CMS Service Charter

At CMS low prices do not mean that we compromise on service. We have been successfully providing conveyancing services since 1995 and our long experience has enabled us to perfect the technology required to provide a fast, efficient service at the lowest prices on the internet today.  

We aim to provide a professional and friendly service that you can trust. We do not use legal jargon or complicated sales ploys.  All of the solicitors on our panel have signed up to the Service Charter set out below. CMS monitor the progress of each and every transaction from start to finish. Our unique case management software has been designed to alert you by e mail or SMS text message as each stage of the transaction is reached.  The CMS system also sends out an alert to you and your solicitor when the next key stage is due to ensure that there are no delays.  CMS provides a free telephone/ e mail helpline for any problems or queries.
