Report
Although they got me over the line and the girls are nice, their final invoice was around 500 more than what I was given at quote stage. Given that price point was a huge factor as to why I went with them, I was very disappointed to see this. After many back and forth (via email, no calls were 'permitted' to discuss this issue) I conceded and just paid. However, a warning to those thinking of using Lancashire Law - Make sure you are clear on costs throughout!

My gran is selling and was forced to use these by her estate agent. They said if she does not use them then the house wont sell. She is venerable and this company inflated their costs and paid the estate agent 500 at her expense. I really am furious and wish we found out before it was all finished. I complained to the young trainee solicitor as know one else seems to work there but she was very rude and arrogant, told me to take it up with the agent as they inflated her costs. Customers beware!
RESPONSE. Your client care letter says you pay Barton a referral fee to send customers and then

Never once in the whole 7 month through my process of the right to buy scheme did I speak with my solicitor that I appointed it was always the trainee. Always chasing them after sending them what they needed and not always getting a response until I phoned them. I found the trainee quite arrogant at times and just giving me one worded answers. And not really explaining nor sounding interested when I would be asking questions. Also felt like she was always trying to get me off the phone when I still had questions. Even after completion weeks later I get a phone call saying they've made an error
