Warning never use this firm - not worth a star rating

DO NOT USE THIS FIRM! I had to report them to the Legal Ombudsman who agreed Franklin’s offer a poor service. It took Franklin’s (Denise Watson)seven months to complete on two properties even though there was no chain. They lost documents and took over two years to send through NHBC documentation. They had an IT breach and we received scam emails for a few months showing our personal information from the hacker. This meant we had to change our internet provider to prevent further scam emails. They do not record their telephone conversations, so whatever you instruct them verbally is not noted and therefore you cannot hold them to account over promised verbal instructions you receive or give them! BEWARE!

Adam and his team provided an excellent professional service carrying out the probate for my late mother's estate and took a great deal of pressure from me. Would highly recommend.

There was always someone at the end of the phone and explanations and advice we're always friendly and helpful.

My only criticism would be the time it takes to get from agreement of purchase to completion, but apparently everyone else I have spoken to thinks this was quite quick! Otherwise great and would definitely use Franklin's again.
