The house went through after a long process, but Valerie Holmes was not the problem. They did all that they could to speed the process up.

Laura was very honest and kept me posted with updates.
I found the system they use, Mycase very basic.
We exchanged and completed in just over 2 months from start to finish, which was good timing.

Selling a house is a big event. I wasn't sure using an on line solicitor was a good idea. Right from the start I wasn't allocated a dedicated person in charge of my case. At every step of the way I had to push for information. The communication
was poor. Often long waits for the phone to be answered and being asked to leave messages no one responded to. Then, when nothing happened for two weeks being told my buyer's solicitors were being chased for information I knew they had already submitted. The actual exchange only occurred at the 11th hour after pressure was put on the company because for some inexplicable reason, not given, they couldn't sign off the papers for 3 days when they had everything they needed. I certainly didn't feel they were working for me, in my interests, in a timely fashion.

I have received excellent service from Valerie Holmes Law - from making my initial enquiries to performing and completing the work. Clear email instructions and prompt replies to any emails I sent. And all done for a very decent fee indeed. A winner in all respects! I would not hesitate to use this firm again.

Some early problems with communication, possibly due to their relocation, but once rectified they were excellent. Could not have asked for more. Quick, effective and pleasant to work with.

Thank you for your work on our house sale and purchase journey at a time which was extra pressurised for everyone concerned due to imminent Stamp Duty increases and personal Circumstances which meant we had to get moved in a timely manner . Stephanie was understanding of our situation and kept the pressure up for us .

A difficult experience compared to 12 others I have had when buying and selling properties over the last 25 years. Communication was poor and not customer/client friendly. The conveyancing took 5 months costing us thousands of pounds extra in interest and service charges on an empty property. I was passed from pillar to post dealing with and hearing from different people. When I raised a serious complaint I was chastised and perhaps the process was prolonged as a result. I would simply NEVER use Valerie Holmes again for anything nor recommend them to anyone.
A representative from Valerie Holmes Law responded to this review on 02 April, 2025:
I am sorry that you feel disappointed with the outcome Rima. I will pass the feedback onto the team.

We had an amazing experience with Valerie Holmes. Our conveyancer Stephanie Boocock was incredible.
We had an extremely tight deadline that seemed impossible, in a market where your average house move seems to be >6 months. And yet Stephanie performed the miraculous and we moved in to our house in record time, beating the stamp duty deadline. She was extremely helpful and informative throughout the process, keeping us up to date with all news and providing us with all the tools we needed to get the move done swiftly. She fought for us, got all other parties moving quickly and was a pleasure to work with.
We can only recommend! Thank you very much, Stephanie.

I'm a property developer and have always used Valerie homes every time I buy and sell and also recommend them to my clients, friends and family and I have never received any negative feedback from anyone. I would definitely recommend. They are brilliant, professional and make sure all details are covered and make sure the other parties solicitors send them all details which is vital!

Delighted to have had VHPL recommended to me, and I would happily recommend the firm to others – indeed I have already done so. My solicitor was very responsive, spent a lot of time talking me through various points of law relating to my purchase, and was clear on what her legal guidance was and the matters relevant to the decisions I needed to take. VHPL guided me through the buying process from start to finish, and document signing and other relevant administration was all swift and straightforward. Thanks again for a great service.
