Slow

The whole process was very protracted (7 months), in a flat sale with no chain on either side. The only issue was the lack of a leasehold management pack, which in the event, wasn't necessary. Many weeks went by with no progress. When following up I'd be informed it was being chased but no explanation for what or why there was a hold up. It was very frustrating. I immediately went on to sell my Mother's house via another solicitor and it took 3 months. I don't sell property frequently so was unaware whether 7 months was standard or not, but the market wasn't buoyant and the subsequent sale demonstrated faster was possible.

Solicitor, Victoria Simpson is an excellent conveyancing solicitor. She has been my solicitor for a number of years and completed several conveyancing matters for me. I followed her from her previous practice because she is very conscientious, expeditious and approachable.
I can't really comment on the company itself but I would definitely recommend Victoria for conveyancing.

As a first time buyer i had no idea of the process and what to expect. But everything from start to finish went very smoothly, there was an issue with the developers which caused a hold up of purchase but i was kept informed of progress at every step and completed in good time. I cannot thank Victoria and her team enough for their expertise. i would highly recommend.
