From the beginning, trying to get in touch with my solictor was extremely difficult. Multiple emails from both myself and the vendors solictor were going unanswered, calling was also a nightmare being left on hole for 15-20 mins at a time. It got so bad with the delays and lack of communication that I had to change to a different firm or risk the deal collapsing as the vendors solicitors had lost faith that they would get to completion with Samera.

Wanted to share my experience with others, if you get Samera, find another solicitor we have had to disinstruct now due to a complete lack of response from Samera and team. reception do not go out of their way to relay messages like "I can take a message for you for her" instead they try to transfer you or suggest calling back later which if you do call back later you meet the same looped responses of it being transferred then it goes back to reception for them to simply just try to forward the call again instead of offering alternative options like "we can relay a message to her for you" which when we demanded that we leave a message instead for her to call us seemed to have done the trick as she called a few hours later however after a month of us trying we simply have went with a different option. if her workload is that much why give her our case? I was also told she was on medical leave for 2 week, why wasn't our case transferred to another team member to progress the purchase of a chain free house. they claimed to have been waiting for the other solicitors but only sent the chaser in the morning prior to the call. unsure if it was the very first message from Samera and team or a chaser. overall would not recommend. I even hand delivered the documents to ensure a speedy transition of this. I also emailed once i got back home to ask for written confirmation of receipt. didnt receive a response. I can only attest to my experience with Samera, and not the overall firm Stephen Wilmot as the director Robert Stephens has kindly agreed to refund the amount spent. Which was our very first response from the solicitors after approx. 1 month of us emailing/phoning asking for updates minus the initial response

The purchase of any property is never going to be a smooth ride, but, Samera at Stephens Wilmot made the process as painless as possible and was absolutely brilliant. Any time I had questions, and there were a few as I am a FTB, she answered promptly, proffesionally but most importantly clearly. Would reccomend!

Thank you for your review. We appreciate the positive feedback you have given us and look forward to working with you in the future.

Was recommended so sad it was such a bad experience. No response for weeks at a time and at times didn’t relay info onto the buyers solicitor which made the sale last 8 months! Nearly lost the sale all together. Then at completion tried to add charges on that I’d already either paid or for “work” I ended up doing myself like getting the council to agree they wave the right to first refusal. Maybe you can have a great experience with a different solicitor but I will certainly not be using this firm again.

From start to finish this process with of moving house and Stephen Wilmot Solicitors as our legal aid to much longer than we expected. After putting in a offer for our new house in March we did not even move until half way through November. Although the Job was completed we always felt like Samera has a huge case load as we never felt prioritized. During the process we were asked to find out information that we thought should have been her job (and some of it was). This slowed down the process a lot. When replying to our emails as well she would tend to only reply to half our questions at times which can be very frustrating when you just want answers. Her team when speaking with on the phone came across as unprofessional, almost like she was questioning me when i asked to speak with Samera. When Samera went on annual leave we requested that we be put through to another solicitor as we were waiting to exchange, we were told that would be possible until a day or two before her leave when we were then told no one would cover and we would have to delay the exchanged yet another week. Eventually we managed to exchange 9 days before the mortgage offer ran out which was more stress. This was not just down to Samera as out buyers solicitors were not very good either. We also feel at times if we hadn't chased up and prompted Samera the move could have taken a lot longer than it did. Thankfully now the whole process has now come to an end. We would not recommend this solicitor if you value a fast transaction.

I recently used Stephens Wilmot Solicitors, as they were recommended by my mortgage advisor, and were very reasonably priced. I was assigned Samera and Megan for the sale and purchase of a property and I had no issues. I was able to speak on the phone when I needed to discuss something, and I was kept in the loop along the way via email. Thank you Samera and Megan!
