Acted on my behalf for the sale of my property, no issues whatsoever and breezed through the sales process with very little input required from me

Special thanks to Charlotte

As a home buyer I had only positive experience. Still can't believe we bought a house in 2 months and with the chain. Special thanks to Charlotte.

House sale

We started using core legal for a house sale amongst family members. It wasn’t the most straightforward of sales but once core legal (Mehak) started to lead the process it was plain sailing. I would definitely recommend them and her to anyone thinking about which solicitors to use. Outstanding

Professional and Trusted

We have used Core Legal in the past to buy our property, so from that positive experience we entrusted them again when it came to selling. They are professional, trusted and made the process smooth and quick. Certainly would recommend in relation to buying and selling your property.

A company to be avoided

I really don't believe in any of the 5 stars comments in here... We dealt with at least 5 employees from this ridiculous company and none of them deserves even one star! We have bought and sold a few properties in the past years but what Core Legal has put us through is indescribable! In a very short version, our house wasn't registered with the Land Registry at all, and part of the property wasn't included in the purchase contract at all and we found it only when we were trying to sell it! Almost 4 years post completion and we still have to deal with them. Horribly rude and unprofessional people. Every single step of the process has been very difficult and stressful. What my partner and I went through is really difficult to describe. We had to exchange around 200 emails (post completion!) and I'm not able to even count the phone calls. We are currently taking legal steps towards them, as they didn't even bother to reply to our official complaint. We not only incurred financial losses but and were disrespected and... intimidated! When we mentioned that we will be seeking compensation through legal ways, we were told that they will do the same to us! The "solicitor" we dealt the most with ended up being reported for misconduct and unprofessional behaviour. Can't stress it enough that you should avoid them at all cost!

Just want to say a huge thanks to Matt Dickenson who was our solicitor during our move to our new property. Matt updated us throughout and he made the process stress free. He was responsive to all queries we had and we will definitely be using him in the future. 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!
