The Proposed Updated Exchange & Hold to Order Protocols

Join David Keighley in this sixty-minute webinar for Residential Conveyancers, where he will be discussing how the Law Society is proposing far-reaching changes to the existing formulae for the exchange of contracts.

The changes that are expected to be implemented in 2026 will replace the existing formulae for exchange of contracts with two new protocols, which will be compulsory for CQS firms. The proposals also involve regulating for the first time what is meant by “hold to order” in respect of both deposits and documents.

This session will look at the proposals and the implications for practitioners.
