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.”

Client feedback

Fantastic service - super efficient, no nonsense, quick and communicative. I own and run a Leeds-based Estate Agency and we've tried and tested many many conveyancing solicitors and I can honestly say, Winstons (Samantha and team in particular) are amongst the best! Thanks so much for your help with my recent property sale!

I would highly recommend Winston Solicitors! I was referred by my cousin who also had a fantastic experience. I can’t thank Samantha and Joe enough for their services from day one. They made the whole house buying process feel clear and much less daunting, which I particularly appreciated buying on my own for the first time. They were very responsive and went above and beyond to ensure that I completed on the day I had hoped. The attention to detail in the enquiries was particularly appreciated. Thank you!

Was assisted by Samira Cakali cannot fault her advice one bit. Knew exactly what steps to take to ensure a quick, clean and lucrative exit. I would recommend Winstons Solicitors to anyone seeking advice or action regarding employment law.

Winston’s were easy to engage and provided clear and transparent information on the process and upfront costs. Once engaged they were responsive and simple to work with. In particular Sidraa was excellent to work with, she was quick to respond and helpful. I was very appreciative of the efficiency and pace with which we progressed.

I found Winstons to be a highly professional, efficient and compassionate firm of solicitors. The original estimate of fees for dealing with a complex probate matter including the sale of a property and dealing with inheritance tax proved to be very close to the final amount charged. At all stages throughout the process I was kept well informed of progress and was consulted whenever necessary. All correspondence was polite and pertinent, and my wishes were acted upon promptly. I would have no hesitation in recommending Winstons to others and would readily use their services myself in the future should the need arise.
