The conveyancing file, carried to completion.
Synapse is an agentic layer for residential property transfer. It carries a matter through its stages, from opening the file to registration, and hands each decision back to the authorised professional at the point the law asks for a signature. The firm keeps control and keeps the record. The file stops waiting on someone to pick it up.
Most of a conveyancing file is reading and judgement. Scripted automation only ever reached the edges.
A file is unstructured and no two read alike. A script runs the structured steps and stops where judgement begins, which is most of the work. The reading was always the work, and a script could never do it.
Synapse reads the documents and carries the file in full, while a person holds each point that binds. It sits on the systems you already run, so nothing is ripped out.
The cost is in the waiting, and the waiting keeps growing.

Much of that time is the file waiting rather than legal work being done. Synapse keeps it moving and holds the hard deadlines, while the firm signs at every point that binds. For a careful practice, the safer move is no longer to wait.
The whole file, between the points that need you.
Synapse works within a mandate your firm sets. It prepares each stage and records its reasoning, and every consequential or legally significant step is taken by a person. Two of these are formal sign-off gates.
Opens the matter and gathers the identity and source-of-funds evidence, flagging anything that needs the firm's check before work begins.
carriedIdentifies the searches the matter needs and prepares the order for the firm to place. It reads the results as they return, drafts the enquiries to the other side for the firm to send, and chases the replies as they fall due.
carriedReads the register and the title documents, assembles the picture, and flags the points that need the fee earner's judgement.
carriedDrafts the report and the client correspondence in the firm's own format, with the evidence attached and ready to review.
your sign-offPrepares the completion statement and the figures, tracks the chain and the deadlines, and surfaces what is slipping.
your sign-offPrepares the tax return and the registration application for the firm to submit, and closes the matter with the record intact.
carriedAsk where a matter stands, and get a straight answer.
Synapse is carrying the files, so it knows where each one has got to. Anyone in the firm can ask, in plain words, and it answers from the matter itself, at any hour.
It reports and shows the evidence behind each reply. The judgement, as ever, stays with you.
Built for England and Wales, and the EU.
The architecture is the same on both sides of the Channel: a matter carried between the points where a person must decide. The law it answers to is not the same, so Synapse adapts to the chain in front of it and leaves a complete, audit-ready record the firm or the notary owns.
Solicitor or licensed conveyancer
Conveyancing's legal core is a reserved activity, and the Legal Services Act already provides for prepared work to be done under the supervision and direction of an authorised person. Synapse sits in exactly that place, doing the assembly and the chasing while your authorised professional directs and signs.
The gate sits with your solicitor or licensed conveyancer.
Civil-law notary
Across most of Europe the transfer is executed by a civil-law notary, who runs the title and encumbrance checks, holds the funds, executes the deed and registers it. Synapse carries the file up to that execution. The Netherlands is the natural first market: the Kadaster is fully digital and the notarial role is clearly drawn.
The gate sits with the notary.
Synapse makes no reserved decision and does not handle the funds: it prepares the matter, and your professional acts. The work runs under our ISO 27001-certified information security management system, aligned with the GDPR and UK GDPR, with data processed where the engagement requires, in the EU, in-region, or on-premise, and not retained. Every step is logged, so the firm keeps a complete audit trail and full conduct of the file.
Everything moves, except the decision.
The same holds whether your firm runs files in-house or a provider runs them on your behalf.
