Law firm forms joint venture to streamline house-buying

Two East Midlands-based businesses have formed a joint venture aimed at reducing the time it takes for people to move house by streamlining the conveyancing process.

Law firm, Sills and Betteridge is now using Redbrick Practice Management to assist their conveyancing department.

Edward Sharpe, partner, Sills and Betteridge said: “We recognise that moving home is a stressful time and are committed to providing a personal, efficient, cost effective service that protects the best interests of our clients.

“We have a wealth of expert knowledge within the firm and so it made sense to partner with the conveyancing case management experts.

“Choosing Redbrick Practice Management has helped us ensure all files are being dealt with in a consistently efficient manner, it helps us deliver a high level of service to our clients and is great for managing risk. As a result, we expect to be able to deliver a far more efficient and cost effective conveyancing service.”

Redbrick Solutions is based in Oakham, Rutland and was founded in 2001. Its software now supports over 3,000 conveyancers with a practice managements solution.

Martin MacDuff, managing director, said: “This is great news for all home movers within the East Midlands. Sills and Betteridge have really embraced a modern, efficient way of working, which will benefit both them and their clients moving forwards.”

Founded in 1759, Sills and Betteridge has 264 partners and staff based in nine offices located across Lincolnshire and Nottingham.
