Why 75/100, 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 City of Kingston upon Hull incomplete. The establishment in City of Kingston upon Hull is counted (8 points). Missing: pages of the firm's website about City of Kingston upon Hull, the number of deals completed in City of Kingston upon Hull 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?
