terms of what the next Government might deliver.
Through the month, we’ve looked quite carefully at what is on offer from the major parties via their manifestos and all members will have received a housing/mortgage market manifesto breakdown covering those policies.
At our May series of meetings we had an in-depth discussion about the Bank of England’s synchronisation project, and what this might mean for conveyancers particularly in the context of client money accounts. If you were unable to attend those May meetings, we would urge you to read Beth Rudolf’s article on this, from the 3rd June, in Today’s Conveyancer. The project has not yet been given the green light, but if it does, it could have major implications for conveyancing firms that will need to be considered now.
Finally, there has been a great deal of discussion around the TA6 form, its update, the subsequent delay to the launch of the updated form, and what it means for conveyancers. Again, please read Beth Rudolf’s article, published on the 27th June – also in Today’s Conveyancer – to get a steer on what the CA feels about this issue.
