Terms of use
The CMS website is designed to enable clients to access
conveyancing and other
related services. All legal work is referred to the CMS panel of solicitors and
licensed conveyancers (CMS undertake no legal work themselves). By using this
website to obtain quotations and request legal services you are accepting the
terms and conditions applying to the CMS website. If you do not agree to these
terms and conditions you should not use the CMS website for legal or any other
related services.
By accepting the estimate for conveyancing fees
you authorise CMS to refer your transaction to an appointed panel
solicitor / licensed conveyancer to undertake the work. You have been notified
that you are free to instruct another solicitor of your choice and that there is
no obligation for you to instruct the appointed solicitor.
You confirm that you have not already appointed a solicitor to deal with the
transaction nor do you wish to do so. The legal fees given on this website apply
only to standard conveyancing transactions and do not apply to such legal work
over and above the usual conveyancing services i.e. dealing with a defective
title or lease etc. The additional cost of any such items will be notified to
the client directly by the panel lawyer. If your transaction is cancelled for
any reason you will still be responsible for any disbursements (such as
searches) which have been paid out on your behalf by the panel lawyer. When you
agree to proceed CMS will request a deposit which can be taken by credit or
debit card. This will be deducted from the balance of monies owing by you upon
legal completion of your transaction as notified by the panel solicitor. Should
the transaction not proceed to completion the deposit will be automatically
transferred to any subsequent transaction. Deposits are not transferable to
transactions on behalf of third parties i.e. friends or relatives etc. Should
there not be a subsequent transaction within twelve months of taking the initial
deposit CMS can at their discretion refund the deposit less a fifty per cent
deduction to cover administration fees. Unless you notify CMS or the appointed
panel solicitor to the contrary you give permission for the panel lawyer to
communicate all relevant information concerning your transaction to Conveyancing
Marketing Services Ltd who may include this is progress reports to relevant
third parties.
By accepting
the CMS quote and paying the initial deposit you are authorising CMS to instruct
the solicitor on your behalf. Because the nature of the service means that work
will commence immediately you agree to waive your right under the Distance
Selling Regulations to a 7 day cooling off
period.
Your acceptance of any CMS conveyancing quotation confirms that you have read
understood and accepted the above terms and conditions.
