The Conveyancing Quality Scheme will provide a recognised quality standard for residential conveyancing practices. Achievement of membership will establish a level of credibility for member 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. This scheme will create a trusted community which will deter fraud - year on year it will drive up standards.

The Scheme is scheduled to start running in April 2011. There is little doubt that the scheme will create a two tiered grouping of conveyancing solicitors: those with the accreditation and those without. If this scheme turns out to be similar to the Duty Solicitor Scheme then solicitors' firms who are not members of the scheme can expect to see an enormous dimunition in work.

We have put together a course that you can watch when you want from anywhere to make you completely aware of the scheme's implications and how to apply.
