The above two online precedents have been reviewed by the Conveyancing Committee following reports from users that there were some technical glitches in the fillable PDF documents, and the committee is happy to confirm that these technical issues have now been addressed. There has also been a minor layout change in the section ‘Services and utilities’ (no 8 in the ‘Sale’ precedent and no 3 in the ‘Purchase’ precedent) to clarify the combination of options that can be selected when completing the document electronically.

Practitioners should note that any conveyancing precedent available on the precedents’ page of the Society’s website is always the latest version of the relevant document, and it is good practice to download the precedent from the website on each occasion that you use it. This ensures that you are always using the latest version, which will encapsulate any minor amendment made to the document since you last used it.

While it is unlikely that the above technical issues would have manifested themselves to practitioners or clients who were completing the precedents manually, it would be prudent for members to also download hard copies of the latest version from the website for use in future sales or purchases.

By way of clarification, the committee confirms that any major amendments or significant revisions to a precedent are dealt with by way of providing a new edition of a document, and this is flagged to the profession at the time of publication of any such new edition.
