Description

In this episode of the Legal Sector Resilience Podcast, Legal News Wales Editor, Emma Waddingham, is joined by Angela Hesketh, Head of Market Development at PEXA UK, to explore how digital innovation is transforming property transactions across England and Wales.

PEXA UK, the pioneering platform behind the UK’s first fully digital property purchase, recently secured FCA authorisation and is preparing for its full market launch into sale and purchase transactions later this year. Angela shares her perspective as a dual-qualified conveyancer, discusses why this moment represents a pivotal shift for the profession, and explains how PEXA is working with regulators, industry bodies and law firms to create a more efficient, secure and collaborative property ecosystem.

Together, Emma and Angela unpack:

• What PEXA’ UKs platform actually does and why it matters
• The lessons learned from Australia’s digital property transaction journey
• How Welsh conveyancers can engage early and shape the future of digital workflows
• Practical considerations for firms navigating regulatory pressures, client expectations, and operational change

If you want to understand what the next era of conveyancing will look like—and how to prepare your practice—this conversation is essential listening.
