We relied on our solicitor when we bought our property. Obviosly nearly 18 months later you sent us paperwork that should of been dealt with at the time. To find out we hadnt even sighned the deeds is not acceptable service.

Meh, wasn't great
Communication was great at the start. But as soon as conveyancing was underway, it became hard to get hold of them, and took a lot of pushing to get them to send documents on time, etc.
Typical house buying experience in many ways, but I certainly wouldn't use them again.

No the best experience
Unfortunately there was a complete breakdown in communication. I didn’t receive emails and when I asked for a written quote I was told it was in the original email but when I checked back it wasn’t.
In my original email I ask about two matters but on the day I was told the solicitor I had my appointment with didn’t do wills And I would have to come back. I had taken time off work assuming I could do everything in one visit. When I rang to check on the appointment I was told no one of the name I had worked in that office but it turned out I had been given a business card with the Ashford office number even though the appointment was in Hythe.

Having received advice following an initial meeting, you never responded to our request for your identification or to provide signed terms and conditions. We are required to obtain certain information from clients before we begin. Unfortunately you did not provide this information despite repeated requests so we were unable to assist further/

Unprofessional
Made mistakes and lack of explanation when selling my late fathers property, we had to rely on the estate agent for updates, the estate agents comments were the solicitor has dropped the ball and not for the first time.

House sale and resettlement
Staff very easy to talk to, pleasant and professional. I would query the benefit of the app as this was not updated.
Keith Betts has been selected below as he supervised Catriona Williamson, who I dealt with.

Absolute rubbish
Worst solicitor ever. Never gave any information, took weeks to read our emails kept sending the same questions over and over. Dragged on for 7 months and we lost the sale.
Pitiful!

The sale on this matter did not proceed on the decision of the seller. The delays resulted from a complex personal situation that was beyond our control.
