Inefficient

Only leaving this review as they have threatened me that this is my third and final chance to do so! The reason I haven’t done so before is because my instruction is still not complete. It has been over a year since my initial instruction for a simple transfer of equity, and I am still waiting for confirmation from the land registry. This is not because the land registry is slow it is because VHL have taken so long to process my instruction. There is a total lack of communication and it would seem the only time they do any work on your case is when you chase them for an update.
The moment I paid my final bill, they were sending me emails and texts asking if I would recommend others to use VHL, the simple answer is NO.

Competent, Methodical, and Professional

Thank you so much to you, Ms. Stephanie Boocock of Valerie Holmes Law for your hard work and professionalism in the purchase of my property. This wasn't a straight forward purchase but it was handled brilliantly by Ms. Boocock and Valerie Holmes Law. Nothing was too much trouble when I telephoned or emailed. All the employees that took my phone calls and responded to my emails did so in a very efficient and timely manner.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Valerie Holmes Law, in fact I highly recommend them. I found Stephanie to be friendly, efficient, diligent, and extremely thorough in her work. Thanks again so much - Leandro Romano

Incredible work, apart from one aspect...

Valerie Holmes Law were fantastic on so many levels. We went from offer to completion in 59 days, which is by far quicker than many people would experience. This was down to the hard work of everyone involved, even with our first assigned solicitor leaving the firm midway through the process. Every time something needed doing the firm acted clearly and helpfully.

Our only downside was the lack of responses at times. For instance, we completed two weeks ago today and besides being called to say we could pick up our keys, we've not had anything to confirm the process was complete. There were a few occasions where we were left waiting several days for responses. Whilst I appreciate the firm is busy, and their busyness is what helped us complete quickly, not having a response can often be very difficult to deal with as a first time buyer.

So a minor thing really, but on the whole, the firm was excellent and I'll definitely recommend.

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.
