Why 71/100, and not 100?
The points below are not deducted: they are not yet awarded, for lack of a public source to check them. Payotte neither estimates nor invents any data.
- Local anchoring in Cheshire West and Chester incomplete. The establishment in Cheshire West and Chester is counted (8 points). Missing: pages of the firm's website about Cheshire West and Chester, the number of deals completed in Cheshire West and Chester in the last twelve months, the firm's working languages or speciality. A figure such as the number of deals completed in an area only exists at the firm.
- No checkable distinction found (award, press mention, publication, association). Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
- Regulator stated without an identifier. The firm's website names the SRA, without a number you can check yourself.

Do I have to use a solicitor?
GOV.UK says you can do your own conveyancing, though a legal professional normally handles it.

Not the same regulator or title. The CLC says a licensed conveyancer can do everything a solicitor can in a conveyancing transaction.
