Search Acumen’s innovative tools play a key part in helping us to deliver an efficient, client-centric service. Streamlining tasks via the use of Search Acumen’s platform and products helps us to respond more quickly to clients’ needs and enables us to develop a more interactive relationship with them.
I love what you do. The innovative side of your business is second to none, which is very important to me. You provide everything I need, the platform itself is user friendly and if we have any questions, one of your team members is always there to help.
Having used Search Acumen at a previous firm, I was delighted when we started using them at gunnercooke too. Their solutions are brilliant. They have really good tech that allows you to get a snapshot of a property before starting the searches and also allows you to map out the titles being bought/leased.
The functionality that's in place is great and outshines anything we have seen in the market. The mapping functionality with all the different data layers is amazing, allowing us to immediately start our research, seeing roads, overlaying the map with google view and much much more, it truly is brilliant.
Search Acumen have designed a simple, easy to navigate, user friendly mapping and data platform, which makes due diligence for lawyers a smoother process.
During the process of setting up a new development transaction, I ordered an Illustrative Map as part of my title investigation which helped to identify a parcel of land my client owned but had forgotten about. Only by using the Illustrative Map and investigating the information was I able to identify this. Going forward I'll be recommending this product to all of my clients as part of every site set up.
I have found the new SA platform to be very in depth with far more capabilities and options than we had before. Furthermore, when ordering searches we find that we have far more autonomy in selecting various features or search criteria when ordering searches for our clients.
I have just prepared a Land Transaction Return to send to a client using your SDLT solution and I found it very straightforward and definitely quicker. This will save us so much time going forward.
More recently, we have become more involved in transitioning our clients to electronic onboarding and identification to meet modern expectations and to move with the times which Search Acumen has been instrumental!
I love your AP1 solution and I've been telling our partner how great it is. Since we’ve adopted it, the number of requisitions relating to inputting details we get has reduced. We also use your platform for other products which means I no longer have to rekey information into the system as it automatically pre-populates this for us! It’s a wonderful time saving and efficient solution.
I like that it prioritises my automatic notifications . It used to be a manual task which I don’t have to do anymore as the system does it for me. When I first started using your solution I referred to your FAQ section if I was ever unsure and was always able to find the answers to my questions easily.
