Good news if you’re moving! Perhaps you’re being bamboozled by clickbait news headlines, dodgy internet how to’s or estate-agent-speak or maybe you’re a first time buyer or haven’t moved for a good few years.

The government has published three seriously useful guides that you can download here:

How to buy a home

How to sell your home

How to lease (extra information for buying or selling leasehold flats and houses)

Law Society Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS)

Our specialist solicitors are accredited under CQS. The Law Society launched the CQS scheme to help consumers make an informed decision about who to instruct to assist them with residential property work.

The primary aim of the scheme is to help the public avoid advisers that are unregulated, uninsured and untrained. The scheme is also used as a badge of trust, relied upon by lenders as well as other accredited firms.

Achieving the CQS accreditation shows that we follow best practice procedures to meet the highest standards of technical expertise and service helping clients with property work.
