We were selling a house to a cash buyer with no chain at all and it took over four months which was ridiculous. The house was not registered but we were told at the beginning this wouldn't be a problem but it definitely seemed to be. We felt we were chasing Wendy all the time and received excuses like it must of gone to my spam after she hadn't replied to the other solicitor for over two weeks. We were told countless times she would ring us back which of course never happened, it often took over a week for her to reply to any emails if at all. We completed everything we received promptly but this didn't speed anything up. The buyer had to sign two different contracts because the first one was incorrect, and then was overcharged on the invoice presented by your firm which we had to point out. Overall very disappointed.

Antiquated, outdated and unorganized.. a simple house conveyancing matter feels like its happening despite of them not because of them.
Very little advice or work being done, they essentially just seem to pass documents back and forth. Its also extremely frustrating they they prefer to avoid modern systems everyone else is using, my last two house purchases over the last 14 years have been completed using electronic document handling,
WGA send mixed signals in one email after being pushed they say they use virtual Signature, in another they outright refused to do anything electronically. outside factors apart a process that should have taken 2-3 weeks maximum is delayed with hard copies taking weeks to pass between all parties..
I'd say its time they embraced the future but its not even that, they seem stuck in 1993 whilst everyone else has been using electronic documents for 20 years...!!!
No real level of attention and when you raise an issue there is no apology or acknowledgement, its simply ignored and they carry on regardless.

My Partner and I have just purchased a Building Plot, Jackie Murfitt dealt with the conveyancing in the post professional way, she was so thorough with the detail and found many mistakes made by the vendor’s solicitors.
I would absolutely recommend Jackie at Ward Gethin Archer she has been brilliant ( Thank you Jackie ) .
