Jury O'Shea Llp

This was supposed to be a simple conveyancing process. The simplest possible really. The property being purchased was empty with no chain involved. We (the purchasers) had no chain either, with the money sitting in the bank waiting for completion. The only minor complication was the purchaser was a UK citizen returning to the UK from Canada. And somehow, it took 5.5 months from initial contact, when everything with the seller had already been agreed, to get to exchange of contracts. This included most of 3 months (April, May, June 2026) after we had provided them with all the paperwork they had asked for. I know the real estate process in the UK is incredibly slow and cumbersome compared to many other countries, and that there is no such thing as a quick and efficient solicitor anywhere in the country. But still, Jury O’Shea elevated delaying everything to an art form. There was simply no response or communication from them for weeks at a time. We were clearly just another case that had to be dealt with sometime, and most likely sitting on someone’s desk for long stretches with nothing being done. I don’t expect to be involved in any other real estate transaction in the UK in my lifetime. But if I am, I know which solicitors I will make sure to avoid.

I have had the pleasure of instructing Jury O’Shea LLP on two separate property transactions in recent months, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. On both occasions, Alina Grigortseva has been outstanding. The most recent transaction was particularly complex, involving historic subsidence, bridging finance and numerous legal and lender enquiries. Throughout the process, Alina remained calm, professional and incredibly thorough, ensuring that every issue was carefully investigated and that I was kept fully informed at every stage. What impressed me most was the team’s exceptional communication. Alina was always incredibly responsive, often replying swiftly to emails and WhatsApp messages, which provided real reassurance throughout what could otherwise have been a very stressful process. She explained legal matters clearly, offered practical advice and worked proactively with my lender, broker, the seller’s solicitors and other professionals to keep the transaction progressing. When critical last-minute enquiries arose before completion, Alina handled them efficiently and with great attention to detail. I would also like to recognise Diya Patel, whose support throughout both transactions was invaluable. Diya was always courteous, organised and responsive, ensuring that matters progressed smoothly and that I was regularly updated. A special thank you also goes to Miles Fish, Partner, whose experience, commercial approach and oversight provided additional reassurance whenever complex legal issues arose. It was evident that the entire team worked collaboratively to achieve the best possible outcome for their client. Even after completion, Alina has continued to assist me with follow-up enquiries and in obtaining historic legal documentation relating to the property. That level of ongoing client care is rare and demonstrates a genuine commitment to clients that extends well beyond completion. I am deeply grateful to Alina Grigortseva, Diya Patel and Miles Fish for their professionalism, dedication and unwavering support. They are true experts in their field who genuinely care about their clients and consistently go above and beyond to deliver an exceptional service. Having instructed Jury O’Shea on two occasions recently, I would have absolutely no hesitation in using them again for future property transactions and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for an experienced, diligent and highly responsive conveyancing team.

tricia moore in portsmouth office did an outstanding job for me in my house purchase. i am someone who struggles so much with paperwork and tricia couldn’t have made it more straightforward for me. it was entirely stressfree, and you don’t hear that much with house purchases.

I have just exchanged contracts on the sale of my parents property. Kevin Ross and Isabella Rimmer were exceptional throughout - proactive at all times with crucial advice that saved time and avoided problems. Highly recommended.

Both Amy and Isabella in London were efficient, helpful and very professional. My property conveyance was carried out in record time and I would have no hesitation on recommending them.
