GloverPriest Solicitors Limited

I do not like writing these kind of reviews but it feels like the ethical thing to warn other prospective customers. GloverPriest Solicitors Tamworth was our legal support while buying our house in London. It started off with them not getting either my or my husband's e-mail address right when sending us the welcome pack. After that, every step of the way we had some issues. Names were misspelled, timeline estimates were completely off, forms were not submitted, we were told documents were in one day and the next day that half was missing, insurance was not included in the final bill while we asked for it and it was very difficult to get in touch with our solicitor. I am not exaggerating; it was an extremely frustrating experience, The strongest example was when our solicitor called us when we had already moved into the new home, sharing that he had gotten the stamp duty wrong and we needed to pay another huge sum (talking thousands). The bank was blamed for getting the category wrong, whilst the bank had shared with us that determining stamp duty is the solicitor's responsibility and we had shared all the relevant information. Even after that (what should have been for them an) embarrassing experience, we came to find out we had not been registered for ground rent. Unfortunately, we would recommend going anywhere else, at least when buying property.

Got an open case with them at the moment but the service has been dreadful. Trying to get an update out of them is like trying to get blood out of a Stone. No urgency whatsoever, please avoid and use a different solicitor.

Rachel and her team are professional but also very friendly and approachable. I received instant updates on the sale of my property and the purchase of my new home. While other parties solictors were slow, Argyles constantly chased them up. I will continue to use Argyles for any future legal needs i may have. Thank you.

Just used Glover Priest Solicitors Tamworth to handle the sale of my property and also my purchase of my new home. The service was outstanding and made what is one of the most stressful things ( moving home ) a smooth process we had a couple of hiccups along the way but these were dealt with in a very professional and quick manner to move the chain along. We had the pleasure of dealing with Rachel Freeman and Jane Hilton who were both lovely , they dealt with the whole process and kept us up to date with progress until the very end, Nothing was too much trouble and they always come back to you very quickly with any questions we had. I would recommend these lovely ladies, this is the second time we have used this company and they are great.

The solicitor and reception staff were very easy to talk to and very helpful. we consulted them on our wills. They did not try to push anything onto us, they listened to what we wanted and carried out our instructions to our satisfaction. would recommend this company.
