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

Best experience

My previous experience with other solicitors had all been poor - that everything would take ages, that they were impossible to get hold of. Seeking an alternative, I went online and PCS came top of the list for recommended solicitors. I have been thankful for that ever since - throughout the process for which I hired them they have been efficient, replied promptly to all my communication, and kept me fully informed.

Incredible team!

I cannot believe how incredible this team have been!

From start to finish, we have not had a single hiccup. Eleanor & her team dealt with our case so professionally, on time and were so helpful, especially as we were buying our first home and did not have a clue about the legal information! I literally cannot recommend PCS Legal enough, and although we received cheaper quotes, we are SO glad we went with PCS because they have been nothing short of amazing! I especially liked the online portal that I could log in to, check the milestone tracker of our case, and message our solicitors via the handy message app instead of going back and forth on emails and phone calls! I had heard horror stories about nightmare solicitors, so went into it feeling quite skeptical, but they've absolutely changed our minds, and we will 100% be using them going forward!! A special mention to Alanna R who dealt with the majority of our enquiries - you are incredible!

Awful service

Communication was appaling.
1. Unanswered messages after 4 days.
2. Couldn't get through to extension as mailbox full.
3. Waiting for operator randomly got cuttoff after waiting for upwards of 30 minutes.
4. Promised multiple call backs but never materialised

We ended up sackin PCS Legal ond going with another firm. I would avoid at all costs.

Excellent service

Nikita King and her team were excellent throughout. Dealt with any issues quickly. The website used to enter all your details, certificates etc was professional and easy to use . I was really impressed that the funds from our house sale were transferred on the same day .

Poor communication, had to chase, calls not returned

Team Quebec was a nightmare. A simple cash purchase took forever, at one stage I couldn't contact the team for 10 days.
Things were forgotten, very unprofessional.

AVOID

I trusted PCS Legal with the purchase of a buy-to-let property through a modern auction – a time-sensitive process. From day one, their service was disorganised, careless, and negligent.

For over six months, they ignored my emails, lost submitted documents, and passed my case between multiple staff members who had no idea what was going on. I sent critical documents several times – and still, nothing was done. In March, just before the mortgage expiry, they acted like everything was fine, only to ask again for the same documents I had sent months earlier.

Because of their failure to act, my mortgage expired, the transaction collapsed, and I lost over £17,000, including non-refundable auction fees, rent, and contractor delays. I also submitted a legal data request (DSAR), and they didn’t respond within the lawful timeframe.

I have now escalated the matter to the Legal Ombudsman, ICO, and will pursue legal action in court. This firm should not be trusted with anything as important as your property or finances. They are evasive, unaccountable, and treat clients with total disregard.

Avoid PCS Legal at all costs. They have caused me stress, loss, and serious disruption to my family and business.

Lauren and the team dealt with the sale of my mother's bungalow. Lauren was very approachable and friendly and happy to explain each step of the process. She was proactive in advising me of critical dates and documents to be signed. I was able to get through immediately to their office on the phone whenever I had queries. The whole process was much quicker and easier than I expected. I was also happy with the price charged for the conveyancing process. I would definitely recommend Lauren and the team at Wickford office of PCS Legal.
Thank you for all your help.

Would absolutely recommend this firm. We used them for the purchase of our first house. Our file handler was Luke Neale, who was exceptional. All the team were very responsive and informative.
