Report
Shocking! My buyers have waited 15 weeks for their mortgage offer because they failed to tell them they were NOT on their mortgage panel after taking money and trapping them! Was promised everything else was done to then find out on week 16 searches haven't even been arranged! Very incompetent and caused a massive hold up and mess for everyone involved

Report
They weren't my solicitors but felt I should leave a review as they were the solicitors of the buyer of my house. They forgot to send the searches/misplaced them for 4 weeks all the while informing the estate agent and my solicitors that the searches hadn't returned yet. I understand mistakes can be made especially when they were probably short staffed and working from home due to the pandemic but I dislike the fact that they didn't even acknowledge that they did, we only found out to the the buy informing us.
Around the time the buyer told us that the searches she'd paid for hadn't been sent off straight away they became unresponsive to the Estate agents emails (which was unlike them) and then a few days later gave a date of expected return a little over a week away. As said, I know mistakes are made I just found it ignorant and unprofessional that they didn't admit and apologise that their mistake put the sale back by a month and cost me money and further stress.
