Top quality service

Fast responses and was on the ball when she saw a few issues creeping up. Sarah was easy to contact and great to speak to, explaining things in Lehman's terms we could understand.

Great support for my conveyancing
This review is for a different branch.
Bev was an absolute star. My conveyancing was challenging due to a number of changes that was outside of my control but Bev managed it all quickly and efficiently. Most importantly, it was a very human and sympathetic approach which was much appreciated during this stressful time.

Bev is exceptional! I’ve used her services for the last 10 years! I wouldn’t use anyone else for purchasing or selling properties. Highly recommend her!

Excellent Service
This review is for a different branch.
Meadows & Co, specifically Bethany Fowler, were brilliant to work with. In an industry renowned for a lack of agility in driving these transactions through, Bethany and Meadows & Co were agile, effective and conscientious throughout the period that they worked on the sale of our property!

We used Sarah Ryan as our conveyancer for our house purchase as first time buyers. Despite facing multiple challenges during searches and exchange due to slow responses from other parties, Sarah was nothing but extremely professional. Clearly very experienced with the industry, she was incredibly helpful, proactive, and kept us up-to-date throughout the process.

I was recommended to this solicitor by an estate agent. I went with this solicitor only because they were local to the purchase. I found them very slow and they don't provide you with an on-line portal that you can follow your purchase on, to follow the progress of it. When I mentioned this to my solicitor' dealing with my purchase I didn't get a response from him. When purchasing a house it is good to see the progression of your sale with an on-line portal, so you can see how fast things are moving and if there are any questions you need to raise, otherwise you don't have a foggiest of where your at with your purchase and your left in the dark waiting for for an email or a phone call that doesn't come through. Having things in writing is much better and professional than just talking with your client on the phone, and you also have a paper trial of your purchase. This solicitor really needs to bring this service in and to let their clients follow their progression of their purchase both together. I have returned to my original solicitor' who has always had an on-line portal you can follow and who are really efficient and fast.
Be aware also of hidden 'abortion fees' with this firm, as I pulled out of a 'purchase' and had money on account, but they still charged me £1,000 + VAT for pulling out - (50%)

AVOID this firm at all cost. I asked for help getting probate and have had 3 different solicitors on this simple case, severe delays, significant fees and no results. Partners of the firm don’t care when you complaint when you don’t get response from the person handling your case. I have dealt with a lot of legal firms in the past but have never experienced anything as unprofessional and terrible as this firm!
