Disappointing….

Appointed Pellys to prepare wills for my wife and I together with powers of attorney. My wife has dementia and it was important that I had LPA to look after my wife’s health and finances. Solicitor decided that my wife was unfit to authorise LPA, although ok to agree her will and failed to communicate this to me. Documents dropped in to Royston office by me were lost leading to further delay. Most disappointing was the total failure to return phone calls, reply to emails or messages left with reception. A thoroughly unprofessional and discourteous way of working.

I have also had concerns regarding Pellys compliance with Data Protection legislation. After they used my personal details without approval, I raised a Subject Access Request. This was sent to Data Protection Officer and their Managing Director. Despite confirming they would respond, they never did. I then raised the issue with the Information Commissioner, who directed Pellys to respond; again they never did so. I then wrote again to their Data Protection Officer, pointing out they had been required to provide information in accordance with their legal obligations. All I ever received was a further email, confirming a response would be provided the next day - some five months later I have received nothing further and find it difficult to understand why a legal firm will not comply with the law.

Executors of a Will

Pellys were the Executors of my fathers Will, the communication from them was appalling. I wrote several emails asking for updates, most of which were ignored. When they did eventually settle the inheritance they wrote to me saying the legacy was from the will of my late Grandfather!!! it was my father!!! I would never recommend this firm, a bereavement is a most upsetting time without the stress of trying to get information from the executors...and then getting a letter stating the wrong relative.

Stephen Lacey at Pellys Solicitos has provided excellent support and guidance for our freehold transactions and lease extensions. We have been satisfied with Stephen Lacey for over 20 years dealing with many conveyances and will continue to call upon his services and expertise in the future. Additionally, Pellys office support has been prompt and courteous, and the fees suitable.

We used Pellys, mainly Adele and Stephen at the Royston office, to deal with the sale of our mother’s house. They responded to any queries on a timely basis with calls either taken or returned and kept us up to date on the progress of the sale. Helpful advice was given and a successful and prompt sale achieved. The staff we came into contact with have been professional, efficient and friendly. I would recommend.
