Leading Midlands property law firm Sydney Mitchell is proud to announce that it has gained membership to the Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS) - the mark of excellence for the home buying and selling process for legal firms.

It is an essential requirement of property law firms to have this accreditation. Increasingly mortgage lenders look for firms who provide high quality and standards; Sydney Mitchell underwent scrupulous assessment by the Law Society in order to secure CQS status, showing the high standards we set in our residential conveyancing process. This provides a higher level of credibility with regulators, lenders, insurers and of course our clients.

We are delighted to have secured CQS status. It is recognition of the high standards we provide to our residential property clients and is a signal to future home buyers of the excellent service level we provide at what is often a stressful time for many people.

Our clients will benefit from our gaining of this accreditation; all who use Sydney Mitchell to buy or sell their home know they will receive a reliable, efficient service as recognised by the CQS standard and are in a safe pair of hands.

Adam Oleskow, Partner at Sydney Mitchell

Law Society President, John Wotton, said that the Law Society introduced CQS to promote high standards in the home buying process.

CQS improves efficiency with common, consistent standards and service levels and enables consumers to recognise practices that provide a quality residential conveyancing service.

Buying a home is one of the largest purchases anyone will make in their lifetime, so it is essential that it is done to the highest standard by a solicitor. There are many different conveyancing service providers out there, making it difficult for home buyers to identify those which can ensure a safe and efficient level of service.

John Wotton, Law Society President 

The scheme requires practices to undergo a strict assessment, compulsory training, self reporting, random audits and annual reviews in order to maintain CQS status. It is open only to members of the Law Society who meet the demanding standards set by the scheme and has the support of the Council of Mortgage Lenders, the Building Societies Association, Legal Ombudsman and the Association of British Insurers.
