I recently used PM Property Lawyers (PMPL) for the conveyancing of a new home purchase. While the process eventually reached a successful conclusion, my experience was mixed, and I feel it's important to provide a fair account.
The positives:
--------------------
- The transaction was completed successfully, which I appreciate.
- PMPL’s app is user-friendly for initial setup, and the integration with Armalytix for verification of funds was seamless.
- Kiana's personality was great. She should have been the main solicitor instead of Amy! Since Amy was almost non-existent until the last days of the process.
The challenges:
--------------------
Unfortunately, the journey to completion was far from smooth. Communication was the most significant issue. I often had to chase for updates, and there was a lack of proactive engagement. My assigned solicitor was largely unresponsive during key stages, and I often felt left in the dark regarding progress on my file. This caused unnecessary stress, particularly as I was managing tight timelines and family considerations.
Additionally, the PMPL app, while useful, did not consistently reflect real-time updates on the case, which added to my frustration. Advertised timelines were not met, and the clarity around services like “fast track” was lacking.
Overall impression:
-----------------------
While I’m grateful for the eventual completion of my purchase, the journey with PMPL left much to be desired. Improved communication and adherence to timelines would significantly enhance their service. I hope this feedback helps PMPL refine their approach for future clients.
