Rob,
I doubt that any conveyancer is "con" e-conveyancing. What they are "con" is the increasing liability which it will almost certainly impose on the profession.
If that can be solved, then there will be no problem; but it will not be solved by some form of state guarantee which can be abrogated as and when a bankrupt state wishes. Surely, we've all got wise to state promises about eg the State Pension, the NHS, etc.....
The risk must lie with the client, who must be given the choice of "e-conveyancing" or traditional paper conveyancing, naturally at the appropriate fee for each.
To bring in my old hobbyhorse, they should also be given the choice of having the transaction covered by PII or not.....and let a proper market evolve.
