Horrific experience with Bradley Bernett and Curwens - 0*

Bradley’s rude and unprofessional behaviour cost us two houses and thousands of pounds. He may have some personal issues he is dealing with, but he behaved in a very aggressive, rude, unprofessional and immature manner and then went AWOL for 4 days. This cost us the second house. In the first case, he sat on a very important piece of information for 3 weeks, and by the time we were able to action it, the vendors pulled out. Bradley isn’t fit to be doing the role he is in, and Curwens has no complaints procedure or cover for unstable employees. To date we haven’t received a reply to any of our complaint emails and escalations. Disappointed to have been mistreated by this firm and Bradley, and this has cost us two homes and a sizeable amount of cash and immeasurable amount of stress.

Outstanding service, Knowledgable and straight talking from Adrian Boulter.

I contacted Curwens as my husband has used Kaajal for an employment issue previously and she was great. I had a very complex case where I had been badly let down by a previous solicitor and had no idea what to do about it. Adrian very kindly responded quickly, obtained all legal documents and gave his honest opinion on the merits of my case. He did so without charge and this can’t have been an easy job due to the sheer volume. He spoke in a language very easy to understand rather than all the legal jargon…. All I can say is that I wish I had used Curwens at the start of my claim as I think I would be in a very different position now. Thanks so much Adrian!

Good professional service

Have used Curwens for many years and always been very satisfied with their work. We needed the professional help of Adrian Boulter recently and we were very happy with his work. Adrian provided very thorough, concise and clear advice. At all times, we were very comfortable with his approach. Adrian kept us informed of progress in a timely manner. He was also conscious of keeping costs to a reasonable level which we appreciated. We are very grateful to Adrian for the way he worked to resolve a difficult situation. Thank you. We would recommend both Curwens and Adrian.

Terrible Firm

This firm were utterly unhelpful when it came to my flat purchase in a new build development and it was a lesson why you shouldn’t use the developer's "recommended solicitor" which I would never do again. At all times it felt like Bradley Bernett was totally on the side of the developer, not the client and therefore never presented all of the facts or options correctly or clearly, it was clear that his job was to keep purchasers locked into their contract, while the developer made up excuse after excuse for the huge delays to the development. Curwens were even complicit when the developer fraudulently served notice to complete on all buyers when the building wasn't ready or safe to be occupied and even got purchasers to serve a fourteen day notice back to the developer when we couldn't complete after 14 days, thus legitimising the developer's illegal notice. Even though 2 years later the building is still not completed to the spec it was advertised and sold at, with the developer in liquidation, Bradley is still acting as if this is all totally normal and telling people their only option is to complete. Bradley is never available on the phone, he is arrogant, his emails never answer all of the questions asked and he clearly doesn't know how to use spell check. Bradley is actually a Private Client Executive, not a solicitor, which might explain some of his incompetence, if life wasn't so short I'd be taking him to the SRA.

First class legal advice firm. Mr. Liam Rochford took my case very seriously and dealt with it extremely professionally. A lawyer with a high professional level and a very responsible person whom I realized I could rely on and trust completely. I want to express my deep gratitude to him and the entire CURWENS LLP for what they did for me!Thank you very much! Highly recommended

We were very pleased with our recent experience of the Curwens Hoddesdon office. The solicitor - Alexandra - was very professional and efficient throughout the whole process of drawing up a Will for myself and my wife. We were kept in the loop at every stage, which made the process a smooth experience. As a result, we would highly recommend Alexandra Ridley and the Curwens team.

Resolution

I found myself dealing with a completely unfounded claim for wrongful dismissal and other fabricated allegations from an employee who had resigned and openly acknowledged doing so, yet still pursued a case with the help of his lawyers. A trusted friend recommended I speak to Omar Qassim, and I’m very glad I did. Omar and the team at Curwen’s helped me navigate an extremely stressful and challenging situation with clarity, reassurance, and professionalism.

Patient, Professional and Supportive Throughout

A huge thank you to Suzan and Bradley at Curwens for guiding us through the sale of our property. While we were fortunate to secure an offer we were happy with, the journey from accepted offer to completion became much longer and more complex than anyone anticipated. Along the way there were countless enquiries, requests, requirements and unexpected hurdles to navigate. Throughout it all, Suzan and Bradley were professional, responsive and incredibly patient. Their communication was clear and timely, and they always took the time to explain what was needed, answer questions and keep matters moving wherever possible. Property transactions can be stressful at the best of times, but having experienced professionals in your corner makes all the difference. We always felt supported and reassured, even during the more challenging periods of the process. Thank you both for helping us get over the line. After a long and sometimes testing journey, we were delighted to complete and greatly appreciated your hard work, persistence and support throughout. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Curwens to anyone looking for trusted conveyancing solicitors.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience and for your kind words. While securing a great offer is always an exciting start, property sales can often throw unexpected hurdles and complex enquiries your way. We are so pleased to hear that Suzan and Bradley were able to provide the steady guidance, expertise, and support needed to successfully navigate those challenges and get you across the finish line to completion. We will be sure to pass your huge thank you along to both of them. Thank you for choosing Curwens to handle your property sale, and we wish you all the very best in your next chapter.

Outstanding Service from Start to Finish!

Bradley acted on our behalf for both the sale and purchase of our property, both with nuanced complexities, and was extremely diligent from start to finish. Most importantly, he operates with militant responsiveness, and was available 24/7 when we needed quick answers. Have since referred to friends and family. Would highly recommend!

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.

I have been to Curwens for both my will and a Declaration of Trust document. On both occasions, I found the solicitors to be extremely knowledgeable and helpful. No question was too 'daft' and responses to phone calls and to emails, were prompt and always answered my queries. Not only was everything completed to a high standard; I was also able to work on a fixed fee basis which meant that, despite my asking thousands of questions and fretting over things, the costs didn't spiral and remained affordable. Everything sorted now and I am 100% delighted with the services from Curwens. Alexandra is a particular superstar!

Used Hannah Collins for our purchase of land. It was the worse experience, she couldn’t be bothered, didn’t represent us well at all, gave me terrible anxiety, charged us a ridiculous amount of money. The whole experience was bad from start to finish.
