Our ethical conduct is governed by the Law Society of England and
Wales, which has exceptionally strict rules of conduct and compliance
compared to most countries. If English lawyers do not comply with
the rules and regulations governing their conduct they may be struck
off thus denying them their livelihood.
Whilst we pride ourselves in our accuracy, we carry very substantial
professional indemnity insurance, for your peace of mind. If, unthinkable
as it is, anything did go wrong, we are fully insured, accountable
under English Law, whatever country we are dealing with, in English
Courts. Whilst some overseas lawyers voluntarily carry professional
indemnity insurance, many don't, potentially leaving you liable
to loss.
In England, lawyers have to keep client money safe in a separate
bank account from their own, ensuring that their client's money
is always secure. This rule may not apply in some countries meaning
that your money is only as safe as the lawyer is solvent. Why put
your money at risk?
We quote our fees and costs before you make any commitment. This
means no nasty shocks and allows you to budget for the total cost
of purchasing your new home.
We guarantee that, if we act for you and recommend completion, title
to the property is good, marketable and free from encumberances.
