Regulation and Accreditations
Choosing a solicitor means trusting one, and trust should be capable of being checked. Everything on this page can be verified independently, and we have given you the links to do it.

We hold the Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme accreditation, the recognised standard for residential conveyancing covering technical competence, risk management and client service. We also hold Lexcel, the Law Society's practice management standard, which is awarded following independent assessment of the firm's management, client care and risk procedures, and which is reassessed periodically.

If something goes wrong

Notarial practice
Notarial services are provided separately through Trent Notary Limited, which is regulated through the Faculty Office of the Archbishop of Canterbury rather than by the Solicitors Regulation Authority. Full details appear on our Notary Public page.
