Slow to reply, lack of empathy and lack of diligence.

Our housebuilders had already completed the surveys and checks, we just needed a solicitor signature. It took several weeks to get a reply at which point she hadn't read any emails or the files provided by the builders, as she tried to initiate the surveys again.
Also, one time she spoke with the mortgage provider without discussing with us first and almost cost us our mortgage offer.
Finally, she frequently dismissed our concerns and left everything to the last minute so our builder's lawyers had to chase her and we were worried we'd lose the house. When speaking with her about this, Victoria dismissed our worries with no shred of empathy.

Sale of property

Firm was recommended by our Estate Agent. First Solicitor not great. 2nd Person did great job. All answers below are directly linked to Maddison
Cannot understand why you spend so much money on developing a App for your Firm
and still to this date we have not sold the property. Pending is the in word.

House Sale and Purchase

Graham and his team were very proactive during our house sale and purchase, we never felt we needed to follow up with them and they kept matters moving, together with our agent. We would recommend Boys and Maughan and be happy to use them again.

Solicitor, Victoria Simpson is an excellent conveyancing solicitor. She has been my solicitor for a number of years and completed several conveyancing matters for me. I followed her from her previous practice because she is very conscientious, expeditious and approachable.
I can't really comment on the company itself but I would definitely recommend Victoria for conveyancing.

As a first time buyer i had no idea of the process and what to expect. But everything from start to finish went very smoothly, there was an issue with the developers which caused a hold up of purchase but i was kept informed of progress at every step and completed in good time. I cannot thank Victoria and her team enough for their expertise. i would highly recommend.
