The Law Society has recently introduced a scheme to award accreditation to Solicitors' firms who can demonstrate a high level of knowledge, experience, skill, experience and practice in conveyancing.

Firms of Solicitors undergo a rigorous examination, and those who pass are awarded the CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) award, which is subject to an annual re-application, to ensure the firm is up to date; staff are up to date with current law and procedure; and the firm is compliant with the Law Society's criteria.Mir Solicitors were the first lawyers in the city to be awarded this prestigious kite mark.

Buying a house is one of the biggest investments most people will ever make, and it can be stressful. This is why it is important for you to understand the procedure and what your Solicitors can do for you, what the steps involved are, and how long it will take, as well as the costs involved.

Here at MIR Solicitors, we will ensure firstly, that you understand the conveyancing process, and secondly that you are kept fully up to date with your transaction.You or the seller's estate agent tell us about the house/ flat you intend to buy. The Buyer's Solicitors will check the contract and Title, prepare the Transfer, carry out any necessary searches, and make any further enquiries required.

Buying a property at an auction follows a different process to the one we have set out above. There is no process of exchanging contracts in your own time after a careful examination of the paperwork - the parties are legally bound when the hammer falls - whether or not enquiries have been made. The deposit (and any auctioneer's fee) is payable by the Buyer on the day, and the completion date is often agreed to take place 28 days later.

If Leasehold, making appropriate enquiries with the superior landlord and managing agent, including to ensure there are no arrears of service charges / ground rent, and ascertaining if notices need to be served on the landlord/ managing agent.
