Why 70/100, 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 Tameside incomplete. The establishment in Tameside is counted (8 points). Missing: pages of the firm's website about Tameside, the number of deals completed in Tameside 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.
Frequently asked questions
Which firm does Payotte select as conveyancer in Tameside?
Payotte selects Harold Stock & Co Solicitors as conveyancer in Tameside, with a score of 70/100 (selected · regulator declared).
Do I have to use a solicitor?
GOV.UK says you can do your own conveyancing, though a legal professional normally handles it.
Is a licensed conveyancer the same as a solicitor?
Not the same regulator or title. The CLC says a licensed conveyancer can do everything a solicitor can in a conveyancing transaction.
How does Payotte choose this firm?
Payotte selects a single firm per trade and per area, scored out of 100 points from public data. The public grid has five criteria: Google reviews (35 points), age of the company (30), checkable regulator or register (15), local anchoring (15) and bonus (5). Companies only, never individuals.
Can a firm pay to be ranked?
No. The ranking is never paid for. No firm can buy its place or its recommendation. Payotte is free, with no advertising and no commission.
How can I check this firm's regulator?
The regulator or register is declared on the firm's website (no. 535629); Payotte does not read the register on your behalf. Check it with the official body: Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), solicitors register. The company number 07201476 can be checked at Companies House.
What does the score of 70/100 mean?
