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.
