Chilcotts Solicitors secures Law Sociery's new quality mark

CHILCOTTS SOLICITORS SECURES LAW SOCIETY'S NEW QUALITY MARK Chilcotts Solicitors in Tavistock has secured membership to the Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme - the mark of excellence for the home buying process.

Chilcotts Solicitors underwent rigorous assessment by the Law Society in order to secure CQS status, which marks the firm out as meeting high standards in the residential conveyancing process. Law Society President John Wotton said that the Law Society introduced CQS to promote high standards in the home buying process.

"CQS improves efficiency with common, consistent standards and service levels and enables consumers to recognise practices that provide a quality residential conveyancing service.

"Buying a home is one of the largest purchases anyone will make in their lifetime, so it is essential that it is done to the highest standard by a solicitor. There are many different conveyancing service providers out there, making it difficult for home buyers to identify those which can ensure a safe and efficient level of service."

David Wilde says: "Chilcotts Solicitors is delighted to have secured CQS status. It is recognition of the high standards we provide to our residential property clients and is a signal to future home buyers of the excellent service level we provide at what is often a stressful time for many people."

"The overall beneficiaries will be clients who use Chilcotts Solicitors when buying or selling a home. They will receive a reliable, efficient service as recognised by the CQS standard."

The scheme requires practices to undergo a strict assessment, compulsory training, self reporting, random audits and annual reviews in order to maintain CQS status. It is open only 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.

"This is one tough challenge....

Cornwall to Paris in a week - on a push bike!

Mission Accomplished!

David Wilde, one of eighteen brave and willing cyclists, set off from Launceston Rugby Club on Sunday 26th June, headed for Paris in aid of the Cornwall Downs Syndrome Support Group.

The first stint of the journey took them to Plymouth where they boarded the overnight ferry to Roscoff, arriving at around 7am on the Monday. The team then made their way across France, towards Paris, where they arrived on the afternoon of Friday 2nd July. They experienced unseasonably hot weather with temperatures hitting over 36 degrees in the afternoon.

The cyclists concluded their journey by negotiating the world famous Arc de Triomphe roundabout before stopping at the Eiffel Tower for a well-earned cool drink. They enjoyed a celebration meal in Paris on Friday evening and returned to Roscoff (by train!) on Saturday afternoon. Then they caught the ferry back to Plymouth, which arrived at 6.30am on Sunday, 4th July.

Mike Armstrong, whose own daughter Nicole has Downs Syndrome, has been organising the event for the last eighteen months, with the hope of raising over £12,000 for the Cornwall Downs Syndrome Support Group. The money will go towards the charity's target of £50,000 for its Special Fund; a trust being set up to benefit youngsters across Cornwall with Downs Syndrome, who will be leaving main stream education and entering the young adult world or further college education. The grant aims to help and encourage those youngsters to lead a more fulfilling and independent life, and supporting them along the way is a key challenge for the local Cornish charity.

David would like to thank everyone for their support and generosity by giving to this well deserved charity. It's not to late to make donations via www.cdssg.org.uk or by using the JustGiving link: http://www.justgiving.com/David-Wilde
