Lyons Bowe Conveyancing Delays Survey
Lyons Bowe commissioned a survey of 1,046 recent UK homebuyers, finding that 42% saw conveyancing as the biggest obstacle to a smooth property transaction, ahead of property chains at 19%. The research gave the firm a timely media hook to discuss buyers’ frustration with slow communication and limited visibility during the process.
Why it worked: It quantified a counterintuitive villain—conveyancers over chains—using fresh, specific percentages from 1,046 recent buyers to reframe blame with data.
The lesson: Consider fielding a quick, statistically robust poll that surfaces an unexpected scapegoat in a familiar process, then pitch the surprising ranking.
