    I have been to Curwens for both my will and a Declaration of Trust document. On both occasions, I found the solicitors to be extremely knowledgeable and helpful. No question was too 'daft' and responses to phone calls and to emails, were prompt and always answered my queries. Not only was everything completed to a high standard; I was also able to work on a fixed fee basis which meant that, despite my asking thousands of questions and fretting over things, the costs didn't spiral and remained affordable. Everything sorted now and I am 100% delighted with the services from Curwens. Alexandra is a particular superstar!

Omar and Sabeena were clear, professional and genuinely supportive from the first conversation, and they explained everything so I always knew where I stood.

      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.
