The Law Society has updated its Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS) forms, which are now available for immediate use, details of the changes are as follows:

CQS1(2023) - There is no change to the content of this form however the title has changed from File review to Standard file review. Replaces CQS2

CQS2(2023) - There is no change to the content of this form however the title has changed from File review to Standard file review. Replaces CQS3

CQS3(2023) - This form updates the Risk notice form and now includes the ability to record the probability of a risk occurring and the impact should the risk occur. Replaces CQS7

CQS4(2023) - This form has changes to the list of appropriate evidence of name and date of birth and evidence of address. Where a client has been identified as a politically exposed person the MLRO should now sign the form as indication of approval. Replaces CQS4

CQS5(2023) - This form provides a basic precedent for a new matter form and replaces the File risk assessment and conflict of interests check form (matter instruction form). Replaces CQS8

CQS6(2023) - This form has been updated to ensure that the MLRO completes the section about reporting to the NCA. Replaces CQS5

CQS7(2023) - This form updates the questions to take account of the changes to the government incentive schemes (Help to Buy: Equity Loan). Replaces CQS6

In addition, the Law Society has discontinued the CQS1 as its function is usually incorporated as part of a conveyancing case management system; it has therefore been withdrawn from the library to avoid accidental use.
