Very slow and very hard to contact to

I found them awfully slow and almost impossible to contact them. We had to delay the exchange for a week due to my solicitor's inability to communicate. I had to chase them number of times during that 3-4 months period, sometimes estate agents had to nudge them. Overall they made the process a lot of stressful.

Terrible Firm

Used for house purchase, literally mis-lead us all the way. Gave us an indemnity policy to cover faulty items in the house that was not fit for purpose and has left us with big bills and no cover.

My file was transferred from Northampton office to Milton Keynes office without my being consulted (I lived 20 miles north of the Northampton office). When I had posted paperwork to them under duress, I then discovered that my file had been returned to Northampton, again without confirmation that this was happening

Made our whole experience of purchasing a house more stressful than it needed to be and would not recommend. Communication was awful for not just ourselves but our estate agent and our buyers solicitor too. Due to their poor communication we ended up having to sell our property without knowing when we will be completing on our new one as we were at risk of losing our buyer. Ourselves, our buyers solicitor and the solicitor of who we were purchasing from were all advised a completion date which didn’t end up going ahead. This caused extra expenses for ourselves that Franklins don’t want to take any accountability for. Honestly shocked by the amount of good reviews as since experiencing this and talking to others who have used Franklins, they have experienced similar issues. I emailed back to a response regarding my complaint 8 days ago and didn’t even receive a confirmation of receipt. Sums up my experience. I was waiting to leave a review to see if they would take any accountability but that seems to not be the case. It’s been 2 months since we completed on our purchase.

Such is the UK Purchasing process, things are never as rapid as anyone would like. However, I have had my fair share of Franklins having used them on 3 occasions over the last few years and would recommend them highly. They are attentive and very thourough in all aspects. Their fee is well placed in the market and good value by comparison of others. Hopefully I wont need help with anymore sales/purchases soon but If I do, I know exactly who would be top of the list! Great job

Thank you to Franklins Solicitors Milton Keynes especially our conveyancing solicitor Emma Sinclair. She went over and above the call of duty working for very fussy and hard to please customers. She never once lost her cool. I'm guess she's pleased this is all over and she got rid of us. We are very pleased with the service received in the end. Thank you

Hi Jeanne, thank you for taking the time to leave such a kind review. We really appreciate it. We are pleased to hear that Emma went over and above, and that you are very pleased with the service you received. We do hope that you continue to think of Franklins should you need legal services in the future. Many thanks, Bethany

A client

Received an absolutely great service from Melita as part of Candice's team in the Northampton branch, getting my house sale through. Melita's response time to emails her general communication was very impressive. I was made fully confident from the first responses from Mel, I was now in safe hands and I could sit back relax knowing they would do everything they could to complete in time for the buyers requested date. From the moment the team took over my file the whole process was very fast and seamless. I cant recommend them enough, you will be in very safe hands. Thanks to Melita and the team!

Thank you taking the time to leave these kind words for Melita - it's great to hear that she was responsive, efficient and you knew your matter was in safe hands. Please continue to think of Franklins should you need legal services in the future. Best wishes Rosanna

The biggest mistake

Weeks of no communication and risking the whole sale. The most stressful part of buying a house, by far, was dealing with Franklins.

Reliable and efficient solicitors with a warm and friendly approach

This is the 3rd time I have used Franklins and I feel I can trust them to get the job done without delays. Communication has always been good and although not the cheapest, you get good service for your money.

Be very careful of using Franklins for property purchases

Thought Franklins had done an amazing on my property purchase in August 2022. Unfortunately in April 2024 I discovered that the management fee accounts dating back as far as 2017 had not been finalised and all of the adjustments were now my financial responsibility. As my acting solicitor on my purchase it was Franklins responsibility to have found this out and advise me of it pre purchase. As it stands at the moment I am £1300 out of pocket with another 2 years 8 months of adjustments that date prior to my purchase that I will be liable for when the accounts are completed. I have been in contact with Franklins since April and gone through their 8 week complaint process and all I have had back is "they are conacting the sellers solicitor". Appalling!

House move - extremely slow service. Frustrating is an under statement

We contacted the conveyancing department yesterday regarding issues with my daughter's house move. We live in Australia. Managed to speak to the person responsible for dealing with the move, insisted she send us the information necessary for us to assist with speeding up the matter. This person assured us that she will send documents through via email within a day. It is day 2 and we have not received anything from her. When we spoke to her on the phone from Australia, we were insistence that she acts quickly as this may impact on my daughter's house purchase. Potentially she could lose the purchase after having already waiting for 8 months for Franklins to conduct the purchase. We are totally disappointed and and dissatisfied with the conveyancing team and their attitude with the handling of properties purchase. We are surprised with the number of negative reviews they are still in business. The next stage would be for us to contact the legal ombudsman regarding their practice.

I was very pleased with my solicitor but rarely got to speak to her, being left to deal with 'the team'. Most of the time I felt that I was being told what they thought I wanted to hear. Communications between solicitors was atrocious causing weeks of delays and at one time a member of staff actually lied to me.
