Run away! Avoid this company. Worst decision ever.

-10 stars, not one if possible. That was the worst decision ever. I chose the company because was recommended by Soresi the developer where I wanted to buy the flat. At the very beginning everything went well, and seemed to be a good choice until Kaitlyn R. supposed to check the source of funds. Since end of May until today she was not able to track £19,000 from which £15,000 was from selling an asset. Tracking around £5000 became her main purpose in life and emailed to me few times that our file is very complex. The supervisor and head of the department Katie B and Wayne M. had plenty of time since the end of July when I sent Kaitlyn all she asked to check our file and update us if anything else is needed. This never happened, she came with some nonsens to provide tax return for 2024 when I was director for my company but I haven’t received any money from there because I have always been employed. However, I passed through that but she started to ask the same questions and requested the sane documents which already gave it to her. The phone number she has on the email is either not working or she doesn’t want to be bothered. I called also the main number on the website and requested a call back many times. Nobody contacted. I have just waisted 3 months of my life waiting them to do their job and in the end my application for the flat I wanted was withdrawn thanks to this company. If you see good reviews is probably from family or friends. Avoid this company, they don’t deserve even a star. I am wondering now for what I paid them, because they ask for some money beforehand.

This company is a scam. They fish you in with a cheap quote, and then add, add and add. I had a quote for £1800.00. Then after many add on's, some of which I was not aware of, the final bill came to £3340.00. That is nearly £1400 in extra fees. And this had to be paid within 2 days of completion.

I would highly recommend my solicitor for their excellent service during the purchase of my first home in the UK. Special thanks to Katie for her professionalism, efficiency, and support throughout the entire process. Everything went very smoothly, and what I really appreciated was that the whole process was handled via email – simple, convenient, and without any unnecessary complications or unpleasant surprises. I always felt well-informed and in good hands from start to finish. Definitely recommended!

I had such a good experience with them. My biggest thanks to Georgia from Tania’s team, Ollie for completion. I didn’t have any issues with fees, I was billed exactly what was agreed. As well my developer was really difficult and delayed the whole thing by 8 months. Georgia was so responsive and kept me updated along the way. I couldn’t wish for the better team. And now finally my keys will be handed in few days, and this team made my life fraction less stressful. Thank you all!

Shared Direction far exceeded every expectation I had from start to finish. There were multiple occasions when I asked for updates or clarification, and I always received an extremely prompt and helpful response. Every question was answered clearly, and I felt fully informed throughout the whole process. As a first-time buyer, I had so many unknowns throughout the entire process. Unfortunately, I had also only ever heard horror stories about buying property and solicitor delays, so I was naturally quite nervous going into it. I am genuinely so grateful to Rebecca Martin, Case Officer; Tanya Hills, Lawyer; and Andrew Bruce and Caroline Gardiner, Completions Officers. Together, they made what could have been a very stressful experience feel straightforward and manageable. I understood everything at each stage, which gave me a great deal of confidence and reassurance. I also thought the text message updates were excellent. They were informative, timely and helped me feel reassured that things were progressing. The online portal was incredibly easy to navigate, and every detail seemed carefully thought out. Even the page marker tabs showing exactly where I needed to sign on documents were helpful and made the process much simpler. It was a level of service that genuinely went above and beyond my expectations. There were also no surprises when it came to costs. I was billed exactly what I expected, which added to the sense of transparency and trust throughout the process. Please pass on my personal thanks to Rebecca, Tanya, Andrew, Caroline and everyone else involved in my case. I work with many different brands and companies every week, and I honestly cannot remember receiving customer service of this standard before. Thank you all for your professionalism, support and outstanding service.
