Study COMP/2006/D3/003 Conveyancing Services Market

Abstract

The study consists of a general legal part, an economic part and case studies on four
countries (England and Wales, Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden), representing
different regulatory systems. The final conclusions summarise the key findings of the
study and develop some recommendations on de-regulation and reform of
conveyancing services regulation with a view to promoting greater choice and the
delivery of more cost effective legal services in conveyancing. Published alongside this
study are a set of "country fiches", which set out key legal and economic findings.
These served as a source of information for the study, although other sources have
also been drawn on.
