Charles Wood & Son Limited

We used the services of this Solicitor for a house sale and purchase. During the initial stages of the process I found our Solicitor very slow at responding to us and updates were non existent to which my wife and I found very frustrating at what was already a very stressful time.
We lived with this frustration as it did not get any better during the whole process - slow updates and poor communication.
Once the deal was done the fee's were sent through to myself for review which were wrong and needed amending. I paid the fee's as requested only to receive an email from the Solicitor a few weeks later saying that he had understated the fee amount and did not have enough to pay for the LLBT. As this was underpaid I would be liable for interest if not paid (£100) in time - and the time was in 3 days days. Unfortunately i did not have sufficient time to raise the funds and over ran the LLBT period giving me a penalty of £100. When i engaged with the Solicitor on this he flatly refused to pay the £100 penalty and said that i should have checked.

Overall - shocking service and would not recommend this Solicitor to anyone!
