Support and a solid business model make X-Press Legal Services an obvious choice
S
earching for success? X-Press Legal Services, the largest independent property search provider, has continued to play an integral role in the conveyancing process
throughout the past year. Their 27 franchise offices across England
and Wales provide hundreds of thousands of expert property search reports to solicitors and conveyancing professionals each year, keeping the property sector moving. As well as offering expert reports, franchisees
pride themselves on offering quality customer service, always on the end of the phone to help a client. They really become part of a client’s team and build a loyal client base that depends on their valuable service. X-Press searches are always in demand as they
are an essential part of every property purchase, sale, repossession, remortgage or redevelopment. X-Press’s business model is resistant to
fluctuations and changes in the property market, providing regular, repeat business. Being a search provider requires a meticulous attention to detail, a thorough understanding of technology, flexibility, independence, and strong communication skills. These are all factors X-Press look for in their franchisees.
Unrivalled support The business was established by the Lister family in 1998, who franchised in 2005. This family aspect
is carried through into the network, providing exceptional peer support and ongoing training to franchisees and their teams. Franchisees don’t need legal experience, as
their clients will be the legal experts. Thorough initial training is provided to help franchisees understand the business and the sector, as well as ongoing training opportunities. The X-Press Academy is an internal programme of support webinars and workshops, helping franchisees master every aspect of their business – from marketing and events to specific product launches and developments in the sector.
Ongoing innovation The national office at X-Press Legal is constantly innovating the range of products and services that franchisees can offer to their clients. The franchise has recently formed a new
partnership with
SDLT.co.uk and Compass, both products offering a more compliant way of working out tax payments for a property. Enhancing the compliance of the processes adds security to the work solicitors do, lowering the instances of claims against incorrect calculations – a huge tick-box for clients. As a cloud-based company, X-Press continually
invest in their online security – including being Cyber Essentials Plus accredited. An entire suite of online products and searches are available to X-Press clients, serving as a one-stop-shop for all their conveyancing needs.
