Unprofessional

I wouldn’t recommend this company as they have hidden charges that they only bring to light once you’ve made your first payment, so then it feel like entrapment and when you try to call them directly to discuss they continually end your call so you can’t get through to them

A representative from Property Legal (manchester) Limited responded to this review

Dear Brazier, Thank you for sharing your feedback, and I’m sorry to hear about your experience. This is certainly not how we want our customers to feel. A manager has reached out to discuss your concerns directly, and we hope this helps clarify the situation and resolve things for you. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Team PLS

Extremely poor service from Olivia. Completely wasted 2 months of my time with these incompetent workers. There was a clear lack of the ability to listen and comprehend that laws are different across different countries to how they are in the UK. It is like they are only taught one method in their work and are deliberately told not to adapt to differing situations. I have also supposedly been charged for “local searches” in a payment that I am certain was just a deposit.

Dear Vũ Hằng, Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and would like the opportunity to look into this matter further. However, we will need a reference or further details to be able to locate the case on our system. Please could you get in touch with our Client Services Manager at kmohindra@pls-solicitors.co.uk, who will be happy to assist you and investigate this for you. We look forward to hearing from you so we can help resolve this matter. Kind Regards Team PLS

I am sharing my personal experience, A journey of 6 MONTHS. and it has been nothing short of disappointing. Communication within their own department and with cusotmer. Tried simplyfying by calling them directly but they came busy or put me on hold. I chose this company despite their quote being one of the highest I received, believing that the premium price would guarantee the best service. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Due to their own negligence and repeated mistakes during the purchase of my new development property, my case was dropped and delayed twice. I have encountered numerous issues throughout this process, all stemming from their internal errors. To date, no one has taken ownership of these mistakes. Despite writing to Customer Service over a month ago (in December), I am writing this today, February 14th, with absolutely no resolution and latest email stating an apology for their Delay in replying or coming up with resolution. While a Customer Service Manager previously offered some compensation, their own staff fails to recognize these concessions, rendering the gesture meaningless. I have been left to pay whatever they demanded, regardless of their errors. The lack of communication, accountability, and professionalism is shocking. I intend to continue pursuing my case and escalating my complaint in the coming months to see that this is properly addressed. A truly disappointing experience.

Dear Robbie, We are very sorry to read about your experience and the frustration you have described. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide to our clients. We take concerns regarding communication, delays, and case handling extremely seriously, particularly in relation to new development purchases where timing is critical. It is disappointing to hear that you feel matters were not handled appropriately and that previous correspondence has not led to a satisfactory resolution. We would genuinely welcome the opportunity to review your file thoroughly and ensure your concerns are properly investigated. To allow us to do this, we kindly ask that you contact our Client Services Manager directly at kmohindra@pls-solicitors.co.uk, providing your full name, property address, and any relevant reference numbers so that your case can be located without delay. We are committed to resolving complaints fairly and transparently, and we would appreciate the opportunity to look into the issues you have raised and respond in full. We look forward to hearing from you. Team PLS

We bought a property whereby the sellers used Liam at PLS. Both him and them were difficult to deal with throughout the process, culminating in them misrepresenting the property- leaving it damaged- and having to legally put it right after completion. Of course you can get bad sellers and solicitors can only go off what they are told, however Liam’s communication was very very poor.

A representative from Property Legal (manchester) Limited responded to this review

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We understand this situation must have been frustrating for you. However, we would like to clarify that you were not our client in this matter, we acted on behalf of the sellers. As we have a duty of confidentiality to our clients, we’re unable to discuss their transaction publicly. That said, we take all feedback seriously, and if you believe there are issues that require our attention, please contact us directly at so we can review your concerns appropriately. Team PLS

The worst most incompetent solicitors. Because of them I have been stuck on a variable rate for months and looks like it will be that way for some time due to their negligence and incompetence. They are unprofessional, unresponsive and they do not care about whatever position they put you in. I have written two formal complaints and reported them to the legal ombudsman who are handling it for me. The amount of distress they have caused me I wouldn’t wish it on my enemy. There reviews are fake because my experience has been the total opposite. If you know you want solicitors that know what they are doing then do not do business with them as it has been nothing but a horrible experience.

Extremely disappointing experience!! I instructed PLS back in July 2024 for an off plan property and in the next 4-5 months, I found out through my PLS case officer that the seller has been unable to provide them with the contract packs and other documentation for them to proceed with review of my case. This led me to challenge the property agent eventually about discrepancies in their documentation, leading to cancellation of my reservation with them in Dec 2024. I am now finding out that PLS has incurred "significant effort" on my case as they received the contracts pack in January 2025 (although I had already cancelled in Dec 2024) and this significant effort will lead to a bill for me which I have to pay in the next 30 days. Funny thing is that I am only finding out today that they received the contact pack 7 months ago and they didn't even bother to tell me. Another funny story - they are not allowing a payment plan too as the amount is really small - BUT, they also cant waive the charges because significant efforts have gone into my case. I am obviously confused and frustrated!! It took me 12 months of constant chasing to recover my reservation monies from agent and now this. In summary, my confidence is completely shattered in properties within UK in general and UK solicitors in particular.

A representative from Property Legal (manchester) Limited responded to this review

Dear Adeel, Thank you for your feedback. We are only able to proceed with matters once we are in receipt of the contract pack from the seller’s solicitors. While we note your reference to cancelling the transaction in December 2024, we received no formal instruction to that effect at the time. In line with our terms of business, fees are chargeable for work undertaken on the file. Kind Regards, PLS Solicitors

I wish I read the reviews first

Outright unprofessional shambolic bunch. We couldn't take anything they said for granted as they were so untrustworthy. Key steps missed which has cost us money. We complained and their own internal review agreed and even gave a us a discount (despite the review not being carried out when they said it would be- untrustworthy). Even with the discount we still feel very hard done by. Do not use.

Dear Daniel, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear that you had a poor experience and that the process felt difficult.

It was my first house purchase, so for me as a woman with little patience, the process felt a bit slow, but I was aware that the waiting time is usually long. I also want to thank my solicitor, who replied to my emails very quickly and kept chasing the seller’s solicitor whenever there were delays. I wish them many more successful completions in the future.

Dear Petya, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re really pleased to hear that your solicitor was responsive, proactive in chasing the other side, and kept you updated throughout the process. We understand that buying your first home can feel slow at times, and we appreciate your patience and perspective. It’s great to know that despite the delays, you felt supported and well looked after. Thank you again for your kind words and best wishes, we hope you enjoy your new home and wish you all the very best for the future. Team PLS

We bought our house through the shared ownership scheme and the whole process took around 7 months. Throughout everything, the team at PLS Solicitors was very professional, fast, and always replied to emails in a very short time. A special thank you to Catherine Ross. When I finally spoke with her on the phone near the end of the process, I honestly couldn’t believe how friendly, cheerful, and down-to-earth she was. Not at all what people usually expect from a solicitor! Thank you so much for all your hard work and support. I highly recommend PLS Solicitors to everyone. Bravo to a wonderful team of people who truly love what they do! Monika

Thank you so much for your wonderful and thoughtful review, Monika. We are delighted to hear that you had such a positive experience with PLS Solicitors throughout your shared ownership purchase. We understand that the process can sometimes feel lengthy and complex, so it is fantastic to know that our team’s professionalism, responsiveness, and support helped make the journey smoother for you. A special thank you for your kind words about Catherine. She will be thrilled to hear how much you appreciated her friendly and approachable manner, as well as her support throughout your transaction.
