    Upon my initial conversation with Vijaya Sumputh regarding my issue, she attentively listened and informed me of its validity. She outlined her intentions to explore the possibility of settling out of court; if that proves unfeasible, we may be compelled to proceed to court. We attended court and achieved victory. I am quite delighted with the service.

    Excellent assistance

    I had an urgent enquiry regarding a family difficulty. I was at that stage not sure if I wanted to proceed but needed further clarification. Adrian Boulter contacted me back and took time to explain the situation, the possible actions that could be taken and the potential outcomes. I have to say his advice and the time he took to listen to me and advise me was second to none. I have since decided to not proceed at this time but I will always be so very grateful for the time he took over the problem in question. Thank you Adrian! Ms Cohen

From the first meeting through to completion of matters, Vijaya Sumputh was helpful, professional, open and efficient. I am so appreciative to both Vijaya and her team.

      I’d highly recommend Curwens LLP Solicitors. Omar and Sabeena were clear, professional and genuinely supportive from the first conversation, and they explained everything so I always knew where I stood.

      Poor communication and costly delays – Curwens (Enfield) My property sale fell through post-valuation at week 10 of conveyancing, largely due to an 8-week delay on their end in answering just two basic enquiries from the buyer's solicitor.—enquiries I was able to find answers for by myself in 3 weeks post-collapse. — This unnecessary lag resulted in significant wasted legal fees and holding expenses on my part. Communication was consistently poor throughout. Based on this experience, I strongly recommend sellers opt for a conveyancing team that operates on a true "No Sale, No Fee" basis to ensure their incentives align with actually progressing the sale. Very disappointing experience with Curwens Enfield. EDIT* Curwens' response below claims senior management is "actively reviewing" my file. In reality, at the time of posting my review, their internal complaints procedure was already fully completed and closed after they dismissed my concerns. No further internal investigation was offered until this public review appeared.

      A representative from Curwens LLP responded to this review

      Please accept our sincere apologies for the stress caused by your aborted sale. Our senior management team is actively reviewing your file timeline internally. Our client care letter outlines a direct, formal route to raise any service concerns with us. Please contact us directly so we can review the matters you raise.
