Regret choosing Waterstone Legal
We approached Waterstone because their marketing materials boast of a professional service, with guidance and support for.forst time buyers.
The increased cost reassured us that we would be getting a good service.
We contracted them for a very simple house purchase with no chain, and Shah assured us it would not take long.
However working with Mahmut has been very stressful. For long periods he has ignored all emails and calls from both us and the estate agent. There have been numerous sloppy errors and factual inaccuracies throughout paperwork. On top of this massive delays, which are unexplained or even acknowledged.
The sellers are threatening to pull out due to the delays and still Mahmut will not respond.
I wish I had chosen another solicitor, and strongly recommend against using Waterstone based on my own experience.

We engaged Waterstone Legal for our conveyancing service as first-time
We engaged Waterstone Legal for our conveyancing service as first-time buyers, using a shariah-compliant mortgage provider. Our case was initiated by Mr. Shah Ali and later taken over by Mr. Mahmut, who efficiently saw us through to completion. Throughout the process, Mr. Mahmut provided reassurance when we had concerns and ensured that our mortgage offer was extended to meet the vendor's preferred completion date. Thanks to his efforts, the extension was approved by the lender without any issues. We recommend them for their exceptional service

Mahmut and the Waterstone Legal team supported me with the sale of my previous home and the purchasing of my new home. They were professional and efficient. I really liked that I could follow the progress and understand the potential next steps of my home purchase and sale via their app. I would recommend their services.
