Excellent service of conveyancing

In searching for a solicitor for conveyancing, a friend recommended Star Legal. She told me she had recommended it to 10+ of her friends, and all the experiences have been positive. I took the advice to ask Star Legal for help, and this was the best advice I had ever taken. Star Legal's professional and efficient work made the conveyancing process transparent and smooth. As a first-time buyer, I did not know much about the whole process, but Sara and the crew were professional and friendly in answering all my questions and enquiries, so I had a peaceful mind, knowing that things were progressing well. The whole process took three months to complete (could be two months, but there were hiccups on the seller's side), so they were efficient without compromising the steps and details. Without them, I could not have moved to my new home as planned. Thanks, Star Legal!

2022-2023 Selling and Purchasing

I have used Star Legal for both selling and purchasing my properties. In both situations, I have been pleased with the professional yet very approachable response from my solicitor.
No question is too insignificant to ask! The response time with emails has been very good,
I would certainly recommend Star Legal and particularly my solicitor, for anyone wanting to sell or purchase their home.
Buying and selling a home can be very stressful time for anyone - thank you for making it more pleasurable!

Efficient service

Having dealt with several conveyancers over the years, I would not hesitate to recommend Sara and her team for their sensible no non-sense, conveyancing services. Their response time is almost immediate to any queries raised. I came to Star Legal as we have used Sara in the past and have been very pleased with the transactions. I would say that the whole team on this occasion have been very efficient and cannot fault any of them.

Richard Vos, Susie Heal and staff were superb.

Nothing was too much trouble in the conveyancing they did for us, complicated by one of the Executors living abroad. Many thanks indeed to you all.

Weathering the house move storm

I have found in the 20 years since I last moved house that the process has become more complicated and stressful. It took 10 months from start to finish.
I have realized that I do not cope well with stress and anxiety over a prolonged period. So it was a relief to deal with Harvinder and her team. They gave timely and appropriate advice and calmly kept me on an even Keel.

Sims Cook & Teague were brilliant, but since being taken over by Star they are awful. Poor communication & showed no interest in my elderly mum's house sale.

This is the second attempt to purchase the property through Star Legal. On the first attempt I felt I was put in a position to withdraw my offer because of the abysmal work done by Star Legal. Due to long reply times, emails being sent to incorrect email addresses, an avoidance of responsibility and a staggering lack of progress that I can only think shows the complete lack of competency or interest to sell the property, I had a completely lost faith that the transaction would compete, or that the seller wanted the transaction to complete. I simply could not comprehend how a seller could possibly be satisfied with the level of service Star Legal offered.

I am now attempting to buy the property for a second time. I requested that the seller did not use your company again. I have nothing good to say about the work done by Star Legal and would actively recommend others to be very wary about buying a house that Star Legal is conveyancing. Again, I am having nothing but delayed communication, a lack of action and a denial that emails have been received.

Avoid.
