Back-to-back property transactions: best practice for conveyancers

In a challenging economic climate, where liquidity pressures and opportunistic investment strategies are shaping the property market, many conveyancing solicitors are seeing an increase in requests for back-to-back or same-day property transactions. These involve a property being bought and immediately resold, often on the same day, at a higher price.

While lawful, back-to-back conveyancing transactions are considered high-risk for solicitors and conveyancers, both from a professional indemnity and regulatory perspective, due to their potential for money laundering, mortgage fraud, and the possibility of the transaction collapsing. Conveyancers must be highly vigilant for red flags and perform stringent due diligence. 

Understanding how to manage these exposures is essential to protecting your firm, your client, and your professional standing.In a challenging economic climate, where liquidity pressures and opportunistic investment strategies are shaping the property market, many conveyancing solicitors are seeing an increase in requests for back-to-back or same-day property transactions.
