    Stress free solicitors

    JCP were recommended to us and we werent disappointed. Throughout our communications they made everything simple and easy to understand. I felt I could ask Angharad or Edwina questions about our remortgage, and they would be answered promptly and proffessionally. Timescales were kept to and we were kept informed throughout the whole process. Pricing was fair amd transparent. I would recommend.

    Really impressed with JCP Solicitors. Fantastic company to work with. Rachel was handling my sale. She really looked after me, taking time to explain every stage and what was best for me. Incredibly pro-active and pushed through a chain sale in just over 2.5 mths. I will be recommending the JCP Team to everyone.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Just want to say a massive thank you to Ben Cresswell. This has been the best experience I’ve ever had when purchasing a property (ref: The Avenue). Ben was fast, efficient, and always responsive. He gave clear advice throughout and kept me informed every step of the way. Couldn’t recommend him highly enough!

    I recently used JCP Solicitors for a residential purchase that wasn't what you would call standard or straightforward. The service that was provided was superb and it was professionally delivered by both Helen and Mari. I was kept well informed throughout the process and when I had queries they were responded to swiftly. Being able to visit the Caerphilly office and have Helen walk me through the vast amount of documentation left me feeling assured and confident that I was in good hands and that nothing had been overlooked. I was additionally impressed with the level of due dilligence that was undertaken during the purchase too. I look forward to working with Helen and Mari in the future and would highly recommend them.

    Constant unnecessary delays in conveyancing, resulting in a cash sale of an empty property taking 5 months. They were not my solicitors as I was the seller but they repeatedly did not respond at all to emails or calls from my solicitor or the estate agent. I believe the buyer is lodging a complaint. Awful service.

    A representative from JCP Solicitors Limited responded to this review

    We are sorry you feel so strongly about our service. In your review you state that we that we did not act for you, therefore we have very limited information to enable us to investigate this matter further. If you would like to contact clientcare@jcpsolicitors.co.uk to provide further details, we would appreciate the opportunity to review the file. Unfortunately, as you are not our client, there is limited information that we will be able to provide to you on this occasion, however, it is important for us to listen to all feedback so that we can ensure our processes continue to deliver the high level of service our team is proud of.

      There are solicitors and there is JCP Solicitors...

      What a refreshing discovery. A firm who fulfils all my expectations of a firm of solicitors. When I sold my house and bought another I had visions of Dickensian solicitors and quill pens. On checking around I chose JCP and I cannot praise them highly enough. They were outstandingly efficient, responding immediately by email. No hanging around. I thoroughly appreciated their keeping me up to date and I sensed the energy, speed and enthusiasm of the young team I dealt with. I had a last minute glitch with my buyer but this team responded immediately with updated documents to enable exchange of contracts. Particular thanks to Mia, Angharad and Edwina. I have no connection with JCP other than as a grateful client for a job superbly done.

      We purchased our house via auction and chose JCP Solicitors to handle our conveyancing. Because it was an auction purchase, we were under an incredibly strict timeframe for completion. Victoria was our conveyancer, and she was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Even though the seller and their legal team made things quite difficult, Victoria handled everything beautifully. She was always so kind, helpful, and responsive, which completely put us at ease throughout what could have been a very stressful process. We couldn’t have been happier with our experience with Victoria and the rest of the team at JCP. We highly recommend them!

      Edwina and Angharad have carried out the conveyancing several times now, for both purchasing and selling property. It is a breath of fresh air to deal with them compared to experiences we've had in the past with other solicitors. They are both friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Communication is excellent as you can always reach them on the phone or via email.

      Average service so far Quite slow at responding, with some responses taking over a week and prompting to respond, and a lot of questions just slip through the cracks with no response. Typical of a lot of conveyancers recently it seems. Too high a case load I guess

      We are sorry to hear your experience with us so far has not met your expectations. We would very much welcome the opportunity to discuss this with you further to try and resolve any frustrations you have without delay. Please can you contact us on clientcare@jcpsolicitors.co.uk.
