6 tasks with us. Everything else is with the other side, the client or a third party.
01
Choose purchase, sale, or remortgage — the stage list is ready, and you can adjust it to fit how the deal actually runs.
02
Every stage is owned by someone: your side, the other side, or a third party like the lender or Registers of Scotland — so it’s always clear who needs to move next.
03
A separate, plain-English version updates automatically. Your client sees progress without seeing a word of jargon, and without ringing you to ask.
04
Missives, the date of entry, and completion are always front and centre, not buried in a thread.
Clients don’t want more detail — they want to know things are moving. The client view strips away legal terminology and internal notes, and shows only what a buyer or seller needs: what’s happening now, what’s coming next, and the dates that matter. Pick a stage and watch both sides move together.

We’re checking everything about the property.
We have the paperwork for 12 Hyndland Street and are going through it properly. Right now we’re waiting on the other side before we can move to the next stage. We’ll update this the moment that changes.

This page only shows where things stand — it isn’t legal advice, and it won’t change anything on its own. If you have questions, your solicitor is only a call away.
Stage templates reflect how Scottish transactions actually run — missives conclude, observations are raised and replied to, the disposition goes for revisal, and settlement happens on the date of entry — with room to support other jurisdictions as the product grows.
“I stopped writing update emails in March. The clients are calmer than they have ever been, and I know at nine o’clock what is actually mine to do.”
Each solicitor logs in securely, and firms only ever see their own transactions — never another firm’s book of business. Row-level access controls keep every transaction’s data scoped to the people who should see it, and a full audit trail records who changed what, and when.
MatterLink tracks and shares the status of a transaction. It does not provide legal advice, carry out conveyancing work, or guarantee any outcome or timescale — that responsibility remains with the solicitor.
No. It’s a shared status layer that sits alongside your existing systems. A read-only Clio connection is planned, so matter details can be pulled in without re-typing them.
No. It shows the status of stages that solicitors control and update. All legal work, judgement, and advice remain entirely with the solicitor.
No. The other firm sees only the shared stages relevant to the transaction. Internal notes never appear in their view, or in the client view.
Yes. Stage templates reflect how Scottish transactions actually run — including missives and the date of entry — with room to support other jurisdictions as the product grows.
You can invite them to join the shared record for that transaction. Until they do, your side of the record still gives your client a clear, up-to-date view.
Solicitor accounts require secure login, and access controls mean each firm sees only its own transactions. Every change is logged in an audit trail.
Billed annually, exclusive of VAT. Unlimited transactions, unlimited client views. No charge for the firm on the other side of your deals.
