Got there in the end with the remortgage but there was big lacking in communication and updates throughout. Took multiple weeks of chasing to get updates most of the time. Even now I’m owed money and still chasing to get it (even though I was told by the mortgage provider it was paid to them weeks ago)

I had an excellent customer experience with Lydia Wawiye of Parfitt Cresswell regarding my Settlement Agreement for redundancy. Lydia provided clear, concise legal advice, ensuring I understood all aspects of the agreement. Her professionalism, combined with her friendly and approachable demeanor, made a potentially stressful process much more manageable. Lydia's attention to detail and her prompt responses to my queries demonstrated a high level of commitment and expertise. I would highly recommend Parfitt Cresswell for their exceptional service and dedication to client satisfaction.

Eve Geere was appointed to deal with my divorce but, contrary to the suggestion of a sympathetic approach, she was very aggressive with the other side. Unfortunately, this antagonism was wholly unnecessary and ultimately led to a lengthy and expensive divorce on both sides. Would not recommend.

Dear Charlie, Thank you for your feedback. We understand that divorce proceedings can be an emotionally challenging time for all involved, and we sincerely regret any distress you may have experienced. However, we must clarify that you were not a client of our firm. Our primary responsibility is to represent the best interests of our clients and in this instance, our client has expressed satisfaction with our services. We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and ethics in all our dealings. If you have specific concerns about the legal process, we recommend discussing these with your own legal representative. We hope you can appreciate that our role was to advocate for our client, as is our duty as legal professionals. We wish you all the best moving forward. Best wishes, Client Services Team

A huge thank you to Gwen and Patuni for all their hard work throughout what was a particularly difficult and complicated sale. They handled every challenge professionally and kept us informed throughout and were always responsive when we needed guidance or reassurance. We felt we could trust their advice completely and their persistence was a huge part of getting the sale over the line. I would not hesitate to recommend them. Brilliant team.

We recently completed the sale of a property where Parfitt Creswell (Windsor) acted for our buyers. What should have been a straightforward transaction took nine months to complete. In our experience, much of the delay appeared to be due to poor communication and a lack of responsiveness from Parfitt Cresswell. All parties involved spent considerable time chasing updates, often receiving no response for weeks at a time. I would not normally leave a review for a company I had not personally instructed, but the level of communication throughout this transaction was so poor that I felt it was important to share my experience. Based on our experience, I would not recommend Parfitt Creswell.

A representative from Parfitt Cresswell Limited responded to this review

Dear Mandy, Thank you for sharing your perspective. We appreciate that property transactions can be stressful and that different parties involved may have differing views of the process. As solicitors, our professional duty is to act in the best interests of our client and in accordance with their instructions. As you were not our client in this matter, it would not be appropriate for us to comment on the specific circumstances referred to in your review. We can, however, confirm that throughout the transaction we remained committed to providing professional advice and representation in accordance with our client's legal interests and instructions. We acted proactively throughout, progressing all matters within our control promptly and diligently while working towards the best possible outcome for our client. Best wishes, Client Services Team – Parfitt Cresswell Solicitors
