From making the first phone call to completion of my business I was treated by everyone professionally and friendly. Stella guided me in a very professional manner, which I would like to thank her for.

Would give a zero star if possible. Avoid at all costs!
We were introduced and recommended to Mullis and Peake solicitors by our mortgage adviser but it became apparent from the beginning that we would have issues. Communication with the company as whole was awful, particularly Svetlana who we had the misfortune of being allocated.
Firstly, we were given a fixed price for using their conveyancing services, which was slightly higher than other solicitors but competitive. We were treated poorly when requesting any sort of information and felt as if we were bothering them. We ended up being asked to pay £50 extra on top of the agreed fee as they had left a voicemail and sent an email to the bank's solicitors because they did not anticipate that amount of workload.
Secondly, we were being fed multiple lies on the rare occasions we could make contact with our representative. Contracts to be signed urgently were sent in the post days later than we had been told, even though we stated we could come into the office to speed the process up.
Overall we had a very disappointing and frustrating service, and would strongly suggest that anybody thinking of using Mullis and Peake (Shenfield) to avoid! There are plenty of better options in the East London/West Essex area.

We are sorry to have received your negative review and comments that you have not been satisfied with the service provided to you. We have been able to speak to the fee earner concerned and have been advised that the solicitors acting in respect of the Buy to Let property were very slow in responding and wanted an exchange and completion on the same day which is always difficult. It is correct that you were charged an additional £50 plus VAT however this was agreed by you as a result of the fact it was a requirement that there be a discharge of the mortgage as well, and additional work needed to be undertaken. Unfortunately completion did not take place on the date agreed as a result of no funds being received until much later on in the day which made it impossible to complete on your purchase. We can assure you that we take on board the comments you make and if Angela Sharma can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact her: 01708 784000, angelasharma@mplaw.co.uk

I worked with Svetlana and she was a real partner in the process of a small but slightly complicated property sale. I would work with her again and again without hesitation.

An amazing result, all thanks to my Solicitor: Manzurul Islam for all his hard work! A great lawyer and I’m so glad I had every faith in him to achieve a positive outcome.

Our experience couldn't be worse for our house purchase. The office seems to be falling apart and the solicitors disagree with each other. Simple mistakes such as calculating stamp duty were made repeatedly. There was a change of our representing solicitor during the conveyancing process but we were not even informed! The pre-contract report was a standard letter without any useful information regarding the enquiries about the house. It is now two weeks after completions and we have not even received the contents and fixtures list for us to check the items in the house. The transfer of ownership of solar panels, which we reminded in particular at the beginning, was not done before completions; we have to try to do the ownership transfer ourselves but the solicitor office does not even bother providing us the essential documents to make this happen (after two calls were made). Totally unprofessional and unreliable.

We are really sorry that you feel you have had a negative experience when using Mullis & Peake LLP Solicitors. We take all feedback seriously and we have investigated this matter for you. We understand that another solicitor took over the transaction and this was explained to you when you spoke with the Head of Residential Property. The issues with the post completion documents have now been dealt with. Following a further email from you, your solicitor spoke to the seller’s solicitor who confirmed with the agent that all the papers had been left for you upon completion. Your solicitor then provided an explanation as to what the seller had said; a letter confirming completion and that the solar panels were included in the sale, was sent as per your request. If you would like further feedback please would you contact Angela Sharma by email: angelasharma@mplaw.co.uk or by telephone 01708 784000, at your convenience, so she can discuss the issues with you and rectify the situation.
Throughly recommend, 5* service. Angela in particular has been fantastic. Would not use any other solicitors
