Excellent Firm

"This was our first time buying and selling at the same time, and Owen Paulo could not have made it easier! We had an added complication of the sale and purchase being shared ownership, but our solicitor took this on with ease and made sure to explain every step and set expectations for timelines"

I had an excellent experience with Owen Paulo. They were professional throughout the entire process, kept me regularly updated, and were extremely thorough in their work. Any emails I sent were answered promptly, which made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Overall, I was extremely pleased with the service I received and would not hesitate to recommend Owen Paulo to others. I would certainly use their services again in the future.

Professional and communicative

Smooth process, took the expected amount of time, and they were pretty communicative. Obviously I won't name the seller's solicitors, but he was getting more updates from me than them, because OPL kept me informed.

What should have been a straightforward shared ownership purchase took almost twelve months from instruction to completion, far longer than it should have. The compliance process alone ran from August 2025 until completion in May 2026, despite me responding promptly and providing all requested documentation promptly throughout. The conveyancing side of the transaction was handled very well. Ann Beake was thorough, professional and clearly knew what she was doing, while the completions team were efficient and responsive right through to completion day. I felt well looked after by both of them, and the process from exchange to completion was seamless. Unfortunately, the compliance team significantly let the overall experience down. Documents that had already been provided were repeatedly requested again, and a signed gift letter sent by post in August 2025 was lost within their own filing system for over four months. It was only located in January 2026 after I challenged the request and provided evidence that it had already been submitted. Information requests also arrived in a piecemeal and disorganised manner, rather than as a clear, consolidated list, which became increasingly frustrating. Ann and the wider conveyancing team deserve better support from compliance. I would use Owen Paulo again on the strength of the conveyancing team alone, but the compliance process needs serious improvement. Update following Owen Paulo's response: Thank you for taking the time to respond. For clarity, the signed gift letter was posted on 30 August 2025 and was not located until 8 January 2026, after I challenged a further request for the document and provided evidence that it had already been submitted. In my view, this four-month delay was the single biggest factor in extending the overall timeline of the transaction and was entirely avoidable. I fully appreciate that AML and source-of-funds checks are legal requirements and can be complex. My frustration was never with the existence of those checks, but with the administration of the process itself. I am pleased to hear that the firm is reviewing its compliance procedures, and I hope the feedback proves useful.

Hi James, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Although it is lovely to hear that overall you had a positive experience with the conveyancing side of the work, we are sorry to hear that you were dissatisfied with the compliance element. I can completely understand your frustration around compliance, unfortunately the compliance process itself is consistently ongoing and, depending on how a client is receiving the funds they are using for their deposit, can be complex and lengthy. In order to ensure that we are meeting our requirements of AML checks per the SRA and the UK government, we do reserve the rights to request the documents we feel are necessary (within reason, of course) in order to satisfy us (and the SRA should they wish to check) that we have met our customer due diligence. We completely appreciate that this can feel invasive and monotonous and if there were instances where repeat documents were requested then we certainly do apologise as it is not our intention to make an already stressful process feel even more so. The original gift letter that was sent to us was filed away in a different part of the file (and not filed away in the compliance section) and so when searching for it, the compliance team were not able to see it and therefore unaware that it had been provided, we do apologise if this caused an unnecessary stress for you during your transaction. Please rest assured, we certainly take your comments on board. We are looking at ways in which we can improve upon the compliance process and I have passed your comments on to the head of the compliance team so that they may be used for this purpose. We are happy to hear that you have completed, and we wish you all the best in your new home. Kind Regards, Owen Paulo

Chris and Eleanor helped me with my shared ownership purchase and I couldn’t recommend them more! They got us to the point of exchange where all the legal work was completed within about 3 months, however we didn’t exchange and complete for another 2 months due to EWS1 issues (completely out of their control)! Through all the stress they were there to answer all my questions and help me along the way. They were very supportive, helpful and efficient. Owen Paulo was very easy and simple to use with competitive pricing (especially for Building Safety Act!). I definitely will be using them again for staircasing.

Good afternoon Leia, Thank you for taking to time to leave a review of the service received by Chris and Eleanor. We are very proud of them and the hard work that they provide to each and every one of their clients and I know they will be delighted to read your comments. We are sorry to hear that you had some delays because of the EWS1, especially when the legal work was done, I can imagine how frustrating that must have felt, but it is great to hear that they were both there for you to help alleviate any stress you felt. Your recommendation of us is truly appreciated and we wish you all the best in your new home. Please do not hesitate to reach out for any future conveyancing needs. Kind Regards, Owen Paulo

We cannot recommend Owen Paulo highly enough. Our purchase was incredibly complex - a shared ownership resale in a lengthy chain, with multiple mortgage offer deadlines, chain delays and moments where it looked like everything might fall apart. Throughout it all, Caroline and Lucy were professional, proactive and genuinely caring. Caroline in particular went above and beyond, even asking to be notified of exchange whilst she was on annual leave. They fought our corner at every turn and we truly believe we would not have completed without their dedication. If you are buying a shared ownership property, look no further. Thank you so much to the whole team.

A representative from Owen Paulo Legal Limited responded to this review

Good morning Rosie, Wow, thank you for such lovely words. It was an honour to be able to act for you and see you through to completion successfully. We are very proud of Caroline, who shows such a care for her clients and a drive to get them to exchange and completion as quickly as she possibly can, something she appears to have achieved for you! I have passed your comments on to Lucy and Caroline as I know they will be delighted to read them.

As a first-time buyer purchasing a shared ownership property, I was really grateful for the support and professionalism from this solicitor firm throughout the whole process. They were responsive, efficient, and kept everything moving quickly, making what could have been a stressful experience feel much easier and more manageable. They explained everything clearly, kept me updated throughout, and made the process much easier to understand. I always felt reassured that everything was being handled properly, and I would highly recommend them to anyone, especially first-time buyers looking for a smooth and reliable service.

Good afternoon Jeyaranjan Vivek Thank you so much for your lovely review! It is always lovely to see that our clients have had such a great experience, and to hear that we helped to make the legal side of your purchase the easiest it can be is possibly one of the highest forms of praise we could receive. Conveyancing, as a process can be incredibly complex, and when you add on the element of shared ownership, it only makes it harder. We always work to ensure that our clients feel as little difficulty and stress that comes with buying a home, as possible, and it certainly sounds like this was achieved for you. I have passed your comments on to Lucy & Caroline as I know they will be delighted to read them. We wish you all the best in your new home and please do not hesitate to reach out for any future conveyancing needs. Kind Regards, Owen Paulo
