Unprofessional and lacking Customer service or thought

I engaged the company to act for my property purchase, and after an email from me to them, to ask for an update on progress, i was advised that the team member has been signed off sick for the forseeable, so another team member "will" pick the file up. I questioned whether this issue would cause delays ad it was "will", not "has", and asked if i would be free to leave if there would be issues due to workloads, as i think is fair. The response was that they would be able to handle it accordingly, but i can now leave. Before finishing an email conversation about the matter, they had already communicated to all parties they were no longer representing me, and point blank told me to find other representation.

Terrible

I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone. We have been waiting for 18 months for a transfer of land, a simple procedure, no searches, just a transfer. On multiple occasions we have been told we haven't handed paperwork to them, to be then advised "awh, we've found it". This is terrible service, terrible communication, terrible administration. Do not use this company!!!

Donna and Laura (in Donna's absence) dealt with my home purchase.
You couldn't ask for a nicer couple of ladies. Both answered my enquiries in a timely fashion, very knowledgeable, friendly and completely on the ball.

If you are looking for a conveyancer who will respond quickly and keep you updated at every stage then either of these ladies can do the job. Highly recommended.

From start to finish everything was explained fully. The experience was first class. My wife and I was nervous and apprehensive about meeting with our Solicitor from Maples. But we need not have worried everything went smoothly from first appointment to completion.

Excellent Solicitors. Friendly, professional, proactive service with timely results & reasonable prices. Quoted me approximately £3000 to administer my wife's estate, there being no enforceable will & to transfer property into my name which necessitated a full conveyance & mortgage arrangement. The final invoice was nearer £2000 ! Happy Days !!!😁

About this branch

Description

Maples Solicitors LLP (originally Maples & Son) was founded in the late 1820’s by Ashley Maples (1806-1886) (pictured top left) who for over 50 years was one of the most prominent figures in the public life of Spalding. He was a member of the Spalding Improvement Board (a predecessor of the District Council), Clerk to the Spalding Guardians (who ran the Workhouse) and a Town Husband. Further, he was Superintendent Registrar and for many years the offices of Maples & Son were the Registry Office for Spalding and District; the last link between these organisations only ceasing in 2005, so that many Registry Office weddings were conducted in our building. HE was also a Feoffee of the Spalding Living (that is, one of the Trustees who appointed the Vicar of Spalding), Governor of the Moulton Endowed School and Treasurer of the Spalding Gentleman’s Society; organisations which the firm continues to be associated with as Clerk and/or Legal Advisor to this day.
