• Easy completion of forms via the App – including formal Law Society forms, through your phone or tablet.
• More secure exchange of personal and financial information and documentation via the App.
• Easily communicate with your property lawyer via the App.
• Track the progress of your transaction and key milestones via the App.
• Understand what you are required to supply to your property lawyer to keep your transaction moving with the App’s To-Do List.
