Conveyancing Quality Scheme Toolkit

Description

The Law Society Conveyancing Quality Scheme is the quality standard for residential conveyancing practices. Accreditation under the scheme provides assurance to lenders, insurers, consumers and clients.

The Conveyancing Quality Scheme Toolkit helps residential conveyancing practices to understand, implement and maintain the CQS protocol, and to comply with the core practice management standards (CPMS) that must be followed by all practices within the scheme.

The fourth edition of the Toolkit has been fully revised and updated and aligns with:

the Conveyancing Protocol 2019; the latest CPMS, published in February 2022; the new mandatory procedure to ensure that applications are checked before being sent to HM Land Registry (7.4 CPMS); the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017; the SRA Standards and Regulations 2019 and the UK General Data Protection Regulation. Template policies and documents are also included for customisation.
