A RINGWOOD law firm has been re-accredited to the Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS), regarded as the mark of excellence for the home buying process.

Ellis Jones Solicitors is one of 2,909 practices across England and Wales to receive the quality mark. The scheme requires firms to undergo a strict assessment, compulsory training, self-reporting, random audits and annual reviews.

It is only open to members of the Law Society who meet the demanding standards set by the scheme and has the support of the Council of Mortgage Lenders, the Building Societies Association, Legal Ombudsman and the Association of British Insurers.
