Article 15 – AI Capability has arrived. Adoption is now the whole contest
Summary
The article argues that agentic AI is now capable of materially changing legal and conveyancing work, but the main barrier is organisational adoption rather than technology. It highlights conveyancing as a sector under sustained capacity pressure, where firms may gain most from redesigning workflows around delegation, trusted data and verified review.
Why it matters
Residential property surveyors work closely with conveyancers and depend on the quality and speed of transaction processes. Any shift toward AI-enabled conveyancing workflows could affect turnaround times, information quality and the handling of property data across transactions.
Key points
- Agentic AI is presented as a proven capability, with adoption varying more by team redesign than by tool quality.
- Conveyancing is described as having a structural capacity crunch, making efficiency gains especially valuable.
- Successful use of AI depends on trusted inputs, provenanced data and verified rules, not just model selection.
- Senior judgement should be redirected from routine production to delegation and review.
- Late adopters may be able to move quickly by using established playbooks.
