I used Mounteney in the purchase of my flat recently. Anna was very friendly, helpful and proactive. Whenever I had a query she was contactable and she was clear in her communication. All correspondence from her side was dealt with promptly. An excellent service.

I am nothing but impressed with the service that Mounteney have provided to me. Specifically Ian McKenna at the Heald Green branch. I obtained a simple fixed fee quote (with entirely predictable disbursements) for a conveyancing process. A few niggles cropped up but Ian advised me through these additional pitfalls and engaged in additional correspondence with the other party's solicitor, without any mention of additional costs. So the highly competitive and surprisingly low fixed fee costing was honoured and the process was streamlined and crystal clear throughout.What was most impressive was that while the other party's solicitor found cause to create significant week long delays in taking action, each time that they contacted Mounteney, then I had an email within hours.Once I had signed then the transfer was complete before I had driven home.If you are looking for absolutely clarity and a streamlined process, then if my experience is anything to go on, you will be in safe hands.I am happy to strongly recommend their service. 5 stars from me!!

We recently sold and bought a new property, Anna B was our solicitor (both sale and purchase). Our chain was very long and there were several factors causing issues and delays. Anna and the team at the Cheadle branch, worked very hard to ensure the success of the chain. My husband and I are extremely grateful for all their hard work and support throughout the process - which at times was stressful! We would highly recommend.

I can not speak highly enough of Anna Beavers at Mounteney, she helped us with our recent house sale and purchase, when I say helped, she guided us through it expertly, explaining things as went along, Anna was very professional but also down to earth and kept us up to date with progress. One thing that stood out for us was how responsive Anna was, ALWAYS getting in touch when she said she would, emailing back very promptly to enquiries, chased other conveyancers when needed, this was a huge positive for us and made the whole experience so much better than we thought. Thank you so much Anna!

I have dealt with a number of solicitors during the last few years and I think that Mr. Ian McKenna is by far the best solicitor I've ever worked with.He is very efficient, he has an outstanding expertise, and he has a very high level of professionalism. All these qualities make him a great person to deal with.I really appreciate how he handled my property purchase from start to finish and I will definitely use his services again.

Anna Beavers was our solicitor and she was excellent. Very responsive via email/call, gave good advice, navigated the challenges of sale/purchase well and managed to complete a purchase in 6 weeks! She went the extra mile to make sure we could complete so quickly. We were so glad we went with her, service was top class. Thank you Anna!

Description

Any FCA authorised entity must appoint an Authorised Person to act as primary liaison with the regulator. Acting as an FCA Authorised person (in FCA jargon, discharging an SMF29 role) can be an administratively onerous role for many reasons, not least the peculiar language the regulator adopts, and the multiplicity of obscure IT systems they require you to operate. For these reasons many authorized firms prefer to have an expert as their Authorised Person / SMF29.

By this service one of our experts will hold appointment as your FCA liaison officer, including making your regulatory returns

How long will it take?

We don’t generally do anything for new clients until our process of client retention has concluded – this involves agreeing the scope of what we are doing for the price (our terms are below), setting-up our client record (that includes ID checks), and producing the bill (payment in advance is required for all new clients).

Acting as your authorised person is an on-going appointment; the original appointment is typically made on registration – but an application after registration normally takes the FCA about a week to process.
