Feedback on service provided

The solicitor never spoke to me. (not once) I was made to purchase a tracking software app, they used it initially, the last part (the bit I wanted sight of) they didn't bother using it. I had to send documents in several times. I had to chase for updates. I felt like I was doing all of the work. I had my sellers estate agent contacting me, as she was told my solicitor was too busy to respond to her questions. I was not impressed. I would not recommend or ever use again.

Amazing

Toni and Emily were absolutely amazing throughout our house purchase process. Their professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail were second to none. They kept us informed every step of the way, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and without stress. They were always approachable, quick to respond to queries, and went above and beyond to make the experience as seamless as possible. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to guide us through such an important milestone. Highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a reliable and supportive solicitors firm!
