Report
My advise for anyone thinking of using these solicitors for conveyancing please dont ,She was great at finding problems but terrible at finding solutions. Thank goodness my self the seller and the buyer was personal friends else this sale wouldnt of taken place at all just horrendous for both parties took the sparkle off the whole process. Never again if I sell any other propertys if the buyer has this solicitor I will not proceed ,took forever and charged my buyer more than my solicitor who was on the ball and found solutions to all her questions.

Report
(Probate dealings) Shocking just shocking. Too slow service, bad receptionist knowledge or indeed insight. I could not recommend this firm in any sense. Wanted less than 1 star in reality. In my opinion they are intentionally slow mostly through general effort rather than potential margins. I also believe staff lied about progress of particulars when requested.
