Property Investor Review – Myerson Solicitors
I recently used Myerson Solicitors to complete the purchase of an investment property acquired via auction. Overall, I was very satisfied with the service provided and would both recommend them to others and use them again in the future.
Key positives:
Competitive fees: Their pricing was fair and represented good value for the service received.
Transparent service and fees: I appreciated the clarity in their breakdown of costs and the transparency around what was (and wasn’t) included in their service.
Timely and efficient: They met all required deadlines, which was particularly important given the time pressures of an auction purchase.
Responsive: Communication was generally prompt, and my queries were answered within a reasonable timeframe.
Points for consideration:
Office location: The office is easy enough to reach, although parking can be a challenge. There is metered parking available outside, which helps.
Post-box security: One concern was the external post-box, which is not secure. I didn’t feel comfortable leaving any confidential documents there when the office was closed.
Auction purchase context: As the property was purchased at auction, contracts were exchanged at the fall of the hammer. While this understandably limited the opportunity for standard enquiries, I did feel that this was occasionally used as a catch-all reason not to engage with some of the legal questions I raised. In such cases, I would have valued a clearer legal opinion or interpretation, rather than a default deferral.
Conclusion:
Despite a few minor drawbacks, I found Myerson Solicitors to be professional, efficient, and competitively priced. They handled the transaction well and were reliable throughout. I would be happy to work with them again on future property investments.
