The conveyancing process was handle from start to finish by Honey Shakeri and I was impressed throughout. All dealings, negotiations, etc, with the other party were handled efficiently and professionally throughout. I was kept fully informed during the process and felt supported at all times. I had not used Waterstone previously, but would not hesitate to engage them in the future.

Unfortunately not the best outcome

I worked with waterstone for conveyancing as a buyer. Whilst it was great at first, after exchange a lot of discrepancies and mistakes have come to light which is not being addressed. Due diligence was not done when reviewing the lease. To note one of the many challenges included misfiling stamp duty which caused a few months of stress and anxiety due to letters from HMRC, this took a couple of months to resolve. Other challenges include not reviewing the lease right, ground rent being wrong, wrong information about managing agents. I have chased for the last 7 months since exchange and unfortunately no resolution from Nithi, Shah or Waterstones group

Fiza handled my fairly complicated property sale and I cannot recommend her highly enough. I'd had a previous sale fall through and was therefore extremely anxious about the whole process but Fiza went above and beyond on communication. We were dealing with a tricky freeholder, slow management company, help to buy and a fairly demanding buyer but whenever I raised any query with Fiza 99% of the time she'd already chased the relevant person and been one step ahead. I would recommend her to anyone and I can't thank her enough!

I’ve had the experience of dealing with 4 conveyancing firms but this was by far worst I’ve experienced. Do not use them at all costs. Communication is extremely poor. They only work on your case when calling and chasing every week. It took 6 months to complete a chain free purchase due to delays caused by Waterstone. To add to this, they had the cheek to tell me to pay extra 250£ for completing within 10 days of exchange. Disgusting.

Just want to give a massive, massive, massive thank you to Waterstone Legal and Hredi Chhabria in particular. Hredi was so knowledgable and professional, she responded quickly to our queries and was able to provide the support throughout our house purchase. Our house purchase was a stressful one due to complications and delays from chains, and Hredi was so pro-active in ensuring a 3 way chain did not fall through! I can't thank her enough! have already recommended her to friends and family, and will most defiantly use This firm and Hredi again without hesitation.

Avoid This Firm At All Costs Shocking service. They knew all week that completion was set for today, yet the solicitor on the file went on holiday without preparing or properly handing it over. The person taking over clearly had no idea what they were doing. My solicitor was palmed off with excuses about “other completions” while my buyer’s money sat in their account ready to go. The delays and stress were completely avoidable. Total incompetence. If you want your sale to actually complete, avoid this firm.

Waterstone Legal has unfortunately lacked the high expectations that it holds itself up to. It is highly disappointing especially towards the process behind my mortgage. There was a lack of transparency and communication, for many days I was left without any response despite my consistent messages, calls and emails. It was rare instances at which she decided to message back, overall this has began to make me question whether Waterstone Legal is putting their client first and answering questions. Secondly, the attitude. Unfortunately, many people alongside myself aren't particularly aware of the processes behind these complicated systems like getting a mortgage and it is why we rely on Waterstone Legal. However, members at Waterstone have not offered that sense of understanding and somewhat rude at times when I was unable to understand what was being told or asked. It took awfully long for the mortgage to be processed and linked with the lack of transparency. Whilst there is no denying that issues may occur along the way, it should seem standard to be informed about the troubles and the duration of how long this may take. Finally, contacting the reception at Waterstone Legal was poor. When connected, they had no information in regards to the situation and hence would call me back after informing the relevant member. However, no call back had ever occurred. As you can see, Waterstone Legal has significantly undermined it's clients and their wellbeing, creating a rather unpleasant experience.

We had a very difficult process with this firm. There was a lot of confusion in regard to who was taking our case. As first time buyers, the lack of clarity and communication made the process extremely stressful. After our purchase and paying them their fees we started receiving communication from the council chasing a payment the previous owners didn’t do. This is of course not our bill but we’ve been chasing this for over 3 months, calling , sending emails to Waterstones. Incredibly time consuming and they say “they can’t do anything until the sellers respond”. This was their job in the first place and as a company they should be taking responsibility for it.

Dear Pepa, Thank you for your feedback. It is appreciated that this matter has been frustrating, and your patience is valued. As solicitors, there are strict confidentiality obligations, and for that reason it would not be appropriate to comment in detail on the specifics of your matter in a public forum. A personalised response will therefore be sent to you by email, so that the position can be addressed properly and in your best interests. Kind regards, Waterstone, Legal
