Before choosing PCS legal, make sure you are not given Isaac as the case handler. Takes weeks to reply to any messages and takes even longer to sort out any paperwork and also has a tonne of hidden costs which were only surfaced at the very end. Avoid at all costs.

Dear J B Thank you for your feedback. We are so pleased to hear Leanne and her team provided such an excellent level of service during your transaction. We will make sure they take the time to read your review. Kind regards PCS Legal
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.

Having gained power of attorney for our parents ourselves my wife and I opted to use a solicitor to do our own as we had work and caring commitments. We opted to visit the Wickford office to fill out the forms by the solicitor to avoid any delays or mistakes. This was June 2023. Two more visits were required as the forms were returned from the power of attorney office incomplete. Another home visit was required for another error. Complaints made and a partial refund but only received power of attorney in January 2026. Power of attorney applications are about as basic as it gets for a solicitor but seemingly even this is too complicated . I wish we had done it ourselves and saved the money. Very poor service .
