Straightforward, clear, non-pushy advice

I received clear answers to the specific questions I had been seeking guidance on. Tim was straightforward, honest and kind. I do not need to engage a solicitor at the current time but I will certainly be back to Poole Alcock when I do.

My worst experience with a law firm! Why can't I award zero stars?

Just terrible. Why can't I give no stars? 5 months into property sale with little to no progress despite no chain either side. No one ever to speak to. Never get calls returned. Error after error have delayed us by months. No accountability and no apology. Submitted a complaint only to be threatened that further complaints will further delay things. I'm really unsure what to do.

Whilst the process of selling in a chain was problematic, Poole Alcock (PA) have been steadfast in their approach. The communication with PA has been first class.

Although I had not heard of them before, I decided to use Poole Alcock Solicitors based on on-line reviews, my research of them and price. I'm pleased to say that it was a good decision. They handled my house sale efficiently and professionally reaching completion as quickly as they could have. The pre-sale information from the company was very helpful and James Williams and his team kept me up to speed throughout the process. My experience was drama free and they always responded to my inputs promptly and in a friendly and helpful way. Overall, a very positive experience.

I was shopping around local firm to instruct a solicitor for my 1st house purchase. From the initial consultation with the enquiry team - mollie, I was impressed with the clear communication and reassurance of quality service the firm provides their client. I was introduced to James William team ( James, Lauren & Nicola) and throughout the process I was kept well informed of every stage and the entire process has been a seamless & stress free. I have heard horror stories of firm not replying to their client however in my case, I was the one delaying to send my papers back due to my tenancy commitment. I highly recommend Poole Alcock, Nantwich- James William team( James , Lauren & Nicola)to anyone seeking reliable & professional Conveyencing services. Thank you for delivering an outstanding Conveyencing service.

We used Poole Alcock for both the sale of of our previous home and the purchase of our forever one. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anybody requiring conveyancing for property sales or purchase. Their service was exemplary on both occasions from start to finish. Glad we used them.
