We should be grateful for small mercies re conflict. This entire debate is symptomatic of the public's desire to have complicated costly and scary procedures disappear from their lives by magic and for no cost to themselves. It just isn't on and we as a society should stop pandering to fairy tale wishes. Every step designed to speed up and simplify the process increases the measure by which lawyers have to be on their guard in defence of their clients. The safest thing which could happen to the conveyancing market would be for unregistered conveyancing to return, for bankers drafts to be the means of exchange and for completion meetings to take place to encompass the whole chain. Actual safety and actual progress, rather than the fraud rich veneer of them are what is wanted.
