6 months to do a conveyance to buy flat

Most arrogant unprofessional lawyers I have come across rude and extremely slow . Even after 6 months and a pmortgage offer extension they have failed to complete my purchase . I have lost lost all confidence in their staff especially Sonia bains who has delayed completion at every opportunity and ignored my interests unprofessionally To add insult to injury they have charged £3500 in legal fees for a property purchase of £225k I have now to start again with a new mortgage offer with another lawyers it’ appears wasting my time and money with slow unprofessional people . Would never recommend this firm to anyone looking for a professional service . Please look at the reviews and you will see others suffering like me . Meanwhile the higher magnet have ignored request for a call back . As a client I was let in the dark and ignored they moved at their own pace to rack up a bill and not even deliver in that

I would rate this 0 stars if possible.

I would rate this 0 stars if possible. The most unprofessional, uncommunicative and poor service I have ever received. The purchase of our property has been delayed by several weeks due to LPL and their lack of motivation. After stating the purchase could not progress without the management pack, it turns out they had it on their systems for weeks, without even looking at it or acknowledging to us or the sellers solicitors that they had received it. I don't know if their staff are just bad at their jobs or lazy, but either way it is unacceptable. If you're looking for a smooth, quick and easy process AVOID LPL AT ALL COSTS! David Platten who should have been able to help progress our sale has been instrumental in getting nothing done. When calling the offices we are passed around from junior member of staff to junior member of staff and only able to contact David over email, and when we have contacted him he has been of NO HELP and has not been able to progress anything. Despite working with them for months we were never assigned a solicitor or point of contact, instead having to call up their reception over and over again to get any kind of response. Happy to take your money and do absolutely nothing. I have never in my life experienced such poor service and lack of emotion or empathy. Stay far far away from LPL, find another solicitor and I'm sure your journey will be much smoother than mine. This was as positive a review as I could muster up.

Had a great experience with LPL on a recent conveyancing matter. Worked closely with Nicholas, who dealt with what turned out to be a particularly challenging lender. He stayed on top of it, pursued every detail, and kept things moving when it could easily have stalled. Really professional throughout, communicative, and got the job done. Would happily recommend LPL and Nicholas Foy in particular to anyone needing a conveyancer who'll actually push things through. Thanks again!

Thank you for your review and high rating, we really appreciate it. We're glad to hear you were pleased with the service from Nic and the team.

Omitting one star as we initially experienced issues with the other solicitor assigned to our case at LPL. However, once Ms. Sima Ludi took over, everything was handled swiftly and efficiently. She quickly got on top of the situation, resolved outstanding issues, and moved things forward without unnecessary delays. Communication was excellent, all emails and queries were answered promptly, and she worked hard to ensure matters progressed as quickly as possible. Her efficiency and proactive approach made a real difference in getting the transaction back on track and ensuring a smooth process. We are now very close to completion and look forward to receiving the keys to our new home.

I am very thankful to Beatrice. She is the best. I had an excellent experience working with Beatrice during the purchase of my house. She was highly professional throughout the entire process and was always on top of everything. Her proactive approach made a real difference — she stayed ahead of each stage, kept everything moving efficiently, and did her best to ensure the process was completed as quickly as possible without compromising on caution or quality. Her attention to detail, thoroughness, and high standard of work gave me a lot of confidence during what can often be a stressful experience. Communication was always clear and timely, and I felt well informed and supported from start to finish. I would highly recommend her services to anyone buying a property.

Maram Hassan provided an exceptional level of service throughout the process. Her clear communication and efficient handling of matters made the experience smooth and stress-free. As a first-time buyer, I particularly appreciated her patience in addressing my questions promptly and thoroughly. I definitely recommend using LPL when dealing with properties. I extend my sincere thanks to Maram and the team at LPL.

Inconsistent and inaccurate

I was disappointed with my experience using LPL for my property purchase. The main issues were communication and accuracy. Throughout the transaction, I found communication to be poor. I made several calls requesting a callback, but these were often not returned. This was particularly difficult as I was working overseas in a significantly different time zone and relied heavily on prompt responses. The regular excuse was they could not phone an international phone number, despite me only providing a UK number. More concerning was an error in the purchase price recorded on my file. I had provided the correct purchase price from the outset in the initial paperwork and also discussed the figures by phone before instruction because the purchase included a discount. Despite this, the incorrect price remained on their system and was only identified at completion, which meant I had to arrange additional funds at very short notice. During the complaints process, the firm maintained that I had originally provided the wrong figure, but they were unable to provide evidence to support that assertion when asked. I found this disappointing given that I held documentation showing the correct price had been supplied from the beginning. They acknowledged some shortcomings and offered a goodwill payment. However, I did not feel this fully reflected the stress and inconvenience caused. My experience was that the transaction was completed, but the service fell short in terms of communication, attention to detail, and accountability when errors were raised. LPL's latest tactic has been to come up with new reasons for their errors, or revert to old excuses which they can't provide evidence to support.

Poor service, no communication, look elsewhere

LPL failed to complete my purchase. Communication is appalling, you cannot speak with your solicitor via email or phone. The complaints team and the staff who respond to reviews are at times rude and made claims that were not factually accurate. They wasted my time for months without providing proper reasoning. It's also telling that after I changed to a more expensive firm my new solicitor was able to complete the case in good time and communicate with me during the process. The case was in fact not complex and did not warrant the significant delays LPL put me through. I do not recommend this firm; instruct a more professional firm.

Avoid at all costs

Utterly unsatisfactory experience with this company. They made buying and selling a nightmare. Avoid at all costs. From repeated administrative errors, rude and dismissive solicitors, poor communication and glacially slow service, this made our moving process incredibly stressful, frustrating, difficult and upsetting. I do not usually leave negative reviews but I wouldn’t want anyone to go through the same ordeal as us. The company have also failed to respond to my complaint.

Shocking follow up. Extremely unprofessional.

Entire chain at wits end with LPL. Lack of follow up , no call backs and agents and all parties desperate to follow up and get details. Unprofessional behaviour.

Exceptional Support Throughout My Home Purchase! I recently used LPL for the conveyancing of my new home, and I couldn't be happier with the service provided. Moving house is notoriously stressful, but the team at LPL made the entire process incredibly smooth and manageable. Here is why I highly recommend them: I was kept informed at every single stage of the purchase. They were always quick to reply to my emails and took the time to explain everything. They proactively pushed the chain forward, chased up paperwork, and ensured there were no unnecessary delays. Every interaction was polite, reassuring, and highly professional. I felt completely safe in their hands. Thank you to the entire team at LPL for helping me get the keys to my new home. If you want a solicitor firm that is reliable, proactive, and genuinely cares, look no further!

Used LPL when purchasing a property, they came reccomended by Halifax and I’m glad I used them for my conveyancing. From start to finish Baran kept me in the loop, was always happy to answer any questions I had and was very friendly. Using LPL made the very stressful experience of buying a house much easier, would highly recommend to anyone.

We appreciate your excellent feedback and are thrilled you were so pleased with our service.
