Appalling service!

I do not know how this company is still in business. Totally unprofessional, failure to carry out due diligence, schoolboy errors, total lack of communication - no response to emails or voicemails. I could go on… and on… and on…
My advice is to steer well clear!

AVOID - Truly worst experience ever

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Do not even deserve the one star! Ashleigh Noon/Lauren and team are absolute disgrace.
Zero communication. Emails and queries would go around in absolute circles for months. Constant chasing but they impossible to reach. Not a phone call once. They had zero interest in solving our case, would constantly ignore us.
Estate agents were in absolute shock at their lack of professionalism and customer service. Nearly lost our chain on many occasions. We were not told when our solicitor left, they were happy to play the blame game but never acknowledge their faults, help or apologize. Absolutely appalling. I had to do half their work in contacting parties.

Should be closed down

Their lack of communication was utterly unprofessional and unbecoming of a solicitors establishment. If you're not a fan of being kept in the dark, no email responses, unfinished work, please do not use this firm for your conveyancing.

I only selected 1 star because I couldn’t select 0

This firm is despicable and should be avoided at all costs. They are flagrantly in breach of the SRA code of conduct and do not act in the best interests of their clients. Their unprofessionalism and ineptitude is beyond belief. They were instructed six months ago on a simple conveyance and the transaction still hasn’t been concluded properly. My case had been passed around to six different people and they now have made a serious omission. I have worked in the legal industry for eleven years and have never seen such a flagrant disregard for the standards set by the profession. The SRA need to intervene and put this firm out of practice.

Avoid like the plague!

It seems any decent reviews regarding Core Legal Ltd emanate from service provided from individual solicitors and not the company as a whole. If you are considering engaging them, then good luck as its a lottery. My personal experience is that this company is useless, the simplest of tasks take an inordinate amount of time, lost documents, files not updated, impossible to contact and certainly no feedback. They came recommended are part of a panel of lawyers through Purplebricks and their delays almost caused the chain to collapse. If you are already engaged with them, don't bother with the complaints process, Sally Hare does not even have the curtesy to acknowledge receipt let alone respond.
