Why 81/100, 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 Merton incomplete. The establishment in Merton is counted (8 points). Missing: pages of the firm's website about Merton, the number of deals completed in Merton 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.

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.
