    High standard of legal support

    We were very pleased with the level of support from PCS Legal during our selling and buying a property period last year We had not moved for 37 years and were therefore not familiar with current legal processes PCS Legal carefully took us through the legal forms and processes to be completed Their fees were reasonable and as we were under pressure from our buyers, PCS Legal exchanged contracts on the Friday and completed on the Monday!

    Slow and poor communication

    Extremely slow process, I had to push and push to get closure. Finally on completion there was no final account so I have no detail on disbursements. Very poor

    Frustrating slow at responding queries. Only respond to those in a queue so concerns me that they may not have enough solicitors to deal with queries. Numerous follow ups been told queries have been responded to and aren’t. Latest issue are queries that have been sitting there 6 days told previously they had responded on a call. Went back to estate agent and turns out that they hadn’t even started looking at them, after a call today. Constant apologies , however never seen to get any traction. Got a separate call from their another part of their office asking me about the completion date previously. Wasn’t half way through the process. So I was thrilled that we were done, turned out was given the wrong information again. When I called I was told that was a mistake. At a point of desperation now as every week, month goes by and delay costs me significant amount of money. This wouldn’t be tolerated in any other business.

    Paige O'Brien (my solicitor) and Kate Gardner were professional, efficient and courteous when helping me as a FTB. Paige went above and beyond assisting me to complete a sale that had gone into 6th month within 3 months. The App they have was useful and I am forever grateful to the whole Quebec team. Thank you all. JK

    Craig Stevenson has been outstanding, he helped before but wasn’t the solistors this time he has been our solicitor for a house purchase. He has been nothing but exceptional in his service. He has worked to an extremely tight deadline. Very honest and solution focused and always given me so many options when faced with awful dilemmas over a house we was insistent on buying that didn’t have building completion certificates. I highly recommend Craig. I’ve used lots of conversing solistors over the last few years but only now cam I say I’ve found one that I would always use again and go out of my way to recommend to others. It has to be Craig. He is senior and the pricing is more for him but what you get in return is a better easier less stress service and you can pay to have a fast track service to you can always speak at easy and have your case looked at quicker as a result of that we moved very fast. He achieved what seemed to be almost impossible and he did it in a way that distressed me some how! He is the best!

    We recently completed the purchase of our new home and used PCS Legal as our solicitors. The service was great from start to finish. Communication was clear and we were always kept updated throughout the process. A special thank you to Carley, Summer, and Holly for their hard work, patience, and support. They were professional, friendly, and always happy to help with any questions we had. Thank you for making the process smooth and stress-free. We really appreciate everything you did for us.

    I was thoroughly impressed. The team at PCS Legal were super quick and always on top of things. I was blown away by how fast the completion happened – less than a couple of months! Adam, Rebecca, and Kate were amazing to work with – professional, helpful, and respectful. As a first-time buyer, I felt in good hands. Highly recommend PCS Legal!"

      Efficient Service with Good Communication

      I recently used PCS legal for my property purchase and was pleased with the overall service. The team was professional, responsive, and kept the transaction moving throughout the process. Communication was generally clear, and they handled the legal aspects efficiently. The only area that could have been better was cost transparency. The final legal fees were higher than the initial quotation, which was disappointing and made budgeting more difficult. While the additional charges may have been justified, I would have appreciated a clearer explanation of potential extra costs from the outset. Overall, the transaction completed successfully, and I was satisfied with the service provided. I would consider using them again, particularly if fee estimates and possible additional charges were made clearer at the beginning.

      Sarah Joy and Team

      keeps it genuine and professional: I’m leaving another review because my last one was dedicated to how amazing Sarah Joy is — and that certainly hasn’t changed! However, I also want to shine a light on the incredible team around her: Olivia Backhouse, Toni Taylor, and Aidan Mclaren. Their communication is consistently outstanding, keeping me informed every step of the way, and they go above and beyond to make what can often be a stressful process feel smooth, straightforward, and completely manageable. The entire team is professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to delivering exceptional service. Nothing ever feels like too much trouble, and their dedication to their clients really stands out. I’ve been using PCS for years and, thanks to the consistently excellent support from Sarah and her fantastic team, I wouldn’t hesitate to continue using them for many years to come. Highly recommended!

      Massive thank you to Megan, Amy, Charlotte and Daisy for their excellent and thorough services with the purchase of our first house! The whole process was entirely painless and extremely quick, so much so that the sellers' estate agents commented that it was "progressing at light speed". Would highly reccomend!

      I recently completed on my house sale and purchase using PCS Legal and wanted to say thank you to everyone involved. Moving house is never straightforward and there were a few bumps along the way, but whenever issues arose the team were quick to respond and kept things moving. Communication was always clear and I felt I could pick up the phone or send an email whenever I needed an update. What I appreciated most was that I never felt like just another file number. The team were professional, approachable and always willing to explain things in plain English when I wasn’t sure what was happening. Buying and selling a home can be stressful, but having a solicitor you can trust makes a huge difference. Thanks to all the team for helping get us over the finish line. I wouldn’t hesitate to use PCS Legal again and would happily recommend them to friends and family.
