Countrywide Conveyancing Services | CWPL Property Lawyers based in Manchester & Cardiff: Review

Well, I'll start off this article with something very positive to say ... it's going to be short! Yes, if you've managed to drag yourself through some of my previous epics then I'm sure I'm not the only one happy for such to be the case. Usually there are several services, departments, previous setups, staff profiles, etc. that have to be covered when reviewing a law firm. But this time I only have to cover one thing - conveyancing.

Of course, with a name like Countrywide Conveyancing Services there was never going to be a bunch of hidden extras like Will Writing or Tax Advice. So time for me to stop waffling and get on with it. When you first arrive on any of Countrywide's websites (there are a few) you will usually be greeted with an opening paragraph such as this one:

The second statement could possibly be construed as an opinion or the kind of marketing language you've seen written on dozens of websites before. However, that first statement isn't just clever wording. Ad-speak is when you say "we're one of the largest", or "the largest conveyancing firm (*in Croydon)". So without the aid of *small print, does that mean they are in fact the biggest?

Well, whilst you may scoff at the source - Wikipedia agrees with them. Started in 1986, Countrywide is currently the UK's largest estate agency group employing over 11,000 people across more than 1,500 estate/letting agencies operating under almost 50 different brands. The CCS setup is the largest UK transactional conveyancing business based on completions - covering sales and purchases (freehold or leasehold), remortgages, and even separate legal representations.

Countrywide Conveyancing Services is a trading name of Countrywide Property Lawyers Ltd which is an Alternative Business Structure (ABS) regulated by the Council for Licensed Conveyancers. Alternative business structures were introduced back in 2007, but didn't actually get going until 2012. We believe it's mostly because of the media coverage initially coming out against the idea, dubbing it "Tesco Law" because it allowed non-solicitors to own and run a legal practice. This resulted in a poll asking people if they would use an ABS coming back with only 1% saying 'yes'. Fortunately, both the media and public perception has changed. To be honest, being a qualified solicitor doesn't make you an instant businessman and we saw reports that over a thousand law firms had to close their doors each year following the recession.

There are always other benefits of using a large firm, such as the technology they invest in. CCS is no exception with things like online case tracking and electronic ID checks. You also get multi-language support and:
