We’re proud to share that our Residential Property team has once again been accredited by The Law Society under the Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS), the trusted quality mark for property solicitors.
This accreditation means our Liverpool and Wirral conveyancing team follows strict standards, gives clear advice, and guides you through every stage of your move, from offer to completion.
It means you’re guaranteed to receive expert guidance, transparent communication, and a smooth, stress-free experience throughout your property transaction.
What is the Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS)?
The CQS is a national quality standard set by The Law Society for solicitors who handle property transactions.
To achieve it, firms must meet high standards in the following areas:
- Risk Management – keeping your transaction secure
- Client Care – putting your needs first
- File & Case Management – staying organised and efficient
- Information Management – protecting your data
- People & Financial Management – ensuring strong systems and accountability
We also follow the CQS Client Charter, which promises clear explanations, transparent costs, and regular updates throughout your move.
Do mortgage lenders require CQS for their panels?
Yes. Many major lenders, including Nationwide, HSBC UK, Santander, Metro Bank and more, only work with CQS-accredited firms.
Why does that matter? If your solicitor is on your lender’s panel, your mortgage and conveyancing can move forward together, avoiding delays and extra paperwork and additional costs.
How does CQS help home buyers and sellers in Liverpool and the Wirral?
For you, using our CQS accredited team means:
- Predictable processes
- Better communication
- Thorough checks on property searches and legal documents
Our team combines this framework with local knowledge and friendly advice. We keep you informed at every step of the way, working closely with estate agents, lenders, brokers, HMRC and Land Registry to make your move as smooth as possible.
What does reaccreditation involve in 2025?
Reaccreditation means proving we still meet CQS standards and keeping our team trained on the latest rules and risks.
This year’s update covers important changes like:
- UK Finance Handbook updates
- Trading Standards guidance
- Building Safety Act
- Leasehold reform
- Climate risk advice
Our team constantly stays up to date with changes, so you can move with confidence.
