Constantine and Summers - Ombudsman ruling
The Legal Ombudsman ruled that "the firm's service was unreasonable as they delayed the release of Mr Smart's funds". Ruling number F116460. ERef: 0086600334
The ombudsman stated "This was a relatively significant service failing, as the firm delayed releasing a very large sum of money" and that "I expect this would have had an impact on Mr Smart's day to day life".
The Ombudsman also stated "compensation does fall within our significant award category, due to the impact this has had on Mr Smart" however this took 20 months and the amount received in no way compensates for the stress of selling a house and finding yourself beholden to the one party that you should be able to trust, your solicitor?
There has been no apology from Constantine and Summers.
The ruling F116140 ERef: 0086600334 is available upon requested as a matter of public record from the Legal Ombudsman.

Unbeatable: solid, efficient, affordable. I used Constantine and Summers LLP for conveyancing for the purchase of my first property. Griselda and Jane are reliable, professional and efficient. They provide a traditional solicitor service in all the right ways, which taps into the modern solicitor service you need. They are thorough and knowledgeable, they utilise communication by regular email to ensure letters aren't unnecessarily delayed via Royal Mail.
My face-to-face contact with Jane and Griselda was also reassuring. They have an honest and open approach which leads to zero ambiguity. They are readily available and quick to respond to queries. I felt certain they were leaving no stones unturned throughout my process and I really felt I was getting a service unparalleled when considering the cheap online conveyancers or the high street licensed conveyancers. This is a proper solicitor service accessible for all and not prohibitively overpriced. Thanks to all at Constantine and Summers LLP. I am very happy in my new home.
