Switching to Digital AP1s

Are you happy with the digital AP1 solution you are using? If the answer is no, then we urge you to watch our demonstration at HM Land Registry's Digital Applications Showcase.

Search Acumen have a proven and trusted solution in place for both residential and commercial lawyers. It's the most utilised platform in the market, transacting over 5,000 AP1 submissions per week.

Here are some of the features highlighting why it is so popular:
  • AP1 dashboard - Integrated with Land Registry, our dashboard is a clear and simple way to work through requisitions, minimise delays and finalise transactions.
  • Pre-populated form completion - Faster and more efficient completion reduces the risk of discrepancies and time delays.
  • Filtered submission requirements - Pre-filtered smart forms speed up the completion and submission process, only seeing sections relevant to the case, reducing a labour-intensive process.
  • SDLT5 automatically attached - Reducing time spent on admin.
  • LMS Integration - Integrated technologies offering a simplified and automated upload process.
  • Currently, across the industry up to 80% of AP1 submissions involve uploading physical paper documents, swallowing up unnecessary time and risking inaccuracies.
