We are a member of the Childrens Order Panel and have solicitors who are specialists in dealing with all Children’s Law matters. We are a Home Charter Scheme Firm. The Home Charter Scheme was introduced in Belfast originally to meet the needs and interests of the public by ensuring that consistent good quality conveyancing practice was promoted. The Scheme is essentially a quality assurance mechanism directed primarily at processes. Compliance with the Scheme produces positive benefits in several different respects. It improves client satisfaction and reduces the risk of omission. The value of the Scheme has been widely acknowledged and has become the norm for the residential domestic conveyancing process. The promotion of good practice and uniformity of processes works to the overall benefit of clients.
