Good, speedy and processional service which is what you want.
Dear Donna. Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear you were happy with the speed and professionalism of our service. That’s exactly what we aim to deliver, and we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
Andrew Smith was our solicitor when we moved house last year. He and some of his team were difficult to contact, unhelpful to the point of rudeness, and demonstrated a lack of competence that caused us a great deal of stress and put the move at risk. Given our experience, I am amazed at the positive experiences that others have had, and that anyone can have anything good to say about Andrew. Requests for progress reports were difficult to obtain, frequently defensive, and often involved us being told that they were waiting on us to do things that we had not previously been informed we needed to do. We received essentially no useful advice or support with the process, nor information regarding what next steps would be, all of which made things far more stressful than they needed to be. Attention to detail was poor. On occasion we were given incorrect information (for example that we needed to transfer a six-figure sum before the end of the day, rather than five days hence). This added further stress, and the aforementioned difficulty getting in touch with Andrew and his team to obtain the correct information further compounded this. When the week that we and the vendors had agreed for completion arrived and we hadn't heard anything from Andrew and his team, it took us several days to get in touch with anyone. We eventually found out that Andrew was on holiday that week. The completion date had been communicated to him multiple times, and at no point did he mention plans to go on holiday. This significantly delayed our process. On one occasion we were directly lied to, when a member of Andrew's team told us that the sale of our previous property was being held up by a bank not supplying a figure that had been requested. When we contacted the bank ourselves we were told that no one from Taylor Bracewell had been in contact with the bank in months, but that the bank was happy to supply the requested figure, and did so immediately. When we raised this with Andrew he did not acknowledge any misconduct, and simply said that "The figure has now been received." Three months after moving we received an email from a debt-collection agency, claiming that we owed hundreds of pounds in unpaid fees, interest, and late-payment charges to Taylor Bracewell. When I contacted Taylor Bracewell this was variously explained as an administrative error and a data leak, and I was verbally told that the email was in error and we didn't owe anything. I have since received confirmation of this from the debt-collection agency, but (as of three weeks later) have heard nothing about this since from Taylor Bracewell, nor have I received the paper or email confirmation of this, which I requested and was told would be sent as a matter of urgency.

This review was submitted by a verified client of Taylor Bracewell Law Limited.
Our remortgage/freehold reversion/transfer wasn't as straightforward as to be expected, with the freeholders solicitors taking an exceptionally long time to respond, however, Andrew and his teams persistence paid off and matters were brought to a very satisfactory conclusion. My emails were always responded to the same day - usually by immediate return. Thanks to Andrew and his team.

We bought out first house using Taylor Bracewell. Andrew was very helpful and super responsive whenever we had any questions or needed any help with anything, he was there to answer them. I would recommend Taylor Bracewell to anyone looking to purchase a property.

Hi Lucy, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a 5 star review! We're really glad you were happy with the service you received. I'll be sure to let Andrew know. Many thanks Abbie
I can wholeheartedly recommend this firm, all staff were extremely helpful and my solicitor, Mr Andrew Smith went above and beyond to assist me with my purchase. There were inconsistencies in the paperwork submitted by the seller which caused numerous problems, Mr Smith assisted me with each single one. He was meticulous, accurate and potentially saved me thousands of pounds in the future. I am immensely grateful for the hard work and care I have received from Taylor and Bracewell.

Thank you for leaving us a review! I'll be sure to let Andrew know.
After hearing stories about how arduous the conveyancing process is, we weren’t very optimistic. However, the service we received from Andrew Smith was fantastic. He promptly replied to emails and telephone queries and kept us updated throughout the process. From offer to completion, he ensured that everything ran smoothly. We would absolutely use Taylor Bracewell again.
