Value for money
Limited data.
Excellent does not necessarily mean ‘cheap’. It means that clients thought that the level of service received was Excellent for what they paid.

A massive thank you to Lucy for everything! Couldn't have survived this without your calm reassuring emails - (well most of them were calm…..). Thank you again for all the hard work and perseverance.

House Sale
This review is for a different branch.
This was a probate sale and I didn't feel that there was any understanding or compassion from Core Legal at a very difficult time. Communication was very poor and there was no consistency in staff dealing with the sale. On several occasions the only way I could get any response was by complaining to my Estate Agent who contacted them directly. That said however, once Sally Crone became involved it was a completely different experience. Sally was professional, kind and helpful; forgiving my frustration she kept me in the loop and well informed to the end and worked tirelessly to complete on the final day despite a last minute hiccup between Core Legal and the Probate solicitor. It was such a relief to have her on side at such a traumatic time. Thank you Sally!

This review is for a different branch.
What should have been a straight forward move has been the most stressful times of my life because of this company.
As everyone else states in their reviews when there is a problem they stop answering calls or emails.
DO NOT USE !

Second time working with and same 5* service
This review is for a different branch.
We have worked with Suresh and Katherine previously so when we needed conveyancing services again we didn't even think twice to get in touch. Nothing is too much trouble from anyone on the team. We worked predominantly with Katherine this time and she is honestly an asset to the company, so friendly and helpful, always willing to explain anything you need, or just build your confidence back up when you are struggling with other parties in the chain. Suresh will always get things straight back on track and work with other companies/parties to ensure nothing is missed and the chain completes as quickly and suited as possible.

Core Legal Review
This review is for a different branch.
Everything was completed with minimal fuss and on time. The conveyancing charges were similar to other solicitors, but communication could have been better towards the final exchange day. I appreciate that a Friday is a busy day, but it was an added stress that could have been avoided. On the whole though, they did all that was required. Thank you.

I am very happy with the conveyancing service provided by Core Legal York Office - they did an excellent job in conveyancing my purchase of a property.
It took less than 7 weeks to complete on the 31 March 2025 just in time right before the increase in Stamp Duty taxes, saving me in higher SDLT.
I am very pleased with how the Core Legal team worked together Vivi, Ellie, Matthew to provide updates and running the process smoothly.
I am glad I was referred to them, will definitely use their services again and recommend their services.

It took Core legal 6 weeks to complete my purchase. I was referred by my broker who stated they completed all his clients really quickly, I checked the reviews and was a little nervous but trusted his judgement. First week, I missed the digital profile log in details, once I logged in and completed all the documents, it took Vivi exactly 5 weeks to finish everything. I collected my keys today. They never missed a call or email from me, the digital profile was telling me exactly at what stage we were at and what to expect next. Thank you for looking after my family and myself 🫶 Vivi you were amazing!

We had such a good experience with Core Legal and can’t thank Suresh for making this journey so smooth for us. He always updated us and helped us with any concerns. We highly recommend using Core Legal. Thank you again Suresh.

I would strongly recommend in not using them, I had to deal with the documents and majority of the sale, they were delaying it and had I not chased I would not have brought the property in time. They taken almost three years to provide the title reg which I had to chase on. Not good at all and I’ve asked my mortgage advisor to not provide them to other customers.
