What does the CQS Mean for Residential and Commercial Conveyancing in Cardiff?

You may be aware that Freed & Co., one of the best and longest-running solicitors in the city of Cardiff, have recently had the honour of being one of the very first Cardiff conveyancing teams to be accredited by the CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme). 

The achievement is fantastic news for Freed & Co., for their clients and for the standard of residential and commercial conveyancing, Cardiff wide. To date, only 4 Cardiff firms out of over 100 have earned the right to CQS accreditation. The speed with which we have managed to earn accreditation marks our conveyancing service out as one of the fastest and most efficient in the city. We hope our success will inspire other firms to raise the bar in residential and commercial conveyancing right across Cardiff.   

What Does the CQS Actually Involve in Terms of Residential and Commercial Conveyancing?

To earn a place on the CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) applicants must tick a whole host of very stringent boxes which ultimately prove the following things:

• True Integrity
• Exceptional Practice Management Standards
• Real Prudency & Efficiency

By proving our firm meets these criteria within mere six months, Freed & Co. have distinguished themselves as one of the best and fastest residential and commercial conveyancing solicitors Cardiff has to offer. In order to prove their adherence to these three qualities, conveyancing firms must sign the CQS client charter. The CQS client charter is a list of promises which the firm involved makes to every single client. To ensure the standard of conveyancing in Cardiff and beyond, the charter includes elements like:

• Service that adheres to the high-quality standards of the Conveyancing Quality Scheme
• Clear, prompt, polite, professional, honest and entirely transparent information and advice
• Accurate and up-front costs, explained from the outset

The purpose of this charter is to encourage and reward transparency, speed, efficiency, honesty and high-quality service in the fields of residential and commercial conveyancing.

We’ve just received some great news here at Freed & Co. We have long been regarded as one of the best firms for conveyancing in Cardiff and now our achievement has been recognised by the Law Society. Having accepted our application, the Law Society has already awarded us a place on the brand new CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme).

This is fantastic news, of the hundreds of firms who provide conveyancing in Cardiff, as of November 2011 only four are CQS accredited at this time. The CQS will soon be rolling out UK-wide but the fact that Freed & Co. have been so quick off the mark reveals them to be one of the most exceptional firms for conveyancing .

What is the CQS & What Does it Mean for Conveyancing in Cardiff?

The CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) is a UK-wide scheme designed to reward and encourage high standards, impressive competence and excellent levels of customer service amongst firms offering conveyancing in Cardiff and the rest of the country. In order to be awarded accreditation by the CQS, conveyancing teams must sign both the New Conveyancing Protocol and the Client Service Charter as well as meet very strict, stringent criteria which proves their skill.

The Client Service Charter is a very important document as it promises every single client that the conveyancing solicitor involved will provide:

• Exceptional levels of service, all of which adhere to the codes of conduct outlined in the New Conveyancing Protocol.
• Completely accurate, transparent and informative advice and information, delivered in a manner that ensures the client is completely confident in the processes involved.
• Up-front fees and costs, flagged up and explained from the start.

Meanwhile, the New Conveyancing Protocol is more of an inter-industry document, built to encourage and ensure the requisite high-standards in the world of conveyancing, and the rest of the UK too. Firms will only be accepted onto the CQS if they meet the hundreds of criteria and standards of behaviour laid out in the Protocol. 

As of November 2011 Freed & Co. are one of just four firms offering conveyancing in Cardiff who have already become accredited by the CQS – the impressive speed with which they have achieved this bodes extremely well for the pace and efficiency of their conveyancing service in general.

Here at Freed & Co. we hope our achievement will inspire other firms providing conveyancing in Cardiff to eventually apply and meet these all-important standards laid out by the CQS. A move towards regulated, consistently excellent service will allow conveyancing in Cardiff to flourish, providing top service to all clients who require conveyancing.

Until the CQS rolls out across all conveyancing solicitors, please make sure you always use a firm you can trust when you are looking for conveyancing. Freed & Co. have been providing services for conveyancing in Cardiff for over 35 years and the speed with which they have been accredited by the CQS shows them to be leaders in the local industry.
