Stapleton & Son have been accredited to the Law Society's prestigious Conveyancing Quality Scheme - the mark of excellence for the home buying process.

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

The Law Society introduced CQS to help to recognise high standards in the home buying process.

“CQS 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.”

James Buxton says: "Stapleton & Son are delighted to have secured CQS 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 level we provide at what is often a stressful time for many people”

Government figures have recently been released showing tens of millions of pounds worth of property fraud has taken place since the Land Registry introduced open public access and disposed of the requirements for a physical title document. It is becoming increasingly clear that the Registry may in certain circumstances seek to avoid its liability under the Government's guarantee of registered titles and seek instead to foist the blame upon individual owners or their solicitors.
