Traditionally the profession talks about ‘Conveyancing’ services, which is the term used to describe the process of transferring land property/buildings from one person to another. At Salmons we try to improve on this and provide you with a service that helps to manage the process of moving you to your new home.

Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme
We were one of the first firms of solicitors in Staffordshire to be awarded membership of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme.
To become a Member Firm of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme a firm of solicitors has to pass a number of additional quality checks and investigations to confirm that the service level is satisfactory. We are also retained upon a significant number of lender panels and can therefore act for your mortgage company too in the vast majority of cases.
Modern Technology and Modern People
We live in a world where speed is important, and getting things done at the right time is the key to success. We take a co-operative approach with other solicitors and other professionals and try to make sure everyone has the information they need to make speedy, accurate decisions. We use fax, email and sophisticated computer systems to streamline the process and make sure all the information is readily available, and up-to-date.
Perhaps most importantly you will have a solicitor and an assistant two or three member team who will deal with your case personally and will keep you informed of progress, as it happens.
Moving house, and conveyancing, is not a secret, mysterious process. We are more than happy to answer any questions you may have, whenever they may occur – just ask.
Your house is probably your biggest asset – so you deserve the best advice and we aim to provide it. We are not the cheapest firm, because our files have so much solicitor-lead input, but experience means smooth, and smooth means fast.
