"Incompetent lawyers who cannot read"

This went badly from the beginning. Onboarding is a mess and incredibly slow as it took about 1 month. Other solicitors have an app that onboards electronically and takes about 3 days. They didn’t read my documents properly and then told me that I had unreasonable expectations when I demanded that they read things properly before sending them.

Examples of all the issues over 2 months;
Onboarding took about a month.
Estate agent sent them incorrect details about their own firm and I had to correct them, they didn’t notice - which would have later on affected my mortgage deposit.
Not reading my proof of funds thoroughly and mistaking my sources of funds for incompatible sources. If I hadn’t already researched ISA compatibility, then it could have made someone pull out of their purchase.
- It took weeks to start conducting searches (about 4 weeks).
When they did start finally finish the searches, they then didn’t actually share the search pack without prompt even though they told me it was done.
Not very thorough with enquiries e.g. Discrepancies as to whether or not I am liable for a service charge. There is no acknowledgement of this discrepancy.
The legal team have deemed the lease to be ineligible, whereas the sellers solicitors do not. I asked that their next steps were to resolve this impasse as I obviously cannot purchase a property without understanding what it says. They told me that I had unreasonable expectations regarding this. As if it is unreasonable to expect my legal advisers to fully read the lease?!
sending me the wrong documents (relating to another flat entirely which I have no involvement with without checking whether it is relevant for my case

"Great team to trust with your conveyance needs"

Conveyance was bit delayed but the team did their best ensuring completion date deadline. Swift response to all emails. Much appreciated to V Davis and team

"Never met in person . First time buyers"

Wilford smith were very easy to work with. The sale completed quickly and at no point was it delayed by our side.
I would use this service next time and am looking to use them for a will writing service also.

"Good value for money"

Good value for money. I have not used other solicitors however WS were cheap and got the job done with no issues. FTB flat purchase leasehold.

"House sale and purchase"

House sale and purchase - they have been amazing. Rushaida is so efficient. Zero issues.

I moved from another solicitors because they were so slow. These guys are speedy.

"Santander Panel solicitors "

Used them as they are on the Santander panel.

Pros: 1. Chethana and Dulaj very responsive and kind.
2. No unforeseen fees, paid what the initial quote was.
3. Completed in less than 4 months.

Cons: 1. you had to chase a lot for the work to be done and for the process to move forward. A lot of emails and phone calls.
2. Not responsive to the sellers solicitors, so I had to call and ask them to respond to the sellers solicitors emails.

In general, we were so thrilled to get the keys to our first home that we forgot the struggles of the journey.

"Excellent service,"
