Residential Property

People move house on average once every 7 years - an experience that can be one of life’s most important and stressful times.

Dutton Gregory LLP have been helping our clients buy, sell and let property for over 50 years, and believe our expertise and experience will help ensure a successful move every time.

We have received accreditation from the Law Society and have achieved membership of their Conveyancing Quality Scheme - the mark of excellence for the home buying process.

The firm underwent vigorous assessment by the Law Society in order to secure CQS status, which marks it out as meeting high standards in the residential conveyancing process.

The former Law Society president, Linda Lee, stated that CQS was introduced to help people recognise high standards in the home buying process. It 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 their solicitor.

We consider it a recognition of the high standards that we provide to our residential property clients and is a signal to future homebuyers of the excellent service Level we provide to our clients who will receive a reliable, efficient service as recognised by CQS standards.

The CQS standard is only open to members of the Law Society and to those who meet the demanding standards the scheme sets, and it has the support of the Council of Mortgage Lenders, the Building Societies Association, Legal Ombudsman and Association of British Insurers.

Our computerised case management system also provides us with economies of scale in conveyancing - which means services at a reasonable price. In addition, we have produced a number of leaflets including a Guide to Buying and Selling which are available free of charge.
