DO NOT USE! Unresponsive, rude and poor in their practice. I have never dealt with such an unprofessional company. 24 hours before moving into my first home I was told they had miscalculated my financial statement and if I didn't pay my property would fall through. My bill was over 1000 the original quote and I feel robbed. Please look elsewhere! Do not let them ruin your first moving experience like they ruined mine.

Ben saw my brother and I over 2 years ago. He remained professional and honest and informative throughout our discussions regards power of attorney.

Report
Solicitor was abrupt. Seemed mainly interested in establishing the value of my house even though it was not relevant to my case. Poor communication, not explaining in in layman's terms. Was told not to bring children despite her being told i was a single parent with no support.

Report
They never read emails properly, and on one instance, after being chased 2 weeks later for answer, they said there was no quiries attached to the email: it was further down on the bed of the email itself. TWO WEEKS instead of getting back asking about it! Just one of many ineptitudes. Took SEVEN MONTHS and updating of a mortgage offer to have a house purchase completed. Would have give NO stars if possible. AVOID
