AVOID!! These solicitors were used by our vendors. I can only echo the other reviews on here. Everyone from our solicitors, estate agents and vendors themselves constantly contacted curtis law, only to be completely ignored or given false information. Our completion took SIX MONTHS, and even on completion day, we hadn't even exchanged until 1PM and eventually completed close to 4PM. This obviously caused a massive amount of stress on the day, not even knowing if we would complete based on the past behaviour of this awful firm. If we ever decided to sell again and i saw either our buyers or vendors

I am not the type of person to usually leave a review but feel compelled to do so as a kindness to anyone who may be considering using this firm. Please look at all the other reviews that have been left as I can only echo these. The people who work here are incompetent and have no care or respect for their clients whatsoever. You will never get hold of anyone on the telephone and they will NEVER call you back. They will lose your paperwork, leave your file to languish for weeks/months and spin themselves in spirals with their own lies. They ignore complaints procedures and your money is not secure

ZERO STARS
For the love of god dont use these clowns, from start to finish they gave me nothing but stress, dont reply to emails, dont answer the phones, dont keep you updated, took NINE MONTHS to complete a house purchase. Do yourself a favour and put your hand in your pocket and pay more money for a proper firm, I know I certainly will be in the future! Totally unprofessional and utterly disgusting attitudes from the people I dealt with, awful service. How they are still operating beggars belief

incompetent and liars
Our buyer used them and it took over 6 months to complete from accepting the offer. Our solicitor and estate agent struggled to get updates from them. They review files every 3 weeks at very best. They lied to the their client! once stating that the lender wouldn't proceed when it was actually them not wanting to act (mortgage adviser confirmed this). They scare mongered our buyer with the search results and enquiries. if the first time buyer purchasing our property wasn't in direct contact with us she would have never got any updates or understood
