Slow Unclear and Stressful Process

AdKirk were appointed to handle an outstanding Land Registry issue that our original solicitor failed to complete — something we were unaware of at the time. Communication throughout the process was poor, and as we weren’t their original clients, we often felt like an afterthought. What should have been a simple task ended up taking almost two years, with me repeatedly chasing for updates and being given the same response each time: that it “can take up to two years.” After expressing my frustration to a family member, they resolved the issue within 24 hours. it took AdKirk a further two weeks — if not longer — to confirm file complete. After we did the work! Overall, the experience was slow, poorly communicated, and far more stressful than it needed to be. If I had a choice I wouldn’t have used them.

A representative from Adkirk Law Limited responded to this review

Hi Aimee, We are sorry to hear you were dissatisfied with the service you received at Adkirk Law. As you mentioned we took over management of your case due to the intervention of your previous law firm, we appreciate this can come as a shock. Our retainer only covered dealing with the registration of your property with the Land registry. Unfortunately, the time scales we are given by the land registry are out of our control and we can only provide clients with the information we are given. We can assure you we dealt with the requisitions raised by the land registry as soon as it was possible for us to do so. We are pleased your matter has been resolved. Best Regards, Adkirk Law Limited

Professional, knowledgeable, efficient

We've used Adkirk Law several times for conveyancing over the last 4 years, dealing with Linda Kirk, Anna Sparrow and more recently Amie Hodson. We like the comfort of using a proper law firm rather than online conveyancing outfits, simply because in property dealings, technical and occasionally tricky legal issues can arise, and we want the comfort of knowing that our advisers will have the experience and expertise to deal with whatever comes up. Adkirk Law's fees are competitive, clearly set out in advance with no hidden extras, and we have never been billed for more than was quoted. We have no hesitation in recommending Linda and her colleagues and we will certainly be using them again next time we have a conveyancing need.

My experience was over all a positive one. I had two dealings related to property, both were concluded successfully. Communication from Adkirk wasn't always fortcoming leaving long periods of time not knowing if any progress had been made, forcing me to call for an update, occasionally i was passed to what seemed like a third party(or home worker) who could only pass on messages. All worked out fine in the end.

I nearly pulled out of my sale through their lack of communication. My Estate Agent was continously trying to get updates a questioning why the process was taking so long. My property was empty and the buyer was in rented, so it should have taken 3 months instead of 6 months.

I’m very pleased with the service we’ve just received from Joanne Jessop at Adkirk Law. She answered phone calls & emails promptly, was proactive with our sale, organised and reassuring. I was wary of using a solicitor hundreds of miles away, but the sale was straightforward and I would have no hesitation in asking Joanne to act for us again in the future.

It felt like the customer needed to do all the chasing and they were unhelpful with a secondary issue we had, would not use them again.

HI Debra, We are sorry to hear you were dissatisfied with the service you received at Adkirk Law. Your file was assigned to us after intervention of your original Law firm. Unfortunately our retainer only covered dealing with the registration of the property with the Land Registry. As you were advised, In order for us to complete any further legal work the fee for this would not have been covered by the CLC and would incur additional charges payable by you.
