Paid 120 for 1 hour consultation. I was booked to see Tracy. Unfortunately she was the only solicitor on duty at the office that day and was late for my appointment by 15 mins so my appointment overun. I do believe in a face-to-face consultation where possible ( all covid conditions were adhered to) and I was very glad I did, as she was professional, informative and likeable. And should I need her services I wouldn't hesitate to employ her.

Critical: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value I would never use this company again, and I would strongly advise others not to do so either. The whole process is SO SLOW! They don't return calls, messages, texts or emails, and you have to constantly and persistently badger them to get anything done. Dreadful from start to finish, never again.

Ellis and Emma did an incredible job on a tricky London property transaction during a difficult time, considering the pandemic this year. They were both very professional, patient, and responsive and I am eternally grateful for them seeing the sale/purchase over the line after many stumbling blocks. I trust their advice and care implicitly and highly recommend their work.

Not bad considering the agro we had to go through with the seller. Although contact wise not the best as we had to keep chasing up on everything with them and instructions on next steps were often last minute or not very clear. But staff were always nice and did try their best so considering the seller made things difficult from day one I'd say they did a pretty good job.

Writing for a friend - It's like you're inconveniencing their day by having the nerve to call in and make an enquiry. It isn't difficult to be nice and polite on the phone, I occasionally get calls at work that I don't really want to deal with, but I'm still nice to people. Sorry to have bothered you with my custom, perhaps a few training courses in customer service wouldn't go amiss!
