Property Butler has announced the launch of a new conveyancing and concierge service for estate agents.

Part of Sort Limited, the firm revealed the proposition which is geared towards putting the estate agent in a powerful position by providing reasonable conveyancing services in the early stages of the purchase process.

The newly introduced service will make sure that clients are correctly represented by conveyancers from the very start of the house buying process.

Property Butler, powered by SoftRefer, will provide agencies with a white labelled online portal to a select conveyancing panel.

The new service will mean that estate agency advisers will be able to produce quotes accurate to the last penny, give online instructions and have the chance to access progress reports at any time of any day through their smartphone or tablet app or desktop.

Property Butler will also offer a Fee Guard which will be free for clients to use and gives them peace of mind in terms of the upfront fees paid when purchasing a property. The Fee Guard system will cover disbursement costs for any unforeseen event up to a £1,500 value.

Also on offer is the Concierge Service which will provide estate agencies with a bespoke service enabling them to pass referrals and allow the Property Butler team to make the most of the available opportunities.

Tim Price will run the new service and he boasts an impressive estate agency career spanning 25 years, along with property market work with Legal & General and Parkers. He has also provided the industry with key ancillary services through The Live Organisation and ONN Financial.

Mr Price commented that one of the most important parts of any property transaction is conveyancing, although this is historically slow with insufficient communication to customers from estate agents, resulting in poor sales pipeline control.

He believe that this is why the Property Butler will strongly appeal to estate agents.
