Andrew Jacobs Conveyancing provides legal services to the house and property market. Whether you are buying a house for the first time, moving home, selling or buying land and buildings in either the residential or commercial sector, we can carry out the legal work for you.
We strive to provide a quality service to all clients. If you are concerned about any aspect of the service we provide which you are unable to resolve with the person dealing with the work, please contact the principal about it and we will put in place a complaints procedure in accordance with the requirements of our governing body the Council for Licensed Conveyancers of We Work 131 Finsbury Pavement London EC2A 1NT, the statutory authority which regulates all Licensed Conveyancers by practice rules made under the Administration of Justice Act 1985. You should first write to the principal director Mr Andrew Jacobs setting out your concerns who must then try and resolve your complaint within 8 weeks. If the principal’s response is not satisfactory and you remain dissatisfied with any aspect of our handling of your complaint you may contact the Legal Ombudsman an independent organisation with powers to resolve complaints about legal services. A complaint can be referred to the Legal Ombudsman up to 6 months after you have received a final response from ourselves. It can also be referred to the Legal Ombudsman up to six years from the date of the act or omission or up to 3 years after discovery of the problem. The Legal Ombudsman deals with service related complaints (any conduct related complaints are dealt with by The Council for Licensed Conveyancers). The Legal Ombudsman can be conducted on telephone number 0300 555 0333. The full address of the Legal Ombudsman is P.O. Box 6806 Wolverhampton WV1 9WJ. For more details please view the website at www.legalombudsman.org.uk.

These have been set up pursuant to the European Union directive on Consumer Alternative Dispute Resolution. The Department for Business Innovation and Skills has confirmed the following ADR entities are available to deal with disputes in the legal services sector: Ombudsman Services, Pro Mediate and Small Claims Resolution. Details of how to contact these organisations can be found on the Trading Standards website.
