Excellent Service and communication

We completed the sale of our house yesterday with Lisa Aston, Bronwen and Jack. It hasn't been the most straightforward chain for them to deal with however the service they have provided has been second to none. Outstanding communication throughout, they have made the process simple for us to follow and understand. We will be returning to use them again in the near future. Thank you all so much! Ste & Jen

Very Helpful & Pleasant Experience

I am writing to express my gratitude and satisfaction with the exceptional service provided by Oliver & Co. Their policies of clarity, good and swift communication, and responsiveness to any concerns were evident throughout my experience. In the complicated process of recovering my assets from the Treasury, Amelia guided me from the beginning to the successful end, keeping me updated with a clear roadmap. She was always pleasant and instilled confidence. Other members of the team were also very helpful, providing information on other issues pro bono. Consequently, I will be using their services for conveyancing a property that I'm selling. Thank you for your professionalism; it was a pleasure working with you.

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.

A representative from Oliver & Co Solicitors Ltd responded to this review

Dear Mr Tsin, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We regret to hear that your recent experience did not meet your expectations. Unfortunately, your transaction does not fit within our risk profile and so we have been unable to act for you on this occasion. At the outset of our communication, we were not aware of all of the circumstances of your transaction and so we were unable to advise you that we could not act for you any sooner. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused and are issuing a full refund to you. Best wishes.

Well what a journey I have been on! I have been through one sale and 3 purchases with Oliver & Co. I had the pleasure of Elan and her team guiding me and doing the whole process with myself. Unfortunately due to different circumstances I had to pull out of 2 purchases but we got there on the third, Charlotte Doherty - Jones was brilliant, she was calm and cool through the whole process with gives me a lot of confidence in her work and us getting through the rubbish bits. I would recommend Oliver & Co time and time again! Thank you so much Elan & Charlotte.

Oliver&Co: Thank You Very Much Hope Gill-Daindith & Anna Clare

I don't usually write reviews. I only take the time to do so when someone has made a truly significant impact on my life, and in this case, it is thoroughly deserved. Hope Gill-Daintith and Anna Clare make a wonderful team. For several months, I had been silently struggling with work-related stress. Sometimes, when you're going through a difficult period, it can feel as though there is nowhere to turn for help. That's when I reached out to Oliver & Co. I had previously dealt with the firm when they represented the buyer of a property I sold, and that positive experience gave me confidence to contact them again. From the moment I called, Anna was kind, compassionate, and incredibly helpful. She made me feel listened to and supported from the very beginning. I then met Hope Gill-Daintith, for whom I have the highest respect. Hope not only helped me take an important step forward but also referred me to a specialist employment lawyer when appropriate. When I met her in person, she provided honest, professional, and clear advice, helping me understand my rights and the options available to me. Her guidance gave me the confidence and clarity I desperately needed during a very challenging time. As I write this review, I have already returned to Hope and Anna for assistance with another matter. The fact that I came back to Oliver & Co within just three weeks speaks volumes about the trust and confidence they inspire. Their commitment to delivering the highest standards of service is evident, and they genuinely make the process as straightforward and stress-free as they promise. Thank you, Hope Gill-Daintith, for being such a positive influence during a difficult period in my life. I have no doubt that you will continue to make a difference in the lives of many others. To everyone at Oliver & Co, thank you for building such an exceptional team. Every member of staff, including the wonderful reception team, made me feel welcome, respected, and valued throughout my experience. I would not hesitate to recommend Oliver & Co to anyone seeking professional, compassionate, and trustworthy legal support. Oliver&Co doesn't charge you for speaking to you like many firms in the UK.

Personal Injury

Dog Attack

After going through a frightening dog attack, I needed support I could trust — and this team were incredible. They stepped in straight away, took control of everything, and made sure I was treated fairly from start to finish. They were firm when they needed to be and kept me updated every step of the way. Their work resulted in compensation that genuinely reflected what I went through. If you need solicitors who care, who listen, and who get results, I can’t recommend them enough.

We recently bought our new home and sold our previous property, and we couldn’t be happier with the support we received throughout the whole process. A special thank you to Charlotte Doherty Jones, who was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Charlotte was professional, knowledgeable, responsive and incredibly supportive throughout what can often be a stressful and complicated process. She kept us informed, was always on hand to answer our questions, and went above and beyond to help everything progress as smoothly as possible. Her professionalism, patience and personal approach made such a difference, and we genuinely felt that we were in safe hands throughout. We would highly recommend Oliver and Co to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Thank you, Charlotte, for all your hard work and support in helping us get into our new home!

Myself and my partner have used Oliver and Co twice now, and both times they have blown us away with their professionalism, communication and dedication to their clients. Anita and her team looked after us and kept us updated with what was happening and what the next steps were at all stages, and also made sure things carried on moving smoothly. We cannot thank Oliver and Co enough for everything they have done with our house moves. There is no other solicitors I would recommend more than the team at Oliver and Co! Thank you Anita and team!
