Mason Thomas Law secures Law Society's conveyancing quality mark

Sheffield’s property law specialist firm, Mason Thomas Law has secured membership to the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme - the mark of excellence for the home buying process.

Mason Thomas Law underwent rigorous assessment by the Law Society in order to secure CQS status, which marks the firm out as meeting high standards in the residential conveyancing process.

Having the industry-recognised CQS standard assures home buyers that they will receive a reliable, efficient service from Mason Thomas Law.

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.”

Delighted to secure CQS status, Cathy Thomas, Director and Solicitor at Mason Thomas Law, said: “Having the industry-recognised CQS accreditation proves our commitment to quality, something I and the team have been focused on since the practice was established in 2019.”

The CQS 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.

Cathy added: “Achieving CQS status is yet another step in positioning Mason Thomas Law as the go-to firm for all residential and commercial property legal needs. We focus solely on property law and because of this we ensure that the process of buying or selling any property is as straightforward and stress-free as possible.”

Mason Thomas Law was established by Cathy Thomas and brings together a hand-picked team of legal professionals, who specialise in residential and commercial law as well as Secured Lending. All members of the team are committed to open lines of communication, teamwork and a shared ethos of getting the job done and doing things differently.
