Outstanding Solicitors!

5

My family have recently used Lowick McKay selling various houses, one of which under sad circumstances. Bernadette and her team showed compassion, care & explained everything excellently, nothing was too much trouble.
The support we received has been 5 star and we wouldn’t use anyone else.

Horrific Experience both selling and buying a house!

1

We sold and bought a house at the same time so once we realised what this company or should I say what Bernadette was like we were in too deep to back out of using them! As soon as we signed the dotted line the communication diminished and we simply became “a number” to this company. We were buying a house through auction which, if anyone has experience this is quite stressful, and means you’re on a very very limited time scale which can cause lots of financial difficulties and losses if not met, this didn’t phase Bernadette in the slightest! She didn’t show any compassion or concern with our worries and priorities if our case wasn’t shown in the slightest! The whole process made myself and my husband quite unwell, and this was largely due to the lack of care and concern in helping us A. Completion of buying our new house, and B. The completion of sale on our old house!

We had to wait 10 months for the sale of our house to complete, this was solely down to the time Bernadette took to compete any part of the case. We had to find information out for her on several occasions just to speed up the process and do her job!

We had our buyers pulling out due to the time taken and Bernadette used to be incredibly rude and unprofessional during phone calls to us!

I don’t like leaving negative reviews for anyone, however if I stop someone from using these solicitors, then I know I’ve done a good deed!


This happened in 2022 but it’s only now that I feel able to speak about it, the whole experience was very traumatic!

A representative from Lowick Mckay responded to this review on 26 November, 2024

We apologise for the delay in responding to this review but as the review is anonymous, and the matter was dealt with over 2 years ago it has taken to time to trace the matter in question. The sale file was opened in May 2022 and during the transaction it came to light that a part of the garden used by yourselves was not in fact owned or registered in your names, we did not act for you in the original purchase and it was not dealt with at the time by the solicitors who did act for you. The property was purchased as a repossession and this garden area was not included in the title. The buyers raised the issue in July and we instigated a search of the title to the extra garden to trace the owner. We reported this information to yourselves, you informed us that you knew the whereabouts of the owner and supplied the owner’s address. We contacted the owner who did not respond initially to obtain consent to transfer the land. After reminders we eventually received the Transfer on 13 September which was immediately sent to Land Registry for registration. The buyers insisted that the title be registered before they would complete the purchase, we applied for the matter to be expedited at Land Registry and registration completed on 13 October. The buyers agreed a completion date of 3 November which was 6 months from initial instruction and not 10 months as stated. You were regularly updated by our office via phone and email and was well aware of the issues that had to be dealt with. Your purchase file was opened on 11 May 2022 and the matter completed on 15 June 2022.

Superb service, the best in the business

I you are looking for a solicitor to provide a 5 star service to you and your clients and help enhance the reputation of your business then congratulations on finding Lowick McKay, you have just found exactly what you are looking,

I don't normally leave a review but I don't normally receive a consistently superb service, Bernadette Janet, Paula take a big bow you really have deserved it guys,

The charges are almost insignificant to the services provided, very competitive costs,
We have been providing mortgage advice for a number of years now and have tried and tested many solicitors firm in the hope of finding one that would work in partnership with us to provide the 5 star services we strive to provide, this has proven to be a real difficulty, so many firms over promise and under deliver, if you have suffered a similar problem with referring clients, this can make or break your reputation and ability to retain clients, the provide a huge range of services

Bernadette, Janet and Paula are the best in the business, super helpful, efficient supportive and incredibly knowledgeable,
Don't take my word for it, give these a chance, you'll see for yourself!!!!
