  • Did you think this was underpriced, overpriced or about right?
  • Overall experience

We use data science to amalgamate the answers to these questions and create a ‘ReviewSolicitors score’ out of 100. The above chart representation score is a simple percentage representation of the averaged score across those who have reviewed this law firm.

Underpriced 0%

Above and beyond

Some confusion over searches when we stipulated none required. However Peter Shell was outstanding and went above and beyond to get the exchange and completion in time.

Patient and clear advice

The service was of high quality. During the course of the process, when I felt under a lot of pressure/stress, Ashfa was very patient with me and she listened to me and explained things which helped to reassure me. Thank you Ashfa.

AVOID! AVOID AND SAVE YOU LIFE !!

Absolutely appalling, inefficient and careless service by PLS Solicitors particularly case handler Jackson Keats. I purchased my house through PLS Solicitors in Nov 2020 and again contracted them for conveyancing services to sell the same house on 3rd Sep 2024 (PLS Case Ref 614668). But found that a lot of important documents were missing as were not obtained by them during original purchase. A case of extreme negligence. Communication was awful and extremely delayed, in fact, Jackson did not care to respond until I call and send reminder emails...and many times he lied about progress. I complained to his Manger Caroline but nothing improved as she was also slow and did not care for client. After almost three months of stress and spending extra costs, I formally lodged complaint to directors and senior management of PLS Solicitors but received stereo type reply and no concrete action taken to resolve the issues despite lapse of a month. Now almost four months and 20 days passed but they failed to fully respond to the enquiries from buyer's solicitors with required documents, raised on 16 Sep 2024. Hence, they failed to contract exchange as yet. Now, I am going to file legal case and complaints to relevant authorities against them for spoiling the sale deal and causing us loss of money, time, efforts. Suffered a loss of several thousand pounds and continuous mental stress. I read a lot negative comments about awful services and unhappy customers of PLS Solicitors. As I am initiating legal proceedings against them so would appreciate if other victims/unhappy customers can join hands with me (without cost sharing) so we can fight for our legal right and compensation. MUST AVOID TO SAVE YOUR LIFE & MONEY!!

Me as FTB was lost in what to expect, despite me getting a cheaper quote from other companies I opted for PLS and Sophie Wardle and her team were exceptionally amazing and efficient, the process was so smooth that I didn’t realise we are done, regular updates and prompt responses.
Would definitely recommend them.
Thanks Sophie and the team for the wonderful job 🌹

Fantastic service from Daniel Crowther. He messaged me every step of the way and knew exactly what he was doing.

It was a shame that the seller’s solicitors were very slow otherwise we could’ve completed in 4-5 weeks.

Can’t fault the service that I received at all.

Thank you Daniel!

We had a wonderful experience with PLS. Buying our first home was incredibly exciting, and Javeria Fatima, our solicitor, guided us through the process smoothly and professionally, addressing all our concerns. Many thanks to the entire PLS team!
