Adding your own solicitor

Sometimes, clients will insist on seeing a conveyancer in person and proactively search their local area to do so, and instruct a firm themselves. This means without the option of a local firm to refer to, you are cut out of the process (no referral fees and unable to talk to the solicitor on the client’s behalf). We can provide a solution to this - you can add a firm of your choice to your individual panel on Conveyancing Brain.

With permission from the said firm they will appear in the results of any applicable quotations created by you and allowing you to instruct cases to them using our portal.

We would offer the use of our software to the said firm, meaning you can utilise our functionality in addition to working with them (e.g. case tracking, communication, feedback and all our usual functionality) and we will pay your referral fee as normal on the day of case completion.

How to add your own solicitor:

  1. Log in to your account on www.conveyancingbrain.co.uk and click on Account/Settings dropdown arrow. Select ‘Add A Solicitor’

  2. An introduction page and instructions will appear explaining the 3 simple steps

  3. Once checks are carried out and your own solicitor has accepted the invitation they will appear in your panel and quotes.
