PERCY WALKER SECURES LAW SOCIETY’S NEW CONVEYANCING QUALITY MARK
Percy Walker in Hastings has become one of the first practices in the country to secure membership to the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme – the mark of excellence for the home buying process.
Percy Walker 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.
The Law Society introduced CQS to help to recognise high standards in the home buying process and deter fraud in the residential property market.
