Woodstock Legal Services secures Law Society's conveyancing quality mark

Carly Jermyn • September 30, 2021

Woodstock Legal Services in Poole, Dorset has secured membership of the Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme - the mark of excellence for the home-buying process.  


Woodstock Legal Services underwent rigorous assessment by the Law Society in order to secure CQS status, which distinguishes the firm as meeting high standards in the residential conveyancing process. 

Law Society President Andrew Caplen said that the CQS accreditation is the hallmark of high standards and establishes a level of credibility for regulators, lenders, insurers, and consumers.

"CQS is the quality mark of the home-buying sector and enables consumers to identify practices that provide a quality residential conveyancing service. With so many different conveyancing service providers out there CQS helps home-buyers and sellers seek out those that can provide a safe and efficient level of service."

Carly Jermyn, Director and Solicitor says: Woodstock is absolutely delighted to have secured CQS status. Buying and selling a home can be really a stressful time. We have a fantastic team of property lawyers, and by looking for a CQS firm like Woodstock Legal Services the public can seek out a firm that has proved its commitment to quality. 

“The overall beneficiaries will be clients who use Woodstock Legal Services when buying a home. They will receive a reliable, efficient service as recognised by the CQS standard." 

So what's changed?

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.


Kerry Parsons, Consultant Property Lawyer with Woodstock Legal Services says: I am very proud to have joined a fabulous team of property lawyers and even more delighted that we have now achieved the CQS accreditation. The Conveyancing Quality Scheme highlights the high level of service we can and will continue to offer our clients and their lenders. We can now assist on even more mortgage matters so look forward to hearing if we can help you with a residential property purchase or mortgage.
