Appalling experience with Jonathan Green, he never completed work he was paid to do. Took two months of chasing to even get a response. Never pay this firm by Bacs transfer.

I notice the following reviews date from three years ago, and this firm is unrecognisable from my experience of it. The service was appallingly unprofessional: after I had paid his fee Jonathan Green did not respond to emails or phone messages. After six weeks he emailed with incorrect advice as he had clearly misremembered details from our meeting. He also never provided a letter in hard copy, which he had promised. Since then he has ignored my request to reduce or refund his fee. Likewise the senior partner, Sean White, has remained silent. Disgraceful service, and a waste of money.

Clearly defined rates (which are good value in my view). Advice was prompt, as was their help in getting completion done on a conveyance in short order. Good location as well in central Wimbledon, well connected.

Sean White continually updated me during my sale and purchase. He was professional and reassuring while my buyer was stressing me out. The whole process went smoothly and despite myself living some distance away, I was able to contact him by phone and email and visa versa. I would definitely recommend Sean and use his services in the future.
