Financial devastation

This firm acted on my behalf in my first house purchase. I was advised to proceed with the purchase of the house. After completion, I found out the house that was valued and marketed as a standard construction, was actually a non-standard construction, which requires a non-standard mortgage and non-standard insurance. It’s not worth anywhere near what I paid for it, so i can’t remortgage it or sell it.

When I raised this directly with the company, I was fobbed off with a pandering phone call shifting the blame elsewhere.

This is financially devastating, and has ruined my life.

A pleasurable experience

We have used Joanne Jones numerous times over the last few years and she has taken excellent care of us every time. It feels like you have a friend looking after you with the care and attention you receive. So happy to have found them.

Above and beyond!

Elly Tavener was my conveyancer for a recent house purchase and the service I received from her was first class. She kept me informed every step of the way and worked tirelessly to speed through my completion as quickly as possible.
I would have no hesitation in using the firm again and recommending Elly and her colleagues to others.

Unhelpful, lack of communication and non-committal.

From the start of our progress right to the end, we found working with Simpson Jones LLP a total nightmare. Considering they state that 'client care is of upmost importance to us', this couldn't be further from the truth. Throughout the whole process we had more communication with our estate agents than our actual solicitor, who then just passed us on to another solicitor with no rhyme or reason. They made empty promises to us over the phone but then when questioned on it, they denied all knowledge and effectively branded us liars. We felt like a burden and they acted as if they were doing us a favor when we were paying them for a service. It's been less than ideal throughout and felt like they only did the absolute bare minimum. Would not recommend.

Dreadful company harrassing

Dreadful company keep contacting me over several years claiming to have legal documents from a solicitor that went bust.
They never send me the documents and keep calling!
I never gave permission for documents to be sent to them!

Property sale

Simpson Jones recently handled the completion of the sale of my property. Although the transaction was quite drawn out, telephone calls were always either answered by legal staff or returned promptly. All documents were sent through without delay and our instructions were acted on. The firm provided a high level of service at all times and I would certainly use Simpson Jones again or recommend to others.
