In November 2017 Tonic Works conducted a study with the kind support of the Council for Licensed Conveyancers and OneSearch Direct.
Publishing prices for conveyancing on law firms websites is likely to become compulsory in 2018. This research has been undertaken in order to investigate the impact website conveyancing estimation tools have on meeting the needs of online consumers and the processes by which law firms currently secure instructions through their websites.
The objective of the study was to identify whether the presence or absence of an instant conveyancing estimate tool on a law firm website had an impact on the number of enquiries, and the number of instructions a law firm receives through their website.
