Association of Leasehold Enfranchisement Practitioners

CQS is a Law Society scheme that provides a recognised quality standard for residential conveyancing practices. Membership establishes a level of credibility for firms with stakeholders (regulators, lenders, insurers and consumers) based upon:

• the integrity of the senior responsible officer and other key conveyancing staff
• the firm's adherence to good practice management standards
• adherence to prudent and efficient conveyancing procedures through the scheme protocol
The Scheme creates a trusted community which will deter fraud and year on year will drive up standards., We are delighted that following the refurbishment of our London Road office in Southampton, not only do we have a beautiful building, which is light and airy and provides an ideal collaborative and relaxing environment to work, rest and play in, but the refurbishment has been awarded a Gold SKA rating for sustainability. Below are the aspects that we measured along the way to arrive at such a great achievement:
• Waste reduction
• Lighting Design
• Indoor air quality and VOC reduction
• Wellbeing and social impact
• Sustainable materials and furniture
• Water conservation
