CQS enables consumers to identify solicitor firms who provide a quality residential conveyancing. Spalding is one of the many areas in England and Wales in which accredited firms have a presence.

Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to join their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
