Value for money

!

Limited data.

This firm - 85%
National Average
Poor Competitive Excellent

Excellent does not necessarily mean ‘cheap’. It means that clients thought that the level of service received was Excellent for what they paid.

This score has been calculated using up to the last 300 reviews left by clients of PLS Solicitors on ReviewSolicitors.

  • How much were you initially quoted or how much did you expect to pay?
  • Approximately how much did you end up spending for the legal services provided (ignoring disbursements and court fees)
  • Did you think this was underpriced, overpriced or about right?
  • Overall experience

We use data science to amalgamate the answers to these questions and create a ‘ReviewSolicitors score’ out of 100. The above chart representation score is a simple percentage representation of the averaged score across those who have reviewed this law firm.

Extremely Disappointed with Service

I had a very frustrating experience with this firm and would strongly advise others to look elsewhere if they’re hoping for a smooth, efficient process.

I was initially assigned Joulia, whose communication and service were extremely poor. Things did not improve much when I was passed over to Jackson. He was consistently hard to reach, and I had to chase him multiple times just to get basic updates. It became clear he was overwhelmed with workload and simply couldn’t cope.

The delays and lack of attention to detail caused serious friction with the seller’s solicitor, who had to repeatedly correct Jackson due to avoidable errors. What should have been a relatively straightforward process ended up taking six months to complete.

Even after completion, I was due a payment from the bank that Jackson held onto – and I only received it because I remembered and followed up myself. I'm genuinely concerned I wouldn't have received it at all had I not chased.

This wasn’t a one-off hiccup. It was a pattern of poor communication, inattention, and disorganisation from start to finish. I absolutely do not recommend this firm to anyone looking for a reliable or professional solicitor.

Above and beyond

Some confusion over searches when we stipulated none required. However Peter Shell was outstanding and went above and beyond to get the exchange and completion in time.

Patient and clear advice

The service was of high quality. During the course of the process, when I felt under a lot of pressure/stress, Ashfa was very patient with me and she listened to me and explained things which helped to reassure me. Thank you Ashfa.

Natalie Nugent was always there to support my purchase every step of the way and kept me updated. She really worked hard to get me to the stage of exchange. I would recommend her to handle the process.

I recently used PLS Solicitors for the purchase of my two-bedroom flat and couldn’t be happier with the service. Clare and Amy were professional throughout the entire process, with excellent communication at every stage. Any questions I had were answered promptly and clearly, which really helped put my mind at ease. The whole transaction was handled efficiently, and I always felt supported. I’d definitely recommend PLS Solicitors to anyone looking for a reliable and professional conveyancing team.

Joulia helped me throughout my purchase. She’s spot on. Her communication was good. She went on annual leave and her colleagues were communicative in her absence. This was appreciated.

Really have no complaints about the process with PLS, was a long process, but to no fault of PLS.

If I were to buy again, I’d probably use PLS again.

This is now the second time I use PLS and I've had an outstanding experience with the help of Louis Blanchard. I can't think of what more I could've asked from him. Thank you for all the hard work, Louis!
