A shift in mindset around collaboration across the property sector

In the second episode of the new series of the Today's Conveyancer podcast former Google-exec turned prop-tech entrepreneur Gemma Young discusses her journey on helping improve the home moving process.In a wide ranging discussion Gemma and Today's Conveyancer podcast host David Opie explore the work being done to digitise the relationships between estate agents and conveyancers, and the conveyancing process. In her words Gemma is witnessing what she considers to be a shift in mindset around organisations prepared to collaborate more now, than ever before. And if there is a takeaway from the discussion it is for professionals to invest time in 2025 to find out what is happening from a technology and process point of view, and who is leading that charge. How do we move from the current situation where 1 in 3 property transactions fall through, to creating greater certainty in the process; and by extension reinvesting billion of pounds back in to the UK economy?There is no silver bullet and Gemma discusses the work being done on to connect so much that is being in silos; improving the quality of data through the Property Data Trust Framework (PDTF) and enabling that to be shared throughout the transaction rather than the extensive duplication in the current process; and educating professionals and consumers on what that change looks like.There's an opportunity to fundamentally make a change in how we transact property says Gemma, and if I was speaking to conveyancers I would say lean in, learn, read, and find out more about what's happening in the space. The Today's Conveyancer podcast can be found on your preferred podcast provider and also at www.todaysconveyancer.co.uk.
