Amazing service

I highly recommend Solicitor Direct. Our solicitor Emma was amazing. She went above and beyond to ensure we were able to complete and buy our dream home. Her work ethic, professionalism, timely manner and empathy meant she was an absolute pleasure to work with. First class service.

Sale of property

The sale of my property should have been completed in early to mid October but the buyers solicitors failed to complete correctly several documents leading to a lengthy process. Solicitors Direct went above and beyond in this matter even to the point of advising the buyers solicitor.

Our experience was excellent.
Alex Forrest is an experienced and unflappable solicitor who kept everyone on an even keel whilst the other solicitors in the chain were emoting
His advice was always brief and to the point and delivered in a friendly manner.

Terrible Service

Poor communication throughout and mistakes made consistently. Agreed to something on my behalf that I wasn’t made aware of which resulted in a financial loss for me.

Professional, friendly and efficient service

Would 100% recommend this firm and Emma who was great to deal with throughtout the sale of our house.
We didn't really know where to begin having never sold a house before but Emma took control and sorted everything effectively and efficiently, keeping us updated every step of the way and always explaining in detail what info / data we needed to supply and why.
Professional, affordable and so approachable....you won't go far wrong with Emma helping you with a house sale completion. Thank you so much for everything :)

Friendly and very helpful

I have used Solicitor Direct for remortgages in the past, this time was the purchase of a brand new house. A process I have never been through before and was quite a bit different. However the staff were all very friendly and happy to explain the process and help us to understand anything we were not sure of. I would highly reccomend this firm to anyone who needs a solicitor for anything property related.

Great Solicitors Great Service Great Price

I have been using the services of Solicitor Direct over the past two decades and they have never failed me. They have provided a great service to me and my family over the years for buying and selling both residential property and buy-to-let property. Regardless of the complexity - handling freeholds/leaseholds/covenants they have steered me through to completion.

A very professional, friendly and responsive team

Thank you to Alex and Anne at Solicitor Direct for the very professional service that they offered me during the purchase of my first home. They were very responsive and informative from the outset, talking me through each stage carefully and clearly and answering my many questions in a patient and timely way as we went through this process together. I felt very confident with them and would highly recommend their services.

I would highly recommend solicitors direct, they are on the ball and keep you well informed. Leon was a pleasure to liaise with and went above and beyond to complete on my purchase before my buyers mortgage expired. Excellent service, keep up the great work!

Would steer clear of these, don’t feel we received the service we expected, wasn’t value for money and we feel they actual cost us the sale of our house and we still had to pay full cost for a failed house sale. 👎👎👎

Mega!! Bold word to use but justified that I used Solicitors Direct on the purchase of my first house and again to move house. A long process all in all at no fault of the Solicitors directly but accommodations were friendly and helpful throughout the whole process. If I needed to chew Emma or Alex's ear about anything throughout the process they were nothing but friendly and happy to assist. I will 100% use them again in the future should I move house again and if anyone asks for any recommendations I will definitely put there names at the top of the recommendation list. Words honestly couldn't thank Emma and Alex enough for all there support and kindness over the last 14 months.

Many thanks
