The latest podcast explores the transformative potential of artificial intelligence in conveyancing, focusing on its ability to enhance efficiency, reduce administrative burdens, and improve risk management. Host David Opie is joined by Chris Harris, the founder of Collaborative Conveyancing, who shares insights into how AI-driven tools can streamline tasks such as document analysis, inquiry management, and property searches.A key takeaway is the shift in client expectations, as AI enables faster information retrieval and response times. Clients are increasingly using AI to fact-check legal processes, which raises new challenges for conveyancers in maintaining trust and transparency.The discussion delves into the ethical considerations and regulatory challenges surrounding AI adoption, emphasizing the importance of human oversight to mitigate risks such as misinformation and data security concerns. While AI can automate routine processes, the necessity for legal expertise remains crucial in complex property transactions.Chris Harris presents real-world examples of AI applications, including automated inquiry handling and AI-driven voice assistants for conveyancing quotes. While AI will not replace conveyancers, it is poised to reshape workflows, allowing professionals to focus on complex legal matters rather than routine administrative tasks.Ultimately, the conversation underscores that AI is not a threat but a tool that, when implemented responsibly, can empower conveyancers and enhance the property transaction process.

The latest Today's Conveyancer Podcast welcomes PJ Singh and George Levett of Conveyancer Plus to discuss how they are working with firms to help them manage their pipelines, and create a consistent pipeline of work, rather than become over-reliant on third part lead sources. The discussion covers how using outsourced services can bring down complaints around communications (conveyancing is the most complained about areas of consumer of law), ensure consistency in pricing and process, which sets expectations accordingly at the outset of the relationship. Interestingly, analysis of their service identifies the average call duration with a prospective client is over 8 minutes; and despite the array of communications options (instant messaging, email, live chat etc) George says 80% of enquiries prefer phone calls.The result is a 95% conversion on estate agent and broker referrals (vs. industry average of 70–80%); near 30% conversion on comparison site leads (vs. typical 5–10%); and 60% conversion on website leads (vs. typical 30–40%).Only by understanding your numbers in relation to live files and soon-to-be -completed matters can firms be proactive with their business development and ensure they are making data-driven decisions on workload and future bottlenecks. PJ and George share their experience of working with firms to improve their conversion rates; not just from the point of view of direct engagement with clients, but also the lessons being learnt around what should be on firm's social media, what should be on their websites, and how consumers respond.  The Today's Conveyancer podcast can be found on your preferred podcast provider and also at www.todaysconveyancer.co.uk.

Expert legal trainer Ian Quayle of IQ Legal Training returns in this series of bitesize Today's Conveyancer Podcast episodes to explore a range of topics around conveyancing. "Transaction Tips" draws on Ian's extensive experience in and around the property sector discussing important topics conveyancers need to be thinking about. The latest episode considers the bizarre case of Patarkatsishvili and another -v- Woodward-Fisher; better known as the £32.5 million property in London, where the buyer successfully rescinded the contract due to a concealed infestation of clothes moths.The case serves as a cautionary tale about the importance of full and honest disclosure in the conveyancing process says Ian who provides a comprehensive overview of the case, as well as commentary on the impact for conveyancers when it comes to full disclosure on the TA forms, and the impact on the material information debate. Ian warns conveyancers to clearly define their role and liability in their retainers, especially when information is shared before formal instruction. He adds misrepresentation—especially fraudulent or reckless—can lead to rescission and damages; Conveyancers must be cautious in advising clients and should avoid assuming liability for pre-instruction disclosures; and reminds us the case underscores the growing importance of transparency, due diligence, and clear legal boundaries in property transactions.Ian will be back throughout the rest of the year with more Transaction Tips on the Today's Conveyancer Podcast.

What does the Climate Change Practice Note mean for conveyancers?

Following the publication of The Law Society Climate Change Risk Property Practice Note Today's Conveyancer Podcast host David Opie speaks to former Groundsure CEO and now consultant to the market Dan Montagnani about what the Practice Note does, and critically, doesn't include and what action property lawyers might take as a result. Building on the guidance published in 2022, the Practice Note provides property-specific outcomes with clarity no doubt welcomed as it helps define the boundaries of legal responsibility and provides a framework for managing client expectations.Historically, climate risk in UK property law has focused heavily on flooding. However, the new guidance broadens the scope to include:Wildfires – increasingly common in the UK, with recent events on Dartmoor and the Manchester Moors.Drought and water stress – which can affect ground stability and infrastructure.Heat stress – particularly in urban environments, impacting livability and energy efficiency.While flooding remains a significant concern (with one in six UK properties at risk), the legal and practical implications of these other issues are becoming more pronounced and must be considered in property transactions.And it's important to say this is not being driven by the search industry, adds Dan, highlighting the work ongoing across surveying (surveyors and lawyers share a collective responsibility to inform clients) lending and insurance sectors where climate risk is being factored in decision-making driven by both market forces and regulatory pressure.As has been said before, the guidance reinforces that property lawyers are not expected to assess climate risks themselves but are responsible for:Identifying when a property may be affected by climate-related risks.Advising clients to seek further information, such as through environmental or climate-specific searches.Ensuring clients understand the implications, particularly regarding insurance availability, mortgage lending, and long-term property value.Importantly, lawyers should clearly define the scope of their services in the retainer, especially if they choose to exclude climate risk advice. However, doing so may require significant effort to ensure clients understand the consequences of that exclusion.In terms of market acceptance Dan draws parallels with the evolution of contaminated land searches, which took a decade to become standard practice. He predicted that climate searches will become routine much faster due to the availability of the data, regulatory momentum and greater consumer pressure. By embracing climate risk assessments, clearly communicating with clients, and leveraging available data, conveyancers can not only protect themselves from liability but also enhance the quality and integrity of their service he concludes.  The Today's Conveyancer podcast can be found on your preferred podcast provider and also at www.todaysconveyancer.co.uk.

Since Labour came to power 12 months ago they have made home ownership one of their key messages. The headlines have focused on their ambitions to build 1.5m new homes over the course of this Parliament and in February they announced they would be 'modernising' home buying and selling process to make it fit for the 21st Century; but what does it really mean for conveyancers?The latest Today's Conveyancer podcast welcomes two protagonists who are involved in these efforts Nick Chadbourne, CEO of LMS, and Angela Hesketh, Head of Market Development at PEXA who both join the discussion in their roles representing the Open Property Data Association (OPDA). In the short term there are two ongoing projects; a A 12-week assessment of the needs of industry, specifically around data sharing and standardisation. The second project is led by Land Registry, and aims to digitise data points managed by central government and local authorities with the ambition to streamline data access and improve efficiencyThe OPDA's role is on creating the framework both for collecting and storing data associated with property transactions; and subsequently enabling it to be shared and relied upon. Nick describes the process as providing a 'vouch'  validating its origin and reliability, allowing conveyancers to make informed decisions without extensive rechecking.ID has been widely touted as a user case; instead of verifying ID 3,4,5 times throughout a transaction it can instead be verified once and relied upon thereafter. There are specific issues particular to property explains Angela, and work is ongoing to create a supplementary code to existing digital identity legislation that meets these unique needs.Both Nick and Angela are excited about the potential; a world in which conveyancers can trust the data they receive and focus on delivering a high-quality service without the burden of extensive verification and reverification. Alongside bringing more of that verified data to the fore at the outset of the transaction and being able to rely upon it, this shift would allow conveyancers to concentrate on their core responsibilities and improve the overall customer journey.Listen in to hear how the government's modernisation agenda is shaping up and how it impacts conveyancers and the wider property profession.  The Today's Conveyancer podcast can be found on your preferred podcast provider and also at www.todaysconveyancer.co.uk.

Defining workplace culture and its impact on leaders and employees

The latest Today's Conveyancer Podcast welcomes workplace culture and staff retention specialist Andre Thomas of Thomas Telman to discuss the critical importance of cultivating a positive workplace culture and the direct impact this has on staff retention and overall business success.The firm has created a empirical methodology by which culture can be measured through engagement surveys, focus groups, and one-on-one interviews. He identifies 15 key data points for assessing culture, including career development, psychological safety, retention rates, and recruitment costs. By gathering both quantitative and qualitative data, firms can gain a comprehensive understanding of their workplace culture and identify areas for improvement.Throughout the discussion Andre shares some of the detail of this methodology which can reduce the likelihood of errors and claims (engaged and satisfied employees are less likely to make mistakes), create positive cultures where employees feel valued, and aligned with the company's values increasing productivity, and plays a sizeable role in attracting and retaining top talent and ultimately improving profitability.Andre Thomas explains that many firms fail to take culture seriously due to a lack of clear definition and measurement. He argues that culture is not about superficial perks like table tennis tables or bean bags but about the genuine employee experience. Conversely, a toxic culture is marked by poor communication, lack of psychological safety, and high turnover.He encourages firms to be open about their findings and involve employees in the process of making improvements; trust and transparency are the foundations of a positive workplace culture, which in turn drives staff retention and business success.

How long does conveyancing actually take?

In the latest episode of the Today's Conveyancer podcast, host David Opie welcomes Rob Gurney, Managing Director of Ochresoft to discuss how long conveyancing actually takes; and why lower the lower transaction volumes of the last couple of years haven't seen corresponding falls in completion times.A new report from Landmark which interrogates the data held in the Ochresoft conveyancing workflows shows despite lower transaction volumes and advancements in technology, the time taken for property transactions has doubled since 2007. The average time from instruction to completion has increased from 85 days in 2007 to 160 days in 2024 for sales, and from 75 days to 120 days for purchases.There is, says Rob, a need for fundamental changes in the conveyancing process, including early instruction of lawyers and the adoption of technology. Rob has previously been on the Today's Conveyancer podcast discussing the perfect contract pack; conveyancing nirvana, where unnecessary enquiries are eradicated, and the process is streamlined to meet modern consumer expectations.For the time being issues around staffing (a 15% fall in qualified conveyancing numbers since the pandemic has caused bottlenecks); increased responsibility during the transaction meaning conveyancers now deal with roughly double the number of requirements they previously did; and regulatory changes including AML and BSA all have an impact on timelines. But there are factors within conveyancers' control says Rob, suggesting the earlier instruction of lawyers would go some way to streamlining the process later down the line. Instruction at the point of listing provides time to prepare documentation and data in advance. With search turnarounds now down to c.10 days, fewer complaints can be made about delays here, but ordering them in good time will help. And despite an 8 day reduction in the time it takes to deal with pre-contract enquiries between 2023 and 2024, the current 52-day average is double the time it took in 2007. Let's not forget, concludes Rob, we're all trying to achieve the same thing and no one gets paid until the transaction completes. For estate agents, shorter transaction times mean faster pipeline turnover and increased revenue. For lenders and consumers, delays can lead to financial losses due to expiring mortgage offers and changing interest rates. And for conveyancers faster transactions means better fees and happier clients. The Today's Conveyancer podcast can be found on your preferred podcast provider and also at www.todaysconveyancer.co.uk.

The skills have been diluted and education and training is critical to bridge the knowledge gap around post completion work She highlights the sometimes forgotten compliance and risk aspects of post-completion, including the potential for litigation if applications are not submitted on time. The elephant in the room are the delays at HMLR but we have to look at the impact of the pandemic and be a little forgiving says Priscilla and be patient the agency's recruitment and technology plans will drive improvements. Through her own training programmes Priscilla advocates the adoption of post-completion policies which provide a framework against which firms can ensure they are operating in a compliant manner. A main, overarching policy can be complemented by sub-post completion policies including Post-Completion Compliance Policy, a File Management Policy, a Reply to Requisition Policy and more.Checklists are a key tool to help eliminate errors, improve accuracy and save time. Having checklists in place will ensure errors are spotted pre-submission, requisition rates are reduced, and ensure consistency in how applications are processed and submitted says Priscilla.The podcast concludes with a discussion on the importance of post-completion specialisation and the need for continuous education and training in the field.The Today's Conveyancer podcast can be found on your preferred podcast provider and also at www.todaysconveyancer.co.uk.

The retainers establishes our relationship with the client and starts to create and manage expectations.He also explores best practice around ensuring retainers remain under review; and the firm have evidence on file the client has read and understood it. In the ever-changing world of conveyancing; and with issues like Building Safety Act and the upcoming changes to TA6 Protocol Forms, it's more important than ever to ensure retainers remain as relevant and up to date as possible. Ian warns firms against what he describes as "retainer creep"; an issue where a firm ends up doing something as part of the transaction they expressly exclude from the retainer; using the example of a boundary query. In such cases firms must expand the retainer or end up at risk of liability. Ian will be back throughout the rest of the year with more Transaction Tips on the Today's Conveyancer Podcast.

Travis Scholes, Commercial Director at LMS, joins Today's Conveyancer Podcast host David Opie to discuss the National Property Transaction Network (NPTN); an enablement platform where all those involved in the property transaction can interact in a way that creates greater efficiencies in the process.Discussing the evolution of the concept Travis explains how the last 5 years has seen the level of digitisation within each of the property silos develop astronomically; what's missing is a place where all those different elements of digitisation can work best together and and make the best use of that digital maturity that has taken place. We've got to make that burden to change easier, says Travis. We see NPTN as a way to knock down some of the roadblocks by creating a really open system into which anybody can plug; decoupling the LMS products and services from the network so they're not mandated and any one can plug their supply chain into it. The more people use a single platform to leverage the efficiencies the more powerful the data becomes, the more efficient the process becomes. We can also reduce the administrative burden by de-duplicating data entry points and creating more transparencyChange will be evolutionary, not revolutionary. The big bang approach where everyone has to stop what they're doing and adopt a completely new way of working is impossible. And we're still going through a process of helping the profession understand what this change looks like. In addition we've got to overcome some of the "technology fatigue" that has crept in; the idea that people become tired of hearing about the next big thing. In an entertaining, informative, and typically honest, discussion Travis explains how and why LMS are keen to play their part int he next iteration of the property market. The Today's Conveyancer podcast can be found on your preferred podcast provider and also at www.todaysconveyancer.co.uk.

Rob Houghton, CEO of reallymoving joins the Today's Conveyancer Podcast to discuss what home moving was like before the iPhone. reallymoving.com is a comparison site for for home moving services and recently celebrated 25 years in business. In a fascinating discussion about the evolution of online marketing, Rob discusses what the world of online was like in 1999 and the evolution of web search in the following years. He explains how the model of bidding for keywords developed, alongside the process of building websites that provided information for consumers.One of the criticisms directed at comparison sites is they simply encourage the race to the bottom on price; that by providing information driven by price, firms have no choice but to offer lower prices to be competitive. It's a fair comment says Rob, but critically he describes reallymoving as a "comparison site", not a "price comparison site." Semantics perhaps but an important distinction he says as while price is important, there are other factors like reviews, location, and information about a firm's approach to client communication (home moving milestone apps etc) that inform a client's decision.He says after price, reviews is the next most important way people choose their conveyancer, adding most people who convert through the website do not choose the lowest price.Given the changes the business has been through over the last 25 years, looking ahead for the next 25 years is hugely challenging. No question the continued digitisation of the industry will continue apace say Rob, and as far as lead generation is concerned, there will be a deeper integration between lead generators and firms, and firms and their clients; almost certainly powered by artificial intelligence. But Rob concludes on the thought that in 1999 comparison sites were largely an unknown quantity. Fast forward 25 years and they are now commonplace and are  hugely powerful and important to the consumer experience when it comes to travel, leisure, financial services and many other sectors.

They have 2 main focuses. Their first is in providing direct support on and offline for those who wish to reach out. Their second focus is on providing wider education and advocacy of mental health planning and promotion across the law. Importantly, says Elizabeth, LawCare help organisations understand how they can better support their people through identifying risk factors in the work place that undermine people's mental healthThe survey last ran in 2020 with the results published in 2021 and found 69% of respondents said that had experienced poor mental health. Addressing some of the reasons why the survey found 1 in 5 respondents had experienced bullying and workplace harassment; and less than half of respondents with line management responsibilities had any formal training. In 2025 there are 2 surveys to complete; one for individuals and one for organisations. More information about how to complete the surveys is on the LawCare website (Life in the Law) and below.The surveys are asking questions about wellbeing, hours people work, psychological safety, burnout, management and support, and bullying and harassment. For organisations, the survey is looking into whats steps are organisations taking to address the factors of poor mental health. Good mental health is a strategic investment, says Elizabeth. Staff who have positive mental health are going to be more effective, more productive, more likely to stay in the organisations. The objective of the surveys is to help produce evidence based best practice for firms to practically implement into their organisations.

The Today's Conveyancer podcast welcomes Group Chief Commercial Officer at First4Lawyers, Nick Delaney, to discuss their first foray in conveyancing services. The Group, best known for its FCA-regulated claims management company and SRA-regulated volume Road Traffic Accident work, has been going for 16 years and has launched F4LPlus; a comparison and lead generation service for consumers seeking conveyancing services. Throughout the discussion Nick explains how the project has developed over the past 18 months in an effort to diversify the business; and why conveyancing, rather than other consumer legal services such as wills, probate, employment and family services, has been the testing ground. Nick says the service is about helping consumers make a choice about who they want to use; but recognises the challenge services like F4LPlus and other comparison tools have in differentiating their panel firms. Geography, consumer reviews and carefully curated profiles are among the selection criteria presented to enquirers in an effort to try and give the consumer more than the price to look at. If there are lessons to be learnt from the extensive experience in high volume personal injury and clinical negligence matters First4Lawyers are best known for, it is recognising the importance of a sales process for the leads generated. Successful firms are the ones who have people at the front end helping clients, says Nick. The speed at which consumers get a response plays a key role in their decision-making process. And above all "firms who are good at picking up the phone and speaking to the consumer get more work" - Nick is unequivocal about this. You can automate much of the enquiry management process but at some point you need to pick up the phone and speak to people, he adds. Tackling criticism often leveled at comparison sites around the quality of leads, F4LPlus say they have firms converting 20%+ of their leads such are the verification stages the software requires, including creating an account, going through an initial fact fine, including timescales and budget, and working with firms to create an efficient follow up process. Conveyancing is the testing ground for the new service, with Nick hopeful of expanding into other areas of law in the future. The Today's Conveyancer podcast can be found on your preferred podcast provider and also at www.todaysconveyancer.co.uk.

Queensland Tops, Victoria Drops

It's long been the case that the two most populous states, New South Wales and Victoria, have attracted the highest levels of property investment – just by sheer weight of numbers. But Victoria has lost its spot among the big two of property investment and is now being overtaken by Queensland. Meanwhile, Queensland now leads the nation is overall real estate transactions, including purchases by both home-buyers and investors. This is despite Victoria having a population of 7 million, versus 5.5 million in Queensland. It provides further evidence that investors are deserting Victoria because of the raft of anti-landlord measures from the State Government, with more still to come. And that Queensland is where buyers are all kinds are heading. Analysis of ABS figures shows that, a year ago, 26 per cent of investor loans were for Victoria properties and around 22 per cent for Queensland. More recently, the balance has shifted with Victoria dropping to 23 per cent of investor loans and Queensland continuing to rise. Money.com.au says investors are abandoning Victoria for several reasons, including Victoria's additional taxes on investors, and are flocking to Queensland. Home Loans expert Mansour Soltani says: “Queensland is emerging as the new promised land. It has everything property investors look for including a strong local economy, population growth, expanding regional markets and ongoing infrastructure projects.” Queensland is leading the nation with a 36 per cent year-on-year increase in investor loans, compared with the national average of 21 per cent.  Regional markets such as Townsville, Bundaberg, Rockhampton and Gladstone are offering low entry costs and above-average rental yields. Soltani also says: “Queensland is not only leading investor activity — owner-occupied loans in the state grew by 12 per cent year-on-year, while no other market grew by more than 6 per cent, and New South Wales saw no growth.” Realestate.com.au reports that nearly $40 billion was spent on residential property in Queensland in the past quarter, with the state recording the highest number of home sales in the country in the last three months. Brisbane's median dwelling price has also extended its lead over Melbourne's — climbing to $885,000 in October, while Melbourne sits at $780,000, according to CoreLogic. New figures from digital settlements platform, PEXA, show over 48,000 home sales were finalised across Queensland in the September quarter, with home buyers spending $38 billion — 27 per cent more than the same period a year ago. The postcodes with the highest number of home sales in the three months were found in Toowoomba, the Gold Coast and Mackay. Homebuyers also moved to regional coastal areas such as Bargara near Bundaberg and Urangan in the Hervey Bay region, as well as new housing development areas in Logan City and Ipswich City on the fringes of Greater Brisbane.

Today, we're diving into a topic that's making waves in the property market. I'm joined by Julie Toth, Chief Economist at PEXA, to discuss the findings of their 2023 Cash Purchases Report, which sheds light on a startling trend: over a quarter of residential properties in Australia's eastern states were bought with cash in 2023. These cash buyers were immune to interest-rate heights and in a market typically swayed by mortgage rates and lending criteria, so together with Julie, we'll explore the implications of this trend, the profile of these cash buyers, and what it all means for the future of the Australian property landscape. From potential impacts on housing affordability to the ripple effects on the broader economy, we're set to uncover some truly eye-opening insights.

He opens the episode with the obvious question, "What is settlement?" Did you know that settlement dates are completely negotiable? And did you know that some people conduct their own conveyancing?, (although the Trio don't recommend this, as it involves a lot of risks and responsibilities.) If you do your own conveyancing, you will need to research what is required and the relevant legislation. Like real estate licences, they are state and territory based. Cate shares some of the challenges associated with cheap, unreliable conveyancers.Physically, how does settlement happen? Cate and Dave weigh in, and Dave explains how settlements hinge firmly around the broker and the banks. Settlement day is a bit of a magical event. Cate talks through the parties who are involved, how long the actual settlement takes, how it's facilitated and how conveyancers conducted settlements before our online portal, PEXA existed.What is an “ideal” settlement day? What does it look like? The Trio canvas the steps and the paperwork required to get to settlement. From legal transfers to 'funds to complete', bank loan documentation certification and pre-settlement inspections. There are many steps that are important in the lead up to settlement day.When are short settlements advantageous? And why would a buyer consider making a short settlement? Cate explains that many buyers think that a shrewd offer with a short settlement is the key to tough negotiating, but sometimes this isn't the best way to drive a good bargain. What can go wrong at settlement? Tune in to find out! What causes delays? Dave and Cate step through a range of issues that can threaten a smooth settlement, from finance to lost titles, to late subdivisions, caveats and lost titles. There are many elements to manage and be aware of when it comes to property settlements.What happens if the purchaser is at fault and can't give the vendor confidence that they can settle? The answer to this question can be quite ugly, but it's important that purchasers appreciate the gravity of the situation when it comes to obtaining finance in time. And let's assume settlement goes to plan.... what are the next steps? Dave steps listeners through the nitty gritty that borrowers should check straight after offset to make sure they are on course with their mortgage strategy and loan facilities. .... and our Gold Nuggets! Mike Mortlock's gold nugget: "Don't do it yourself! And book the truck for the day after settlement!"Cate Bakos's gold nugget: "Make sure you've got a really good checklist!

Equities rose in the US on Friday but recorded a losing week across the key indices as investor fears of further rate hikes out of the Fed strengthened on the back of weaker-than-expected initial jobless claims data released earlier last week. The Nasdaq and S&P500 both posted their first weekly losses in 3 weeks losing 1.9% and 1.3% respectively while the Dow Jones fell 0.8% over the week. Shares in e-signature company DocuSign fell 3.7% on Friday despite the company posting earnings that topped expectations and strong guidance for the third quarter.Over in Europe, markets closed slightly higher on Friday as investor sentiment is sliding on renewed inflationary concerns in the U.S., alongside weak Chinese economic data and stronger government bond yields. The STOXX600 rose 0.22% on Friday, Germany's DAX added 0.14%, the French CAC lifted 0.62%, and in the UK, the FTSE100 rose 0.49%. The rally on Friday was also due in part to the release of final eurozone figures for economic growth showing the economy grew 0.1% in the second quarter which was lower than the 0.3% growth economists were expecting in a sign interest rate hikes are having an impact in cooling the economy.Locally on Friday, the ASX200 fell 0.2% weighed down by materials and consumer discretionary stocks being sold off while some of the losses were offset by strength in the utilities sector.For the week, the ASX200 fell 1.67% with every sector closing in the red aside from energy stocks which were boosted by the rising price of oil on the back of output cuts from Russia and Saudi Arabia.Polynovo led the winning stocks on Friday with the healthcare company adding over 3% while Lake Resources and Pexa each jumped 2.7% and 2.57% respectively. Sayona Mining tumbled 4.55% on Friday despite the lithium miner announcing it reached the major milestone of shipping the first lithium oxide concentrate and generating maiden cash proceeds from its North American Lithium operation in Quebec.What to watch today:Ahead of the local trading session here in Australia the SPI futures are suggesting the ASX will open 0.06% higher to start the new trading week in the green.On the commodities front this morning, oil has retreated to trade 0.52% lower at US$87.05/barrel, gold is flat at US$1919/ounce and iron ore is down 0.85% at US$116.50/tonne.AU$1.00 is buying US$0.64, 93.95 Japanese Yen, 51.25 British Pence and NZ$1.08.Stocks trading ex-dividend today include Chorus (ASX:CNU), CSL (ASX:CSL), HUB24 (ASX:HUB), Terracom (ASX:TER) and Pepper Money (ASX:PPM). If you've been thinking about these stocks it might be worth considering buying in today as stocks trading ex-dividend generally trade lower on the ex-dividend date.Trading Ideas:Bell Potter has decreased the price target on AMA Group (ASX:AMA) from 26cps to 15cps and maintain a buy rating on the leading accident repair group in Australia following the release of the company's FY23 results including revenue falling slightly below Bell Potter's forecast at $869.6m. FY24 guidance was reiterated and the company also announced a $55m capital raise.And Trading Central has identified a bearish signal on Reece (ASX:REH) following the formation of a pattern over a period of 24-days which is roughly the same amount of time the share price may fall from the close of $19.24 to the range of $17.70 and $18.00 according the standard principles of technical analysis.

In the face of soaring property prices and an ongoing housing crisis, the conversation around property affordability has expanded beyond first home buyers and now encompasses the rental sphere. Despite interest rates on the rise, property prices continue to climb, leaving many wondering how long this upward trend will persist. The root of the issue lies in the scarcity of supply, with listings at an all-time low and little indication of improvement. While supply on the rental side poses an even greater challenge, requiring years of rectification and substantial investment, the consequences for dual income families struggling to secure housing are dire. It seems that the housing crises have outgrown the capacity of governments to handle alone. Is Australia's property market, which has been deemed "too big to fail," possibly too big to fix? In this thought-provoking episode, we delve into a discussion with Evan Thornley, CEO of LongView, and Jane-Frances Kelly, Head of Strategy & Insights at Longview, who have dedicated considerable time, energy, and resources to understanding the underlying causes of Australia's housing woes. Longview, in collaboration with Pexa, recently released a series of three housing affordability Whitepapers, with the third installment offering potential solutions to the identified housing crises. Tune in as we explore the innovative thinking and fresh perspectives brought forth by Evan Thornley and Jane-Frances Kelly as they shed light on the complexities of Australia's property market and the urgent need for collaborative efforts among all stakeholders, including governments, community housing providers, and the private sector. Join us as we uncover the proposed solutions that could help alleviate the housing challenges faced by individuals and families across the nation. Can a breakthrough be found amidst this housing turmoil? Discover the insights, ideas, and potential solutions that could shape the future of Australia's property landscape. Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Welcome 08:34 - Rhetoric surrounds individual landlords, both pro and con. 13:45 - What are some solutions for the overall market? 20:36 - What lending-level changes would make this model more attractive? 26:04 - How does the $2.1 trillion invested in residential property unlock more investment? 30:00 - Why don't we have existing residential property funds like this? 36:43 - How do you identify properties with high land content and values? 41:18 - Medium rise is the cheapest housing form. 46:55 - What are your thoughts on the power of the labor market? 50:40 - Investors hinder first-time homebuyers' opportunities. 55:57 - What's happening in the home loan space? 1:02:14 - The importance of scalable, effective solutions. About Our Guest: Evan Thornley is a technology and social entrepreneur who, with 30 years of property investment experience in Australia and the US, has been dedicated to finding solutions for Australia's housing problems for the past seven years.

My guest in this episode is Tony Tadros the managing partner of SaleFish which is a self described Transaction Service Engine that joins the dots between a CRM and Pexa in the house and land companies. Tony had a career in real estate selling land packages before embarking on a tech solution to solve some of the pain points he regularly experienced. And in one of those weird coincidences, it was during this time he discovered that a Canadian firm was on a similar track and so the two collaborated and he is now responsible for launching SaleFish in Australia. Sales and land in Australia is an $8.2 billion dollar industry and it combines all the pain of buying a property with the double whammy of then dealing with the stress of building. So. Much. Fun!! So it's no surprise that this sector is seeing a surge of innovation. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theproptechpodcast/message

My guest this week is one of my most favourite people on the planet and a woman I am proud to call a dear friend - the amazing Kylie Dillon from Real Time Conveyancer. Real Time Conveyancer is a new startup that delivers an end to end transaction and customer management system for Conveyancers. Kylie has extensive experience in this field, with more than 19 years running her own conveyancing group, KDD Conveyancing in Perth, plus two years consulting with PEXA on the digital settlement universe doing a strategic analysis of how it impacted conveyancing. It was at Pexa that she met her co-founder for Real Time Conveyancing, Mike Price and the two of them took a wild trip to Las Vegas to attend the INMAN Connect conference in 2019 where their thinking for their startup became real. In this interview - which we did back in late December - Kylie talks about the disruption happening in the conveyancing space, the need for better conveyancing experiences for buyers and sellers and the challenges of getting a startup with such a big vision up and running, while also raising capital. What I did not realise - nor, I think did anyone - is that while all of these things were going on - Mike had been diagnosed with a very aggressive cancer, and heartbreakingly, he passed away in January. So at the end of the interview, Kylie and I grabbed a second moment to remember Mike who was truly both a fantastic CTO and absolute rockstar of a bloke - and you'll have to forgive us as we get a bit teary. But here to tell us all about it, Kylie Dillon welcome to the Proptech Podcast! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theproptechpodcast/message

When independent Non-Executive Director Cheryl Dixon is asked what Board she is on, her answer is often met with raised eyebrows. With just under three decades of sales leadership and operational experience with NAB, and now a senior executive heading up PEXA - an Australian online property exchange network which supports the property industry as it transitions towards digital conveyancing - Cheryl's first Board role with the Queensland Rifle Association came as a surprise to her as well as those around her. While she admits to being a massive sports fan  - “I could sit and watch sport seven days a week,” - she was never into firearms and doesn't shoot. But as she tells Claire in this podcast, two years ago she jumped at the chance to join the Board - becoming the Board's first independent NED in the organisations' 160-year history. “The club has a mountain of history and it's been quite a journey,” says Cheryl, of her role in helping modernise the organisation. In this podcast Cheryl - who started at NAB straight after high school - talks about how on-the-job knowledge and experience gained in her professional career has translated into the boardroom, particularly around the issues of governance, structure, organisational reputation and member participation. “You can be 12 or 112 in target shooting, and people also have very different views on guns.” She also talks to Claire about her Board future, how her professional career complements her Board work, and what she's learned from Women on Boards about joining sports boards. As she says: “I've never said no to any opportunity that comes around.. It's about getting on the front foot and controlling your own destiny.” LinkedIn: Cheyl Dixon | Claire Braund (host) Further Information: WOB membership, events & services, please visit our website.

The FinTech Report Podcast: Interview with Kimberley Gaskin, Director, Six Black Pens Fuel for growth: Foundational Strategy the key to scaling up successfully Six Black Pens is an independent, strategy-led creative communications agency that's all about smart, effective work. They are specialists in complex business and set out to understand, decode and define – to simplify without diluting. Clients have included NAB, MLC, Aware Super, Ignition Advice, PEXA and AGL. Their unique value proposition to clients is “We make the complex beautiful”. In this episode of The FinTech Report Podcast, Kimberley discusses the importance of foundational strategy to FinTechs when starting out and scaling up, and how Six Black Pens approaches foundational and other communications strategies through the lens of Behavioural Economics. Among the topics covered, Kimberley explains: ·       Why FinTechs, when they begin to scale up, need to change their communications strategy to effectively target a consumer and not an investor audience.  ·       That Six Black Pens considers its best work to be its most effective work – that is, work that delivers on a business goal for the client but at the same time delivers value to the client's customers. ·       Why Behavioural Economics should be the foundation for any marketing, advertising or communication with a customer.  ·       How System 1 (fast, automatic) and System 2 (slow, considered) thinking drive consumer behaviour and how understanding customers' unconscious biases leads to more effective communications. ·       How SBP expertise in Behavioural Economics – and a strategy based on 5 key behavioural nudges – helped Australians take charge of their superannuation. ·       Why it's vital to select the best channel for your audience's level of digital comfort – and why that channel must be optimised for its specific audience. ·       That every communications strategy must have hard metrics baked into it to measure success against. ·       The importance to FinTechs of thinking about foundational strategy right from the beginning – that is, the building blocks of your identity, your message, your communication, your customer value proposition and your audience segmentation. ·       Why FinTechs must get the customer onboarding experience right – and the building blocks needed to achieve this. ·       What FinTechs and traditional banks can learn from one another and why this new ecosystem is better for customers and Australia. If you'd like to be taken through a sector specific insights presentation focusing on the value of foundational strategy for FinTechs you can contact Helen via email: helen 'at' sixblackpens 'dot' com  Our thanks to Australian FinTech News and Envestnet Yodlee for their support of The FinTech Report Podcast.

The wild world of small caps has enamoured investors and punters alike since the dawn of time. Case in point, if a friend asked you to name your best stock pick, I'm almost certain they don't want to hear about BHP - they are after a small-cap.  These companies excite investors because their size means that they can grow multiples faster than their big cap cousins, and the lack of media coverage makes sorting through the company reports and Livewire articles all the more worth it when you find that gem. So to ease up your search, we brought in the experts.  In this episode of Buy Hold Sell, Ally Selby is joined by Nathan Hughes from Perpetual and Mike Murray from Australian Ethical. The trio discuss four small caps on the rise, including Integral Diagnostics, Nitro Software, PEXA and Blackmores. And to top it all off, our fundies have each brought along one small-cap with big potential. Note: This episode was filmed on Wednesday 15th September 2021.

Anna-Carin Olin, adjungerad professor i arbets- och miljömedicin, har utvecklat en metod för att mäta utandningsluft: PExA – Particles in Exhaled Air. Vi pratar med Anna-Carin om hur det går till att utveckla ett nytt instrument och vägen från idé, till verktyg i forskningen, till instrument för att under söka patienter. Anna-Carin berättar att det finns ett stort behov av att kunna göra en enkel analys av de mikroskopiska partiklar som finns i vår utandningsluft. Det ger en bild av hur det är ställt i de små luftvägarna och kan användas för att tidigt upptäcka sjukdomar som startar i de små luftvägarna, till exempel kronisk obstruktiv lungsjukdom, astma och lungfibros.
