    Purchase of flat

    Bradley was an engaged, pragmatic, and highly experienced lead throughout the flat purchase process, and his professionalism was greatly appreciated. He provided clear direction and instilled confidence at key stages of the transaction. However, there were gaps in the support provided by the wider team. At times, communication lacked sufficient clarity or was wrong, and more proactive guidance and sharing of critical information would have been beneficial. Greater attention to detail and coordination across the team would help avoid some of the issues encountered. In particular, the final completion stage presented unforeseen challenges, resulting in an unexpected delay of 4–5 hours. This had a knock-on impact, resulting in the cancellation of the snagging survey and furniture delivery, causing understandable frustration (and unnecessary costs) for all parties involved. Overall, while the leadership and expertise at the senior level were strong, there is an opportunity for the supporting team to provide more consistent, detail-oriented, and proactive support to enhance the overall client experience.

Bradley was helpful in answering my questions and helped ensure the transactions were completed on time.

Omar and Sabeena were clear, professional and genuinely supportive from the first conversation, and they explained everything so I always knew where I stood. They were quick to respond, thorough in their advice, and made a stressful situation far easier to manage. I’m very grateful for their help and would happily use Curwens again or recommend them

      Poor communication and costly delays – Curwens (Enfield) My property sale fell through post-valuation at week 10 of conveyancing, largely due to an 8-week delay on their end in answering just two basic enquiries from the buyer's solicitor.—enquiries I was able to find answers for by myself in 3 weeks post-collapse. — This unnecessary lag resulted in significant wasted legal fees and holding expenses on my part. Communication was consistently poor throughout. Based on this experience, I strongly recommend sellers opt for a conveyancing team that operates on a true "No Sale, No Fee" basis to ensure their incentives align with actually progressing the sale. Very disappointing experience with Curwens Enfield. EDIT* Curwens' response below claims senior management is "actively reviewing" my file. In reality, at the time of posting my review, their internal complaints procedure was already fully completed and closed after they dismissed my concerns. No further internal investigation was offered until this public review appeared.

      A representative from Curwens LLP responded to this review

      Please accept our sincere apologies for the stress caused by your aborted sale. Our senior management team is actively reviewing your file timeline internally. Our client care letter outlines a direct, formal route to raise any service concerns with us. Please contact us directly so we can review the matters you raise.
