Review of dealing with BWK Solicitors

Having just dealt with BWK in renewing our wills, dealing with Lucy was a joy, all of our questions were answered very professionall y and any queries were explained clearly, and where there was an option that also was made very clear what those option were. Overall the whole process was seamless and not as daunting as we first thought. The corespondance from Lucy was prompt and very efficient, also our dealings with Sophia were just as good, any E mails were replied to also very promptly. Overall we were very pleased with the service from BWK and in particular Lucy, and would definitely recommend the service we recieved from BWK

Would not use again

Used these solicitors for a probate matter. I found the client care lacked, had to chase up progress and at one point was given excuse that nothing had been done on my case for several weeks due to the work load of other cases they had. A few errors had to be drawn to their attention when it came to completing important documents. The conveyancing side for sale of related property had hardly any communication and i had to rely on my brilliant estate agent to drive the tranaction to fruition. All in all I would not use again.

A representative from BWK Solicitors responded to this review

Thank you for taking the time to provide your review of the service. Whilst we are sorry to hear that you feel that the service fell short of your expectations, a full internal review of your matter confirms that there were external factors that caused unavoidable delays and although our fee earners will have extensive caseloads, BWK Solicitors prides itself on insuring that our clients are informed and involved throughout. It is clear from the matter that no unreasonable delay has been caused that was unexplained. All issues were reported and all documents will have been sent to you to ensure accuracy and seek amendment. This is normal procedure so that BWK can ensure that you can make effective decisions on how to progress the matter particularly where the unforeseeable happens as was evident from the files. Whilst we fully understand that the delays will have caused frustration during a very difficult and emotive time, they were unavoidable and beyond the control of BWK Solicitors in this instance. Though there were delays caused externally it was through the knowledge and experience of the fee earners involved that, notwithstanding these external factors, they could bring about the successful completion of the matter. That said we have taken the comments very seriously and will look at our procedures so that we can learn and improve were needed. We thank you for taking the time to provide these comments and BWK Solicitors continue to extend our sympathies to you.

AUNTIE'S PROBATE

We hired this firm for a probate matter including a house sale. At our initial meeting we explained the Will and house deeds were stored with different solicitors and we were under the impression they would get both Will and deeds from them. Once we were given the go ahead to market the property after Probate a buyer was quickly found but four weeks later we were informed the deeds were “missing” which was extremely important as the house was not registered. If we had known at the outset, we could have got the house registered months before saving lots of aggravation and stress. Luckily, the buyers held on - even having a baby whilst waiting! Once the house was sold we were given figures but realised this was not all of the monies - some £80,000 was missing. It was then realised that a cheque had not been cashed and the Accounts Dept were blamed for this error. The cheque was reissued but there was still a problem and this had to be referred to the directors before it was sorted and finally cleared. Finally, when we were asked to ring in with our bank details, we did this the following day but an e-mail was sent saying that as our auntie had rung in, this could not be accepted. This was unbelievable as it was her probate, she was deceased. We were angry and upset. We did receive an apology after two e-mails were sent to them on this. We did have other gripes but these were the main ones and we did write a letter of complaint but now want closure and feel other people should know, in our opinion, what a shoddy and stressful experience we had and will not be recommending them to others who ask us.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your review of the service. Whilst we are sorry to hear that you feel the service fell short of your expectations, we take all feedback seriously. A full internal review of your matter and our procedures has therefore been undertaken to identify whether there were any deficiencies or areas where improvements could be made. BWK Solicitors prides itself on learning from any errors and continually seeking to improve the service we provide. Following our review, we identified one area highlighted in your feedback where an issue was evidenced and, as a result, have implemented a procedural change. We are confident that this improvement will help to prevent future internal miscommunication and will assist our teams in ensuring that clients are approached with the empathy and sensitivity required during what can be an extremely difficult time. That said, we have also carefully reviewed the additional comments made in your review. Whilst we thank you for taking the time to provide this information, we do not consider that the comments, as presented, fully reflect the evidence contained within the file, the numerous issues encountered during the course of the matter, or the significant work undertaken by our team to resolve those issues. In particular, a number of the matters raised were complicated by the involvement of third parties and other agencies, and outside the control of BWK Solicitors. The review also does not, in our view, fully acknowledge the considerable work undertaken by our team to address and resolve the difficulties to ensure that the matter could ultimately be brought to a successful conclusion. We are, of course, willing to consider any further information or evidence that you may have which you believe demonstrates otherwise. Should you wish to provide this, we will be happy to investigate the matter further and consider it alongside the extensive information and documentation held on our file. We again thank you for taking the time to get in touch with us regarding this matter, and we extend our sympathies to everyone affected. We sincerely hope that matters can be brought to a respectful and mutually agreeable resolution.

Could have done a better job ourselves- Will, Probate & Conveyancing

Poor communication, very slow and unreliable service. Serious mistakes made through the process of administering an estate including tens of thousands of pounds going ”missing” from the estate without them even noticing! We had to point that out. Quite unhelpful and we received vague, incomplete and incorrect information. At one point they even thought the deceased person had phoned in and emailed us saying this.Whole experience was very stressful and upsetting.

Christopher Martin's experience...

Very good. I really think everything is too automated. While the purchase was done well the outstanding issue re Deed of Variation we now has to start a separate project and I have to waste my time going onto the BWK site to start things again. I don’t do this with other solicitors. Rather bureaucratic.

BWK overlooked the management of my late father's estate and the conveyancing of my father's property. Johanna Knott and Lorraine Wilde and their respective teams within BWK were excellent, personable, empathetic and providing clear advice, completing prompt actions when required. Excellent clear communications in a timely manner, especially as I live 65 miles away, which was appreciated. They showed to have excellent business relationship with local businesses required to work with on our behalf. Good and transparent fees. Overall I would thoroughly recommend BWK to use if you live in the South Bucks / Chilterns area for your legal requirements.

from BWK Solicitors

Thank you very much for your kind and detailed review, Anthony. We are truly grateful that you took the time to share your experience. It is wonderful to hear that Johanna, Lorraine and their teams provided personable, empathetic and clear advice. If you need any further assistance in future, please do not hesitate to get in touch — we would be happy to help.

Inconsistent

I’ve never been divorced before, and I trusted that I would not only get the correct legal compliance, but also guidance through the process. A timeline/expected series of events was never explained to me. And I was guided only by the fact that they had emailed me they did not say expectations at all. I had multiple solicitors dealing with the case, which would indicate the staff retention was an issue. On at least one occasion I was charged for the solicitor getting up to speed on the case. Some of the definitions were not explained to me, and because one of the solicitors sent an email to the other side with the incorrect wording in the subject line, I think it was the word open but I can’t remember, the nuance of the contract and expectations I was setting for the other side meant that that strategy was now defunct and as a result I lost potentially many tens of thousands of pounds. Billing was not consistent. I would get a bill on a seemingly hap hazard schedule sometimes going three or four months without seeing one. I’m sure that they would say they behaved properly, but I do not feel that way

Customer service

They were good and professional although chain was held up during conveyancing due to one solicitor dragging their feet over clearing transaction and customer being able to collect their keys

Brilliant

Jackie and Marilyn managed our sale and onwards purchase and were absolutely brilliant from the start. Communication was great, everything for us was made so simple. Even when our buyers' solicitors were finding frankly bizarre things to raise enquiries on at the last possible moment they were unphased, managed it perfectly, and it never felt like the chain was in any danger. I can't speak highly enough of Jackie, Marilyn, and BWK, would absolutely recommend to anyone.
