Multiple Delays, Lost Documents and Errors, Poor Communication
We have had a very poor experience with ONP Solicitors during our remortgage. Despite providing the requested documents, I was asked to resend the same information, which made it clear that previously submitted documents were not being processed or tracked properly. Multiple confusing and contradictory communications from ONP Solicitors have made it hard to understand what documentation we need to provide. Communication was consistently unreliable. Emails have been left unanswered and updates have not been provided. This lack of response has directly caused delays at a time when deadlines are critical. Incorrect information was also given to both us and an external organisation involved. For example, ONP Solicitors claimed not to have received contact or documents that had in fact been sent. They also submitted required paperwork using the wrong template, which we are waiting for a resolution on. These repeated errors and delays have put us at significant risk, including moving onto our current lender's follow-on rate and jeopardising our new mortgage offer. The whole process has felt disorganised, inconsistent, and unprofessional. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this ONP Solicitors and would strongly encourage looking elsewhere. Our new lender offered to pay for a set value of the standard legal fees if we used ONP Solicitors. I will think twice before doing this in the future, and will be letting the new lender know about the awful experience we have had with ONP Solicitors!
