They have made an appointment to see you today to instruct you on the purchase of a property 14 , Graveney Terrace , Tooting , London SW17 9HS. They have sent you the sales particulars of the property. You have quoted the clients a fixed fee of £2 ,000 plus VAT for your costson the purchase and also sent the them a list of the costs of the disbursements.  \nYou will see from the sales particulars that the property has recently been extended. As well as wanting us to handle the purchase , the clients have asked that we give them initial advice about the following:  \n􀀄if we can also act for the seller to save money on costs;  \n􀀄if they will need a structural survey; and  \n􀀄if they will be able to run their car washing business from the property.  \nI will be referring to your attendance note/legal analysis to write a letter of advice to the clients, so please be sure that it covers the advice we should give them about these issues even if you have covered this in the interview. Your attendance note should also cover all the usual matters: the facts, initial legal analysis, advice to the client, next steps, and of course any professional conduct issues that arise. Obviously if the Roebucks raise any other issues with you , make sure the attendance note also covers them and your advice about them, even if you have already covered this in the interview.  \n2781728689432064ea818ddfca22a9be_v2 1 © The University of Law Limited  \nSQE2  \n1 . Greetings – “Good Afternoon, Mr & Mrs Roebuck, my name is…., Iam a solicitor for ….. firm.”  \nPotential small talk to establish good rapport.  \n2. Opening  \n1.

(b) Outline the proposed structure of interview – The interview will begin by asking you some questions about the property to get a better understanding about the situation  \n3 . (c) Explain the cost of the interview and any other client care matters – Additionally, the cost is fixed at £2000 plus VAT, this is not inclusive of disbursements. A list of the costs of disbursements will be provided subsequently.  \nUnit 1  \nEngage Task 4  \nReview the following transcript of an interview conducted by a newly qualified solicitor, William Ross, and then:  \n1. Identify each stage of the ULaw interviewing structure in the interview  \n2. With the SQE 2 assessment criteria in mind , identify any errors or shortcomings which may make this a poor performance. Note down where the error was made in the transcript.  \nThere is some background information and the relevant law at the end of the transcript to assist you.  \nTranscript of Interview  \nWilliam: Good morning , Mrs Malone. I’m William Ross. Did you have any  \ntrouble finding us? Oh , do you need a drink?– Should have stated that he is a solicitor for   Firm  \n2781728689432064ea818ddfca22a9be_v2 2 © The University of Law Limited  \nSQE2  \nClient: No trouble at all , thank you. There’s no need for a drink thanks.  \nWilliam: Please sit there. My secretary tells me you’re here because you want  \nto establish who is entitled to your deceased mother’s estate.– Not phrased properly. It needs to be a closed question. The statement lacks empathy.  \nClient: Yes, my mother passed away suddenly, and I’ve had quite a bad  \ntime    \nWilliam: Brilliant.
