Law firm wins quality stamp for anti-fraud conveyancing work

A YORKSHIRE firm of solicitors has secured a top accolade for the quality of services it provides home buyers and sellers.

The specialist team from Milners has been re-accredited by the Law Society for membership of its Conveyancing Quality Scheme.

The endorsement comes after Milners’ conveyancing experts - based at Whitehall Waterfront in the Leeds with sister offices in Harrogate and Pontefract - demonstrated to trained assessors they could meet. and beat, a set of strict criteria.

This included the way the practice protects clients from potential fraud - recognised as a growing problem for the wider property sector.

The quality standard is also an endorsement of the solicitors’ approach to keeping pace with best practice; maintaining high levels of technical expertise and client service; and offering ultimate reassurance to regulators, lenders and insurers.

Simon Bass, managing partner of Milners, said: “Thanks to the skills of our team, we are delighted to have underpinned our status as conveyancing experts that clients can trust.

“This is a best practice quality mark that guarantees homebuyers and sellers complete peace of mind in what, for many, is the biggest financial transaction they will make in life.

“It ensures our standing in a trusted legal community that is at the heart of deterring fraud, continually driving up standards year-after-year across the residential conveyancing sector.

“Achieving CQS status is independent proof that we have the sector knowledge and expertise to deliver the best advice, providing all the information clients need to understand the process, options, costs and timescales from the very outset.”
