Polite Friendly and Patient

Adam Urwin was friendly, professional and informative from the start. As this was our first time selling a property we were not very clued up. It was also not a normal situation as well due to old fashioned legalities but Adam answered our questions, was patient with us and didn't make us feel silly when asking or needing things explained. When we first bought our property we used EDC and it was a good experience and that is why we went with them again this time, first tiem deal with Adam & Alisha and they were both great to deal with.

Excellent Service and Support Throughout the Whole Process.

We are so pleased we decided to use EDC Lord for the sale of our family home. Adam Urwin was very approachable and gave us confidence in the whole process. Making it far less stressful than we had anticipated. He kept us fully informed and quickly responded to any questions we had.

Adam's support throughout was greatly appreciated and we are so grateful for all his hard work in ensuring we were ready for a quick completion.

We have already recommended Adam Urwin to someone in the process of buying a new home and would highly recommend him to anyone else considering a house sale or purchase.

Overpriced and lacking experience

Terrible. Slow and made you feel like you should be grateful that you’re their client. Adam Urwin clearly lacked experience in what was a relatively straightforward matter, with his boss Sara Sinker displaying awful client management. What’s more, they decided to overcharge for hours spent on the project despite it being them that created the delays! Avoid like the plague.

Exceptional Support and Service from Start to Finish

My husband and I cannot thank Adam Urwin enough for all his help and support throughout both the sale of our old home and the purchase of our new one. As our solicitor, Adam made the entire process feel smooth, well organised and far less stressful than we expected.

From the beginning, Adam was kind, compassionate and always professional. He communicated with us clearly at every stage, explained everything in a way that made sense and never made us feel like any question was too small or silly. His reassurance and attentiveness meant the world to us.

He went above and beyond. Even before the official searches began, Adam proactively looked into anything that might come up to make sure everything would move along as quickly as possible. That level of preparation made such a difference.

Even when we didn’t expect a reply straight away, Adam would often get back to us within hours. He was always happy to take a phone call and was incredibly responsive, despite how busy we know he must be.

We’ve never worked with any other solicitor and honestly, we wouldn’t want to. Adam has set the bar incredibly high. We would recommend him to absolutely anyone looking to sell or buy a home, whether it’s their forever home or one of many.

A huge heartfelt thank you, Adam, for your kindness, patience and outstanding support.

Exceptional Solicitor Punam with Heart and Dedication

I was fortunate to have Punam as my solicitor during the purchase of my new home.

She was incredibly efficient, highly organised, and methodical. She provided timely updates and guided me through every difficulty in the transaction process. Even under tight deadlines, Punam remained calm and composed, resolving each issue with great care and helping to ease my concerns.

When I visited the law firm in person to deliver documents, I had the chance to meet Punam face-to-face—without a prior appointment—to thank her personally. During our conversation, her warm attitude and professional spirit truly moved and impressed me.

I must especially commend her efforts during the critical days leading up to the exchange of contracts and completion. She went above and beyond, exploring every possible way to ensure the transaction was completed on time. Even on weekends, outside of normal working hours, she remained committed to communicating with me, offering clear guidance and practical advice that enabled me to take swift action. I am deeply grateful for her dedication.

Even on the day of completion, she not only extended her heartfelt congratulations but also reminded me of the next steps I should take, offering thoughtful wishes that left me feeling warmly supported.

Thank you to Punam for providing such high-quality service, and thanks also to her team for their continued support throughout the process.

Highly recommend Stephen Bulega, whose professionalism, knowledge, negotiations, patience, explanations and reassurances regarding my property sale, eased any stress and made the whole process that much easier, despite many challenging moments! Stephen has since supported me in another unrelated matter, at short notice and without any hesitation ~ E D C Lord & Co are lucky to have him as an ambassador. I have already recommended him to friends and engaged the Company again for another legal issue, solely due to my experiences of Stephen's representation.
