Cabinet Office Minister, Francis Maude, has announced that 192 quangos and public bodies will be scrapped and 118 merged. Of particular interest to commercial practitioners is the announcement that the OFT is to be merged with the Competition Commission following a consultation by the Department of Business Innovation and Skills (BIS) and, in particular, that the OFT's consumer protection powers will be devolved to local trading standards authorities. It remains to be seen whether trading standards authorities have the resources and expertise to challenge the behaviour of traders nationally or cross-border, or to produce guidance on new legislation.

I appointed Winston’s as conveyancers for both the sale of my existing home, and purchase of my next one. Sidraa and Tom were fantastic, working with pace and always responsive by email and/or when I called. It was far more seamless than I anticipated and I was incredibly impressed with their efficiency and communication. Thank you!

I found Winston Solicitors through, of all places, a post on Reddit from property flippers. They had great reviews on it and being a trusted person, did my due dilligence and checked Google too. I wasn't disappointed. I had been dealing with Amanda, Tom and Sidraa throughout my sale and purchase. I felt like I had the best team all the way through. Nothing got passed them and they were always prompt, helpful and friendly from start to finish. Sidraa certainly had her work cut out and she made me feel like they had my back and my interests at heart. Please don't be put off by using solicitors miles away. Most of this can be done online nowadays. It's all so easy to do. I don't want to move anytime soon but, if I have to, I will be using Winston Solicitors again and preferably the same team! Thank you all.
