Recently I moved house and used Liz Collins and her team for conveyancing. Liz had all my legal documents & searches completed in 6 weeks which was very efficient. We were in a chain which involved lawyers at the bottom of the chain not been very responsive. Liz continually chased and was responsive throughout, and from a point where it looked like the chain may collapse, Liz offered good advice and we managed to pull a rabbit out of a hat. I'm not planning on moving again for a long while, but wouldn't hesitate to use LIz and her team again.

Heather dealt with the conveyancing of our property that we had for sale. Their were complications with the buyer along the way but Sheltons dealt with each situation professionally and kept us up to date with any changes. Wish wish to say a big thank you to the team.

Extremely poor customer service and abysmal complaints procedures. Would never choose to deal with them again after they turned the experience of buying my first property into a complaints procedure nightmare that has lasted for months. Accused me of slanderous things that were completely untrue in an attempt to dismiss my complaint. I would hope that no one ever has such a shoddy experience with working professionals as I've had over the last three months with Edward Hands & Lewis and especially Paul Stubbs.

It'd by 0 stars if this was an option. I think this statement sums up the company - If I moved house again and this company offer the conveyancing for free I wouldn't use them. If you want one of the biggest purchases of your life ruining, go ahead and use them.
