IBB welcomes HSBC panel decision
16th May 2012IBB Solicitors welcomes the decision by HSBC to backtrack on its restriction on clients to use only its narrow panel of solicitors for conveyancing.
Head of IBB’s private client group, and residential conveyancing partner Gillian Outram comments: “This is a victory for consumer choice. Homebuyers can be confident in the quality of their conveyancer by choosing a firm with the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme mark, which guarantees integrity, good practice management, efficient conveyancing procedures and non-tolerance of fraud. We are proud to have been one of the first firms awarded this quality standard, and are delighted that HSBC’s customers can once more choose from the wider pool of CQS-accredited lawyers.”
