A new launch by Rightmove founder and former Countrywide CEO Harry Hill sees the property business entrepreneur take on the solicitors, with an interesting online conveyancing product aimed at making the legal side of a property purchase more transparent. It's called in-deed, and it looks something like a digital UI between you (the buyer) and your solicitor... a place to go to get access to a vetted property lawyer, and then an interface where you're guaranteed updates at least every two days and clear communication showing exactly where you are in the process. There's also a price guarantee... they'll stick to the quote, and work on a no-completion, no-fee basis, which is significant in the property market's current climate. Sounds interesting. (Phil Spencer's set to promote the service, when it starts a serious advertising campaign in the autumn.)
