Pengillys secures Law Society's new quality mark

Pengillys Solicitors of Weymouth & Poundbury, Dorchester has secured membership to the Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme - the mark of excellence for the home buying process.

Pengillys 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.

Law Society President John Wotton said that the Law Society introduced CQS to promote high standards in the home buying process.

"CQS improves efficiency with common, consistent standards and services levels and enables consumers to recognise practices that provide a quality residential conveyancing service."

Stephen Jones, Principal of Pengillys says: “Pengillys is 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”.

“The overall beneficiaries will be clients who use Pengillys when buying a home. They will receive a reliable, efficient service as recognised by the CQS standard."

The scheme requires practices to undergo a strict assessment, compulsory training, self reporting, random audits and annual reviews in order to maintain CQS status. It is open only to members of the Law Society who meet the demanding standards set by the scheme and has the support of the Council of Mortgage Lenders, the Building Societies Association, Legal Ombudsman and the Association of British Insurers.

Pengillys also hold The Law Society’s prestigious Lexcel Quality Accreditation and Investor In People in recognition of their commitment to quality and client care.
