    Lease extension and Land registry lodging for converted flats Feel more effort from PCS could have moved things along quicker - 3 years seems very slow to turn things round

    Straightforward conveyance with PCS Legal

    From putting the house on the market to exchange of contracts as precisely 5 months. Being able to liaise online as well as by telephone was brilliant.

    Terrible experience

    Lawyers for my house purchase. Advised it was all sorted. A year later when getting some work done I was advised it was not my name on land registry. Emailed PCS legal to ask what was happening. Emails were ignored for months. Raised a complaint, again was ignored. When I finally got a response it was not a good answer. Ended up having to go through the legal ombudsman who managed to get it sorted, get the house finally registered in my name and received a payment from PCS legal to apologise. Terrible service. If PCS legal had initially responded to my complaint and sorted it, I would not have had a problem as everyone is human and mistakes happen. Instead PCS legal ignored me for months and when they did respond tried to blame me for their mistake. Lucking the legal ombudsman sorted it out for me. Would not recommend

    A representative from PCS Legal Limited responded to this review

    Dear Suzy, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear about the frustration you experienced and understand how upsetting this situation must have been. At PCS Legal, we strive to provide a high standard of service, and we fully recognise that mistakes can occur. What’s most important to us is how concerns are handled. We can see that correspondence was provided in response to your complaint and that, when you remained dissatisfied, you were advised of your right to escalate the matter to the Legal Ombudsman, which you chose to do. We respect that process and are pleased that the matter was ultimately resolved. We appreciate you acknowledging that errors can happen, and we are sorry that this situation led to a loss of confidence in our service. Feedback such as yours is invaluable and helps us continue to review and improve how we communicate with and support our clients.

    Outstanding Service From Fey Ralph!

    Fey genuinely cares about her clients and that’s something rare to find. She cares deeply about their needs, takes every concern seriously, and goes above and beyond to fight battles on their behalf. Throughout what felt like an endless nightmare of bureaucracy with the Land Registry, Fey was the light at the end of the tunnel. She was relentless in her efforts to bring the process to a resolution, handling every obstacle with professionalism, empathy, and determination. I could genuinely sleep 100 times better knowing she was on the case that’s how much trust and reassurance she brings. She was always incredibly fast to respond, providing detailed updates that showed real progress and made me feel informed and cared for at every step. I’ve very rarely met someone as outstanding as her. Fey is truly one of a kind, and I cannot thank her enough for her exceptional service. An incredible woman compassionate, capable, and truly extraordinary at what she does.

    I can’t thank Leanne, Holly and Kiera enough for their help with my remortgage and transfer of equity. They were fantastic from start to finish—always quick to respond to emails, extremely knowledgeable, and happy to answer any questions I had. They made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and straightforward. I would not hesitate to recommend them to others.

    I am very pleased and satisfied with the whole process of Remortgage of my property. It was fast, took hardly couple of weeks, and very profesional. I received a very good service from whole team specially Jeanette Cook. She kept me in the loop at all the stages, communicated very effeciently. She usually replied to my emails within 24 hrs and always tried her best to sort out the queries. I strongly recommend PCS legal. Thank you very much!

      This firm represented a young couple in our small chain during our recent move!!! Not answering phone calls unless numbers witheld!! Poor response to emails Slow response to enquires in general Lies to how far things were proceeding throughout the whole process It even seemed they deliberately held things up!!! My advice is do your homework read the reviews and find a decent solicitor /conveyancer not these!!!! You have been warned Not cheap and definitely not cheerfull

      I started the process of buying a property, paid £1,600 for surveys and various fees, got the mortgage deal sorted, and when it came to providing proof of funds to the solicitor, he refused to recognise the savings account I had even though I provided a PDF bank statement, the certificate of interest, and documents clearly showing the dates, the funds used to open the savings account, the maturity date, and the interest paid. The funds were moved within the same bank, under the same name. I even went to the bank, asked the manager for more information, and had additional documents printed about the savings account,but Liam Ridyard still wasn’t satisfied. He started calling me on the phone, shouting and being rude. At that point I also lost my patience and I just said,ok forget it,I quit.
