Andrew Moston
Andy joined Langley Wellington in 1996 to head up its conveyancing work having gained many years of experience at another Gloucestershire firm which has since merged with Langley Wellington. Prior to that Andy worked in the legal department of Nationwide Building Society.
In many ways Andy pioneered a lot of the conveyancing processes that we now take for granted. Co-operation with estate agents and access for clients to on-line case tracking were not always the basic every day procedures that they are now! Andy has always been very forward thinking and extremely customer focused which traditionally has always been a failing of many law firms.
Andy’s drive and vision of how to modernise the house moving process led him to open Cotswold Conveyancing Centre in 1999. His idea was to create a specialist, unique and dedicated department which would provide clients with a no nonsense straight forward and motivated approach to conveyancing at a time when very few solicitors specialised in just conveyancing and tried to split their disciplines.
Langley Wellington via CCC is one of the largest providers of transactional conveyancing in the area but with Andy’s original principles of providing good communication and client focused attitudes.
Andy himself carries out all aspects of property work and builds excellent relationships with his clients that last through many house moves.

Sharon joined Cotswold Conveyancing Centre in September 1999 at the point of its inception and has since that time been fundamental in the development and success of the department.
