Caesar & Howie

We used Caesar and Howie (in Bathgate) for the purchase of our first house. To be brutally honest if I could turn back time I would never have allowed our financial advisor to pass our details to them; however, in our defence, we did not know any better. Serious lack of communication, lack of support or guidance and when I tried to complain because we weren't receiving any support (multiple times) nobody listened or offered the support we needed. The whole experience was an absolute nightmare from start to finish 😱😩

You pay S. Patrick to send emails for you. She can’t do anything else besides that. And even the emails she isn’t good at. Doesn’t chase or do anything to move the case forwards

I’m going through a divorce. I’m jointly owned on property with ex. I’ve had no say at all in the sale. Caesar and howie appointed. Twice I cancelled plans for viewings. No one showed up. Not even a phone call. And cause it’s there problem as to why I’ve not had many viewers. They blame me. Like I say. Stay CLEAR!!

Ms Patrick was instructed to represent both my sister and I in some executory work. Initially, her rhetoric was encouraging with “ what would you like me to fight for you”! However ,It became apparent very quickly that Ms Patrick couldn’t fight sleep never mind anything else. A subsequent freedom of information/ subject access request, did however highlight that she was more than happy to waffle on about another case similar but wholly irrelevant to ours (at our expense) whilst enjoying a cosy ‘chit chat ‘ with the opposing sides solicitor and bad mouthing our choice of estate agent with regards to selling our late parents home...”Yes, it’s very frustrating when that sort of “estate agent” (Mov 8) gets instructed when you and I know that we could do as good a job, if not better, and for a lot less money”... aye right you are Sarah! We never actually used ‘Mov 8 ‘, but since discovering that Ms Patrick is a current Conservative and Unionist Councillor, in my professional opinion as a Politics/Economics graduate, I wouldn’t lower myself to get a scumbag Tory go to the shop for me far less sell a property! Therefore, It’s not IF you’ll have issues dealing with Ms Patrick, but I’m afraid rather WHEN further compounded when a work colleague had a very similar experience. Do yourself a favour, avoid at all costs.

8 months of expense with nothing done. I had to move on to another lawyer. They made me pay big time for this.
