Hello. More of my thoughts about grappling with the social meeja minefield.

Let me tell you some of the things I have learnt about social meeja and the people that you need around you…

As someone who produces motivational posters has no doubt said:

‘You will learn from what you were brave enough to do. You will learn nothing if you don’t try’.

(I just made that up. I might put it on a coaster and a tea towel).

Conveyancers will be all too aware of the problems relating to Japanese knotweed, but have you considered the impact of the Law Society’s updated guidance to the Property Information Form on the advice given to your sellers and buyers?

Thankyou to everyone who read last week’s Friday tip and to those who commented!

I am going to follow up with some more comments on indemnity insurance as it is of such relevance to conveyancing lawyers.

When faced with a problem on a file, most conveyancers will click for an indemnity insurance policy or (if they are as old as me) will lean over for the ring binder of standard policies. In many cases, a self-issue policy will be the way to ensure that a transaction progresses promptly. But before you click ‘buy’, I urge you to stop! Think!

People who are new to this whole social meeja thing need to understand the difference between Twitter and Linked In. Twitter is like a small child – it needs constant attention and input. Linked In is Twitter’s older sibling….

I am an experienced property solicitor. I am a very good trainer and my legal webinars are (mainly) excellent, if the feedback is to be believed. I have set up a company and I have a website.

So, that’s all I need then, right?

The lurid and sometimes inaccurate headlines about the state of the UK property market are getting on my nerves. We are in uncharted waters. But the housing market is still open for business and for the sake of all of us with any stake or interest in the housing market I hope that the headline writers take note.
