AVOID!
I rarely leave reviews on anything, however I would advise anyone that thinks about using them not to, yes you do get a good price in comparison there’s a reason for that. My property was picked pretty quickly but because of their lack of communication with me the customer after asking several times what they needed from me which was supplied at the earliest I could, they still managed to take supposedly 48 to review the documents, more like 120+ hours despite me constantly contacting. After phoning to be told to email, which is what I did in the first place. Over 7 months, even then buyer solicitors couldn’t get hold of them and they the contacted me, which frankly is not right. Then at the time of exchange to be told they needed something else from me despite the above, which then prolonged it for another 2/3 weeks. Shocking! I asked to complain and they did the generic “should probably do something” and didn’t even give me a chance to complain (made them pull their finger out) which you have to do via the website again still waiting a response over week plus later. I’m planning on going to the legal ombudsman as this is the route you have to take before approaching them. Streams of emails that prove my point! AVOID AT ALL COSTS!! Pay a bit extra and get someone/another firm. Also at the last hurdle asked me for all of the documents that I had already sent that they already had but didn’t bother to look for (the documents they ask for to start the process). And your on the phone for roughly 30 minutes on hold/in the que before anyone answers. Again AVOID!!!

They delayed my completion and the communication was awful
I would phone and be waiting for over an hour every time and never get hold of someone.
I would email and never get a reply and they would also treat the other solicitors the same. To the point that the vendors where going to put it back on the market two days before we agreed on a date. The whole move took 20 weeks.

Mixed feelings
Don’t use this company, they allocate you one solicitor for sale & one for purchase and this just doesn’t work!
and although we we're told this would not cause any issues it meant that we had to be very proactive in communicating with both solicitors to ensure everything was getting done, basically doubling the communication, if we had known this at instruction we would never had used them
Our purchasing solicitor Donna Cutts communication was totally unprofessional & unacceptable, we complained over & over again to one of her assistants to try and get her to call us which she never did, she was always working from home, We were told that she ‘ preferred to communicate by email’ Her emails were very confusing as it appeared she copied templates and added sections & these would often contradictory, we needed to speak to her to understand her emails but she never called us back which made us feel very unsure of what was happening with our purchase
Eventually we asked for our Purchase to be moved to another solicitor
Our sale was dealt with by Chris Morris who was excellent, he spoke to us several times during the process giving clear advise and communication
Because of our experience with the purchasing solicitor I would say don’t use these firm for your conveying
Chris Morris 5 stars
Donna Cutts 0 stars

6 months for completion
For the first 4 months it was almost impossible to talk to anyone on the phone to help me answer questions or to find out how things were going with the sale, towards the end the phone was answered quickly which helped. I don’t understand why the sale took so long.

Sale of property
Set up was very easy. Response to questions was good and accurate. Cost was extremely competitive. Essentially they just did the job that they promised to do and they did it well.

Slow Slow Slow
Firstly I have little criticism of the individuals who in general were professional and competent.
Key issue for me is that the service is process driven rather than client driven. Particular issues included:
Over a month to complete ID checks which I don't think would have been done if I hadn't chased up
Telephone hold times - always 5-15 minutes of awful music before speaking to anyone
Slow responses to my buyers solicitors - this in turn led to frequent chasing of me by my buyer, meaning I needed to chase PM Law and it became a viscous circle of time usage for everyone
Some questions asked of me without checking what I had already provided e.g. Flood report requested when that had been uploaded at the outset
The most frustrating item was that once we were in a position to exchange I was advised that all the paperwork had to be "second checked" internally and this would take at least 5 working days to complete - this raises the question as to how much confidence PM have in their own lawyers?, as well as causing even more excitement to my potential buyer and further flurries of messages and phone calls to me (which I ended up managing to avoid hassling my solicitor which doesn't seem client friendly to me)
Finally - there appeared to be no clear escalation process when I needed some extra help.
Completion day itself was a good experience, funds received early in the day and paid out to me same day. Overall though I'm not a happy client

Use local solicitors
Took 6 months to complete and it would have taken longer if I hadn’t taken an active role in contacting the management company
