Yesterday saw the first live CPD event of our educational programme, which was hosted by TM Group and Lockton Companies at Clifton Pavilion - a wonderful Victorian building that adjoins Bristol Zoo.

Property Law; A Risky Business was a complimentary CPD event designed to ruminate upon the forces at work in conveyancing that pose the biggest risks to your firm.

Our selection of expert speakers also offered advice on how to prevent and deal with those risks. The day was a complete success and indeed, some interesting early feedback from one of the delegates confirmed that the session had been "scarily useful!"

We are pleased to announce the schedule for our Educational Programme for Jan – June 2014.

Featuring a mixture of regional live events and online webinars, we will be bringing together key partners from within the industry to deliver knowledge-packed CPD sessions.

Supply and Demand

As we enter 2014, the property market is looking its healthiest for years. Persistently low interest rates, falling unemployment and the Government’s ‘Help to Buy’ scheme have unleashed a generation of pent-up first-time-buyers on the market and HMRC are reporting that transaction volumes are at their highest since 2007 (graph below) whilst the Bank of England’s forward guidance sees interest rates remaining at record lows.
