Winston Solicitors secures Law Society's new conveyancing quality mark

Winston Solicitors are amongst the first in the country to secure membership to the Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS) - the mark of excellence for the home buying process. The accreditation gives an assurance that the Roundhay firm meets the high standards the Law Society have set for the conveyancing process.

The scheme is open only to members of the Law Society and is supported by the Council of Mortgage Lenders, the Building Societies Association, and the Association of British Insurers. We underwent a strict assessment in order to become members of CQS, and all our conveyancing staff receive regular training to ensure we are up to date with developments in conveyancing. In order to maintain their status, firms with the CQS mark are subject to ongoing monitoring, which includes audits and annual reviews.

Law Society President Linda Lee has explained that the Law Society introduced CQS to help to recognise high standards in the home buying process and deter fraud in the residential property market. Jeremy Conway, Head of Conveyancing at Winston Solicitors, said, “We are delighted to have secured CQS status. Our conveyancing clients have the benefit of knowing they can expect high standards and an efficient level of service from our firm.”

Review for Wendy – Family Law Services at Winston’s Solicitors, LeedsI recently had the pleasure of working with Wendy from Winston’s Solicitors in Leeds on a family law matter, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From our first consultation, Wendy was incredibly professional, empathetic, and thorough in her approach. She took the time to fully understand my situation, providing clear and concise advice at every step of the process.Throughout the entire case, Wendy was always available to answer any questions I had, and she made sure I felt supported and informed. Her knowledge of family law is exceptional, and I felt confident in her ability to handle my case. She was transparent about all costs, keeping me informed of any developments along the way.What truly stood out to me was her attention to detail and her ability to navigate what was a very emotionally charged situation with sensitivity and care. Wendy was not only a skilled professional but also genuinely understanding of the emotional impact of my case, which made a huge difference during a stressful time.Thanks to Wendy’s hard work and dedication, I was able to reach a favorable outcome, and I am incredibly grateful for her support. If you are looking for a compassionate and experienced family law solicitor, I would wholeheartedly recommend Wendy at Winston’s Solicitors.

I am very thankful to Winston solicitors for helping me complete on my sale and purchase in just a couple of months. Communication was frequent, and I could always get hold of them when I needed to. The InTouch app was a brilliant feature for me to be able to track the sale.When the solicitor I was assigned went off unexpectedly, my case was still dealt with efficiently. Amanda and Joe were particularly good at keeping things moving, and keeping me in the loop, and I’m very thankful to these two for chasing and getting the sale through so quickly.I would recommend using Winston’s, and would use them again myself in the future.
