The best property solicitor I have worked with

5

As a buy to let investor I have my fair share of issues and worked with multiple solicitors, Joseph is by far the best , proactive in communication and always responds in earliest time. He went above and beyond to get the contract exchange happen in a very tight schedule which would have cost me big amount . Highly recommended

Sale of property in Eastbourne

5

Thanks to both Roy and Joe for pushing the sale through on my flat in what was a fairly tricky transaction with lots of back and forth with the buyers solicitor asking very granular questions. I was relieved to sell the property as my previous buyer pulled out of the transaction.

Roy and Joe were great to deal with during the process and always replied to my emails and calls in a timely fashion. The documents they sent were understandable with a covering letter explaining exactly what was required from me which made it less stressful.

One small thing that I felt could improve the service is completing the transaction slightly faster as it took close to 6 months from end to end and i found i really had to push it through from my side where i could, but perhaps this is the norm these days!

Also it is very tricky to get hold of Roy, but this is likely due to him being extremely busy im sure with multiple cases and that is completely understandable as I know he takes a very senior role within the company. I feel it would help other customers if they were notified of this simply just so they are aware that this will happen during their case so they don't get frustrated attempted to speak with Roy and instead there are other very competent colleagues that can assist them such as Joe who offers a great alternative and is a pleasure to deal with!

Overall i was really happy with their work and completing the sale of my flat, so thanks once again for all your efforts.

Acting for seller of a second home

5

I was impressed with the conduct of the sale process. Information given to assist my completion of forms was clear, exchanges between my solicitor and me were uncomplicated. Matters were dealt with promptly, including requests from the buyer’s solicitors. As a result completion of the sale was achieved within just over two months.
There were no difficult legal issues involved in the sale process so some of the items for rating are not completed.

Disappointing experience

2

Our first solicitor was Roy Bridge and we had no issues with Roy, he seemed helpful but he then went on annual leave and Joe Sheriff took over our case.

We were very unimpressed with joes work. Joe couldn’t find our mortgage deed a week before we were due to complete, so we had to drive all the way to Eastbourne so he had it. We was on a very tight schedule as our mortgage offer was due to expire and we couldn’t afford any more delays.

We was shocked he left it to the week before completion to check over all our documents, which demonstrated really unprofessional work from a solicitor. This could have been checked over weeks before he submitted a certificate of title to the lender. But it was checked when he submitted, this caused us lots of added stress with was easily avoided.

Joe also lacked in communication, we phoned him a few times (leaving voice mails to return the calls) and he would ignore them and would not call back.

Lesley weller the receptionist was a little bit rude too.
