Easy Convey software to include new
module for production of Home Information Packs (HIPs)
Latest breakthrough from e-conveyancing experts will allow law firms to
produce HIPs for a variety of different introducers
Easy Convey Ltd (www.easyconvey.com), a leading developer of
electronic conveyancing products and services, has today unveiled a new module
for its Conveyancing Administration Software Application (CASA) that will allow
for the generation of Home Information Packs (HIPs) from within the application
itself.
The new module gives CASA the
ability to import all of the documents that are needed to produce the HIP, no
matter how they have been generated. For example, searches and Home Efficiency
Reports that are received as email attachments or downloaded from websites, as
well as scanned guarantees supplied by the firm's client, can all be imported
and saved directly into CASA. In fact,
CASA facilitates this process by offering a scanning function that enables
guarantees, warrantees, and other printed documents and booklets to be included
within both the matter history and the HIP.
After all of this HIP information is
imported into CASA, an easy-to-use software wizard will combine all of the
selected documents into a standard format HIP, complete with the law firm's or
introducer's own branded front and back cover and index pages. The HIP generator produces the completed HIP
as a password-protected PDF document, with numbered pages and a customisable
watermark on each page. The complete document can then be uploaded to a website,
sent as an email attachment, burnt to CD/DVD or printed.
"For years, CASA has provided increased efficiency and streamlined
web integration for lawyers and licensed conveyancers who want to stay ahead of
the competition," says
CASA can assist lawyers and licensed
conveyancers with all areas of conveyancing administration. It is the first electronic conveyancing
application to provide automated case tracking, and to integrate with all three
NLIS Channels. The application can be used to generate letters and to complete
forms and other documents via automated workflows, all with the added
convenience of making sure that information only needs to be entered into the
system once.
Instructions for the HIP can be
generated via Easy Convey's Web-enabled On Line Lawyer Instruction service,
which automatically downloads instructions directly into the software. Users will also be able to track the progress
of the HIP process online by using the Track-A-Matter service.
In addition to this breakthrough in
HIP production, law firms and licensed conveyancers can now also use CASA to
submit their Inland Revenue SDLT returns electronically and to print the
certificate immediately on acceptance of the submission. Previously, the need to use printed forms
sent via the post meant that this process could take up to four weeks. However, by using CASA to manage this same
information electronically, the process now takes just minutes, with the
submissions guaranteed to be correctly formatted and completed.
CASA is ready to use immediately,
and is supplied with 11 workflows, as well as with all associated letters and
documents already installed. All
workflows can be easily modified and new workflows can be added at any time.
The software even provides an automated fee estimate - complete with bill and
financial statement creation - to provide unbeatable speed and accuracy.
