Conveyancing from Curwens

Bradley was absolutely brilliant, speedy and Uber responsive throughout. He chased a (difficult) set of solicitors acting on behalf of the vendor of the property I was buying and was a great communicator throughout.

Amendment to my will

With regards to changing the executors of my Will I received efficient service from Asher Bennett via the North Finchley office. Asher responded to my emails promptly and the legal service was turned around in quick time at a reasonable rate.

Invalid Enduring Powers of Attorney

Curwens prepared Enduring Powers of Attorney for both my parents. On requesting the originals from Curwens, we were informed that neither of the Powers of Attorney were valid. One was missing a date of signature and both had the dates of signature in the wrong sequence. It is evident that neither document was checked when returned by the client to Curwens. As a consequence we are having to start the application process for Powers of Attorney from the beginning. These are fundamental errors which should have been picked up by Curwens.

Always responded quickly to my queries

I used Jeff at Curwens for Probate on my mother’s estate because he had written my mother’s Will. My mother was a ‘value for money, no frills’ person and this is exactly the service that Curwens offer. Jeff was knowledgeable, thorough and always quick to respond to questions and when I told a friend how much I was being charged, they were impressed by how cheap it was and it’s only now, that I understand why it was so cheap, because I was paying a fixed fee for Jeff and his team (who were also excellent) to ‘apply for probate ONLY’ which is exactly what they did and did it well.
However, in that initial consultation with Jeff, I was never made aware that there was WAY MORE to dealing with someone’s estate than just applying for probate and in all honesty, had I realised how much pain I was about to face over many months of trying to deal with, and unpick the exceedingly complicated finances that my mother had left me, then I most certainly would have employed Curwens to do the whole job (I wasn’t aware that was an option and I should have been made aware). Anybody facing the same situation that I did, please realise that financial institutions DO NOT want to deal with executors and they make life as difficult as possible, they obviously would deal with solicitors much more favourably. This is the route we are taking with my father’s affairs, even though it’s much less complicated and this allows me time to grieve, a luxury I had to do without for my mother.
I have no doubt that had Jeff and his team taken on the whole task then they would have made a fine job of it.

House sale

Curwens acted for us in the sale of our house. They were approachable and we could always hand documents in to them despite covid restrictions. Courteous and professional, their response to e-mails was speedy, giving appropriate advice. It ensured the sale went smoothly. Our thanks to Pam, Stevie-Louise and all the team.

Horrific experience with Bradley Bernett and Curwens - 0*

Bradley’s rude and unprofessional behaviour cost us two houses and thousands of pounds. He may have some personal issues he is dealing with, but he behaved in a very aggressive, rude, unprofessional and immature manner and then went AWOL for 4 days. This cost us the second house. In the first case, he sat on a very important piece of information for 3 weeks, and by the time we were able to action it, the vendors pulled out.
Bradley isn’t fit to be doing the role he is in, and Curwens has no complaints procedure or cover for unstable employees. To date we haven’t received a reply to any of our complaint emails and escalations.
Disappointed to have been mistreated by this firm and Bradley, and this has cost us two homes and a sizeable amount of cash and immeasurable amount of stress.

Excellent assistance

I had an urgent enquiry regarding a family difficulty. I was at that stage not sure if I wanted to proceed but needed further clarification. Adrian Boulter contacted me back and took time to explain the situation, the possible actions that could be taken and the potential outcomes. I have to say his advice and the time he took to listen to me and advise me was second to none. I have since decided to not proceed at this time but I will always be so very grateful for the time he took over the problem in question. Thank you Adrian!

Outstanding service, Knowledgable and straight talking from Adrian Boulter.

I contacted Curwens as my husband has used Kaajal for an employment issue previously and she was great. I had a very complex case where I had been badly let down by a previous solicitor and had no idea what to do about it. Adrian very kindly responded quickly, obtained all legal documents and gave his honest opinion on the merits of my case. He did so without charge and this can’t have been an easy job due to the sheer volume. He spoke in a language very easy to understand rather than all the legal jargon…. All I can say is that I wish I had used Curwens at the start of my claim as I think I would be in a very different position now. Thanks so much Adrian!
