A leading Shrewsbury law firm has become the first in the County town to be awarded a new quality mark from the Law Society.
Wace Morgan Solicitors, based in Belmont, has secured membership to the Conveyancing Quality Scheme - the mark of excellence for the home buying process.
The firm underwent rigorous assessment by the Law Society in order to secure the status. Society president Linda Lee said that the scheme was introduced to help to recognise high standards in the home buying process.
She explained: “The Conveyancing Quality Scheme improves efficiency with common, consistent standards and service levels and enables consumers to recognise practices that provide a quality residential conveyancing service.
"Buying a home is one of the largest purchases anyone will make in their lifetime, so it is essential that it is done to the highest standard by a solicitor. There are many different conveyancing service providers out there, making it difficult for home buyers to identify those which can ensure a safe and efficient level of service.”
Debby Gittins, partner at Wace Morgan, commented: “We are delighted to have secured this status. It is recognition of the high standards we provide to our residential property clients and is a signal to future home buyers of the excellent service we provide at what is often a stressful time for many people.
“The overall beneficiaries will be clients who use Wace Morgan when buying a home. They will receive a reliable, efficient service as recognised by the new standard."
The scheme requires practices to undergo a strict assessment, compulsory training, self-reporting, random audits and annual reviews. It is open only to members of the Law Society and to those who meet the demanding standards the scheme will set and has the support of the Council of Mortgage Lenders, the Building Societies Association, Legal Ombudsman and the Association of British Insurers.
