Recent share sale

I recently dealt with Anna Kuckova regarding a very important issue involving the sale of shares. She was very professional, knowledgeable and easy to deal with. The transaction went smoothly and I would thoroughly recommend.

Extremely Disappointed with Service from Oliver & Co Solicitors

We had an extremely disappointing experience with the new build department at Oliver & Co Solicitors. Despite their high service fees, which were supposed to reflect superior service, our experience was frustrating and unacceptable.

From the start, we provided all the required information and were left waiting with no progress. Our numerous emails and voicemails went unanswered until we escalated our concerns. Only then did we get a reply asking us to wait even longer.

After promptly paying the requested fee for searches, we were suddenly informed that the solicitor would no longer act for us. Attempts to reach out for clarification were ignored, and we were then told via email to find another solicitor, with a promise of a refund.

When we asked about the refund, we were told some searches had been done, but we have not heard back since. Despite repeated emails asking if there was anything further required from us, we were simply told to be patient and wait. This lack of communication and proper response is incredibly frustrating.

To anyone considering Oliver & Co Solicitors, be cautious. Our experience was marked by poor communication, irresponsible handling of our case, and a general lack of professionalism. We are left extremely disappointed.

Wills Department

I dealt with Sian and Adam to update my Will. They were very kind and understanding. They explained the terms of my Will in full before I signed it. It took less than a week for my updated Will to be drafted and signed. I would highly recommend Oliver & Co.

Absolutely brilliant

At quite a stressful time for me I couldn't have wished for anyone better to represent me than Angela Cross, she was patient and professional, she made me fully understand each stage of the process and put my mind at ease on numerous occasions,
I can't thank her enough, without hesitation I will be recommending Angela and Oliver & Co solicitors to anyone who might require them.
Thanks again.

Urgent signature of documents

My wife and I urgently needed documents signing and signatures witnessing. I contacted Tim Polding who, understanding the urgency, agreed to meet my wife and I at his offices the following morning. We duly presented ourselves and Mr Polding dealt with everything in a calm and smooth manner, which is just what we needed. Our needs were urgent, but small, and both my wife and I were impressed that Mr Polding was prepared to put himself out to help us.

We used Oliver & Co Solicitors for our recent sale and purchase of houses. I cannot fault Oliver & Co at all - Dawn and Bronwen were excellent from instruction to completion. They were quick to respond to emails with clear communication. Despite some delays (caused by other factors nothing to do with Oliver & Co) they continued to chase and move things forward, even on our exchange day and completion day Bronwen was continuing to chase and ensure things were in place, keeping us update to date throughout. We do really appreciate the hard work they have done to get us into our new home! We would highly recommend Oliver & Co!
