This review is for a different branch.
Butterworths were recommended to me by a friend to oversee the sale of my house. The start of the process was pretty smooth and we were able to get started quite promptly communicating with my buyers solicitors even though my estate agents were slow off the mark. However, as the process went on, communication became slow and I found myself chasing them for updates as my buyer and I were in regular contact and getting some mixed messages. Eventually, my solicitors recognised and acknowledged the completion date I'd asked for as I was selling without purchasing anywhere else so no chain above me, but we couldn't do this date because the buyers solicitors weren't yet ready - ok no problem, we suggested another date and it took for me to chase my solicitors again before this was confirmed.
Finally, the sale went through and we completed - yay! I received a phone call early on the day of completion to say I'd receive the funds by the end of the day and I did.
But a week later I received an email to say there was a shortfall with my mortgage and I now owed £100. The email contained no apology for the mistake that had been made and when I responded and expressed my disappointment and frustration about the matter, I was met with silence. I had expected a more professional response. But alas, I was met with none.
Overall, they did sell my house quicker than when I bought it (with different solicitors), but I was not so impressed with the level of communication towards the end of the process.
