    Commercial Property

    Awful experience

    Has poor people skills, asked for help with my contract and was very reluctant to assist and advised that I go find help elsewhere via family members etc. this mortgage was a terribly and stressful experience and Emma did was mostly part of the problem, her attitude was awful, considering how much money solicitors get I would have expected better. and not very helpful with the contract signing; she expected me to produce a printer from know where and print out piles of paperwork for me to sign. I’ve asked others who have had solicitors from other companies and they got their contracts etc hard copied through the post and marked so to know where to sign. I had a separate colleague who managed to arrange to get the contracts etc sent to me in the end as I had printed off the documents incorrectly. Makes mistakes in how much I should pay too!! She’s useless! Stressful experience all in all. Will not advise the use of Atwells and will never use them again!!

    We found Samuel to be personable, understanding and highly proficient in his field, spotting clause errors my employers' HR and legal teams had not noticed. It's good to have someone like him in your corner at a time of personal crisis. Thank you.

    Thank you so much for your kind words, Jason. We're really pleased we could help and that you felt supported during a difficult time.

    Polite but not efficient

    We felt we were a very low priority once we had paid. We gave two dates for critical meetings when we needed letters for, and these went by. Our recent letter has still not been sent, and no communication or explanation has been given. Professional maners aer fine, but actions are incredibly slow.

    Dear Client, Thank you for taking the time to provide a review. I am sorry to hear that you felt the service provided could have been better. Many of our clients rate our service as excellent. I have this evening emailed you in relation to arranging a call to discuss your experience further. Please do come back to me when you are ready. Best, Lloyd Clarke (Partner)

    Brilliant

    Lloyd is great, attentive and pays attention to details. Explained what my contract meant and spoke to me on the phone explaining everything that I was signing in exchange for the offer. I recommend him straight away to another person in the same situation. Will definitely return if needed. The process was also fast and enabled me to hand the contract back way before the deadline

    from Attwells Solicitors LLP

    Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback — we're really pleased to hear you had a positive experience. It was a pleasure to help you review and explain the contract, and we're glad the process was fast and clear enough for you to return the contract. Your recommendation means a lot, and we're always here if you need assistance again in the future.

      Quick, reassuring, and completely stress-free

      I can't recommend Samuel Welham highly enough. I came to him with a time-sensitive settlement agreement and a very tight deadline, and he understood the seriousness and urgency of my situation straight away. He sorted everything within a day, replied to my emails almost immediately, and explained everything clearly throughout. On top of being so responsive and efficient, he was genuinely kind and reassuring, which made a stressful situation far easier to handle. Thank you, Sam!

      from Attwells Solicitors LLP

      Thank you for your feedback, Zhi. We’re happy to hear that Samuel provided such prompt, clear, and reassuring support, especially within a tight deadline. We appreciate your kind comments and recommendation.

      Quick and efficient service.

      The solicitor acted quickly following my instruction. I paid the fees to: prepare and submit a claim to obtain a possession order for my property, verification me and for the court fee. The tenants in my property were due to move out on the 31 May but they didn't. Much to my surprise they moved out on 5 June. Proceeding were halted and I promptly received a refund of the court fee.

      from Attwells Solicitors LLP

      Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear the matter was handled promptly following your instructions and that the process was dealt with efficiently. It’s also good to know that once the tenants vacated, proceedings were stopped without delay and the court fee refund was issued promptly.
