KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Licensed Conveyancer
A licensed conveyancer is a legal professional who is qualified to handle conveyancing matters, particularly the transfer of property ownership, but is not a solicitor. This role was introduced to widen access to legal services in property transactions.
The profession was established in 1985 following recommendations from the Farrand Committee, with the aim of increasing competition and efficiency in the legal market. Entry into the profession is achieved through a system of examinations rather than traditional legal training routes.
Licensed conveyancers are regulated by the Council for Licensed Conveyancers, which sets standards for competence, ethics, and professional conduct. They play a significant role in residential and commercial property transactions.
