Rude and unable to follow instructions.

I specifically stated that NO documents were to be sent to my address to the solicitor AND the secretary (because following my partners death I had to be away) and family were checking my home and my mail for me and I had 100% guarantee that all documents would be by EMAIL ONLY. This was also written on my documents filled out by the solicitor. Not only DID they send the draft copy of my Will to my address but the letter was opened, causing me extreme stress (on top of my grieving) within my family. Also the solicitor found it necessary to use a SAD emoji face next to my name on the WILL Instruction Form. When I asked for an explanation, none was given, utterly insulting and unprofessional.
In my view, this solicitor (and he is showing the standard of this company with his actions) cannot follow customers requests and instructions and has NO principles or consideration to undertake this sort of job.

Alletsons have been amazing throughout my proceedings. They offered me trusted advice and always completed work on time. Daisy is excellent at what she does, she has compassion, knowledge and is very approachable. I will always recommend Alletsons, can’t thank them enough.

I would like to thank Goran and everyone of the staff at Alletsons. I was very pleased with the service you provided, even though it was dealing with a sad and sensitive matter. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Alletsons to anyone in the future. Thanks again.

Avoid if processing a Will

Employing a solicitor to process a will should relieve stress and be efficient. Sadly my experience has been the opposite. My dissatisfaction has many elements, the headlines including:
A frequent lack of communication unless prompted by myself.
Final charges amounting to nearly £10 000 more than Alletsons’ original estimate, apparently because the estate was more complex than anticipated, but felt unjustified and more due to solicitor inefficiencies. Costs were being charged with no transparency for a long period.
Excessive time period of 3 years, original estimate was 8-12 months. It took over a year for the accountant Alletsons appointed, without consultation, to settle a relatively small amount of tax due on interest earned whilst some of the monetised estate awaited distribution.
Mistakenly cc’ing an email with unprofessional & rude comments about client.
Poor choice of wording in a sensitive communication, which could have negatively escalated a situation.

No hesitation in using again

Having used Alletsons before, I knew their staff were hard-working and very thorough but Clare and Kelly really came up trumps in the week leading up to the completion date on my purchase and my sale. My purchasers suddenly decided they were ready to proceed and provided Clare and Kelly with only two or three days' notice. The pair pulled out all the stops and Kelly even broke her holiday to ensure everything went smoothly on the Friday completion date.

I wouldn’t even give them 1 star. The experience that we received was appalling with how they handled my mother’s probate. They nearly lost our house sale because they do everything on a Friday, which I had to get involved and sort what they couldn’t do. They would take weeks/months to reply to emails. And when it came to final settlements they kept getting the liabilities wrong and it took months each time to rewrite it and still kept getting it wrong. To the point I told them that I would sort out the liability and share out the money equally.
With all of this it cost us £18,000.
They have no empathy for anyone and are only there for the money.
Please do not use these solicitors to do your loved ones probate and I strongly recommend you to do it yourself on the GOV website. Saving you time and money. It took 3 years and 3 months for it to be finalise.

I recently sought the services of this firm for a statutory declaration, and I am pleased to share my positive experience. The solicitor who handled my matter was highly professional and thorough. They provided clear and comprehensive explanations throughout the process, ensuring that I fully understood each step. Their attention to detail and commitment to ensuring the declaration was completed accurately were greatly appreciated. Furthermore, the reception staff were exceptionally helpful.

The ladies at the front desk were courteous, welcoming, and efficient, assisting with the necessary paperwork and answering any queries I had with professionalism. Their friendly and attentive approach contributed significantly to a smooth and seamless experience. Thank you.

We were lucky to have Lucy and her team support us through the sale & purchase of our property. The portal was a bit confusing, but any questions we had were answered quickly and we were able to progress. We needed to provide everything in the onboarding which is time consuming but great to get the majority of this done at the beginning. Previously, we had to provide random documents throughout and it was a frustrating process. Lucy was quick at dealing with issues, communicated well & we managed to complete on our preferred date that we had asked for at the beginning. It took around 3 months to complete with a chain of 3 which was great & all down to Lucy & the team. I did check in weekly, using a simple button on the portal which allowed me to keep track of the move. Thank you Lucy & team for making the process as smooth as possible. We would definitely recommend them.

I have used Alletsons on three occasions now for conveyancing and selling a property and I have always been so pleased with their help. Kelly and Clare go above and beyond to get everything sorted whilst being reassuring and making you feel like they have your best interests at heart. They showed me such a great deal of empathy and support throughout and I can’t thank them enough
