Disappointing experience, poor communication and delays

I would not recommend this service. We experienced repeated delays and a complete lack of communication during our house purchase, despite there being no chain involved. The process was far more stressful than it needed to be. Bromley office - CC

A representative from Judge And Priestley LLP responded to this review

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and I’m truly sorry to hear that your experience with our Bromley office did not meet your expectations. We understand how stressful a property purchase can be, especially when delays and poor communication add unnecessary pressure — and even more so when there is no chain involved. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, and I sincerely apologise for the frustration and inconvenience caused. Please can you email me at nnewsome@judge-priestley.co.uk so that I am able to share your comments with the relevant team so we can review what went wrong and take steps to prevent similar experiences in the future. We are committed to delivering a more efficient and communicative service to all our clients. If you would be willing to speak with us further about your experience, I would welcome the opportunity to understand more and offer any appropriate follow-up. Thank you again for your honest feedback.

Sarah was brilliant and reinstilled my faith in British law and justice! On a personal level her empathy, understanding and advice has so far been exemplary and invaluable (especially as it has allowed me to get some much needed sleep!!). Sarah understood my complex situation and made some excellent suggestions which I am seriously considering. When my situation clarifies, then for sure I will employ Sarah for the rest of the process.

As we started searching for houses, I asked around for a good covenyance solicitor. Mr James Ray was recommended by one of colleagues who I trust very well. James was very professional and amicable. He took actions based on our request promptly. My wife and I thouroughly enjoyed working with him. Please be assured when you go through this house buying journey, James will take care of it. I highly recommend him to anyone.

Very satisfied

I have known this company for many years and also some of the lawyers, I have used them before and would do so again. It was a lengthy process owing to the fact that my buyer pulled out and I had to find a new one. J&P dealt with it all with patience and expert experience, I was very pleased with the eventual completion, it all went quite smoothly.

Excellent Solicitors

I have sold two houses with Judge and Priestley and they have done a superb job on both occasions. They are consistently professional, reliable and friendly. In my recent sale there were some challenges on the other side - the buyer's solicitors were disorganised and unresponsive - but Kavitha and her team managed the situation superbly to get the sale completed. I have found J&P very quick to respond to any queries I had by email or by phone and they gave me good advice when I needed it. Kavitha is a consummate professional and I was very pleased with the service she offered. I would absolutely use them a third time.

We have just completed on a house purchase, for which we used Judge & Priestley Solicitors, and could not recommend them enough. We never needed to chase, they are incredibly on the ball and thanks to their efforts, our purchase went through very quickly. Any queries we had were answered promptly and they could not have been more helpful throughout the process. We will absolutely be using their services in the future should we have need of it. Thank you for all your help!

Dear Callum, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that your house purchase went smoothly and quickly, and that our team could provide prompt and helpful support throughout the process. It’s great to know you felt well looked after every step of the way. We truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to assisting you again in the future!

James Ray is a credit to this company. I've not had the best experience with previous solicitors when buying/ selling. James was brilliant and dealt with all my questions professionally and quickly. He was always a call or email away. Highly recommend.

Dear Jessica, Thank you for your lovely review! We're so pleased to hear James provided such a positive experience and helped make the process smooth for you. We'll be sure to pass on your kind words—he’ll really appreciate them!

Sale and Purchase

We used Judge and Priestley for our sale and purchase and were really impressed with the service. Communication was clear throughout, emails were answered quickly and calls returned without delay, we always felt informed about the next steps. They handled several last‑minute issues calmly and kept the chain moving. I’d happily recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable conveyancer.

Making potentially complicated legal matters easy to understand

My wife and I, with no dependants, decided it was high time to make proper provisions as to how we would wish our assets to be used if either or both of us lost our ability to make rational decisions and on our passings, that our funerals could be properly arranged and our bequests go to both our friends and good causes without any hitches. Using a regulated firm of solicitors was our desired choice and following discussions at the offices of our local firm that had acted for us in property transaction previously we decided on Judge & Priestley. Russell Ali there was able to guide us through the processes needed and prepare our Wills and Powers of Attorney documents for us at a fair, fixed price. We are both more than happy with Russell's professionalism. An "excellent" rating is more than justified.

Dear Ray, Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear that Russell was able to make the process clear and straightforward for you, and to support you both in putting these important arrangements in place. It’s great to know you felt confident in your decision and that you were happy with the fixed-fee service provided. Your recommendation and kind words about Russell’s professionalism are truly appreciated.

Zara Packard very unprofessional individual. I requested the outcome of my case but constantly asking for reference number first then asking why you need to know the outcome. Only rang me once for the case and didn't get to talk to me. No email no nothing. A waste of time this solicitor is. Deserves No stars at all.

I cannot recommend David and the Private Client team highly enough. Following the death of my father, David assisted me with obtaining probate and the administration of the estate. If you are looking for an experienced wills and probate specialist, I would wholeheartedly recommend him. From our first meeting, David was compassionate, approachable and exceptionally knowledgeable. He took the time to explain every stage of the probate and estate administration process in clear and straightforward terms, which was invaluable during such a difficult time. What particularly impressed me was David's ability to deal with a number of unforeseen and complex issues that arose during the administration of the estate. His expertise in probate, inheritance tax matters and estate administration, together with his attention to detail and calm approach, gave me complete confidence that everything was being handled properly and efficiently. Throughout the matter, David and his Private Client team kept me fully informed, responded promptly to queries and provided outstanding client care. I also found his fee estimate to be fair, transparent and competitive when compared with other local solicitors I approached. Losing a parent is never easy, but David made a difficult and emotional process much more manageable for me and my family. His professionalism, guidance and support throughout the probate process were exceptional. If you need advice on probate, estate administration, wills or inheritance tax matters, I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending David and his team. Thank you, David, for your professionalism, expertise and support at every stage.

Our experience with Judge & Priestly was exceptional. We trusted them with our first home purchase which turned into an extremely long process (8 months). Every step of the way, we were provided with clear and helpful guidance and I trusted completely that Judge & Priestly were going above and beyond to ensure we were fully protected. There were multiple solicitors involved in the sale and it was abundantly clear that Judge & Priestly were the most competent and professional. Would recommend to anyone.
