Report
I started with Mr Fitzgraham, setting out my requirements, on 16th May, 2021. We wished to sell a share of a freehold to someone else. A simple matter, no searches, valuations, etc., required. Almost 3 months later, it was still not finished. Always a week or two between each attempt at communication. I always had to leave a message on his answer machine, it was rarely responded to promptly. Late responses to my emails. Appointments were mostly for a long time ahead. There were always excuses, mostly to do with covid. When I threatened to make a formal complaint about how long it was taking, instead

I completely disagree with you Akiva Solemani and my experience with Fitzgraham's solicitors has been nothing but excellent! I have engaged them with buying a property as well as to manage my Will and I have only had a positive experience . Mr Graham was extremely knowledgable (which is expected with such vast experience) and gave fantastic advice and I was able to move into my home very easily and quickly. I cannot thank him and everyone working in this company enough for all the great support!

I must make it clear this was not my solicitor, but they were the solicitor for person I was buying a property from, they were unbelievably poor at responding to my solicitors E mails, phone calls, made my purchase a lot more stressfull than it needed to be, a nightmare, and took repeated calls and emails and even a visits to sort out final problems, despite them saying they would sort them out on many occasions , I would never get involved in any transactions if this solicitor was involved, be beware
No I have not reviewed the wrong solicitor, I won't forget, how inefficient Fitzgrahams was,

Very very slow. Three hours work quoted and charged for writing a simple will. Took over a month to complete the work. Only finished after several calls to chase them up, only got things moving when I said we would be forced to go elsewhere. I didnt expect to be berated on our last visit when the work was eventually completed and handed over,obviously not used to be chased up. I would not recommend them.
