Brilliant Service in buying my 1st house

Solicitors Direct have been fantastic in helping me purchase my 1st house. The staff have all been very pleasant, easy to talk to and very helpful throughout.
I would particularly like to thank Leon and Julie-Ann for all their hard work and always being patient with me and talking me through different forms and checks needed.
Superb service all round and would definitely recommend to family and friends.
Thank you all again for your work and efforts.

Amazing service

I highly recommend Solicitor Direct. Our solicitor Emma was amazing. She went above and beyond to ensure we were able to complete and buy our dream home. Her work ethic, professionalism, timely manner and empathy meant she was an absolute pleasure to work with. First class service.

Sale of property

The sale of my property should have been completed in early to mid October but the buyers solicitors failed to complete correctly several documents leading to a lengthy process. Solicitors Direct went above and beyond in this matter even to the point of advising the buyers solicitor.

Our experience was excellent.
Alex Forrest is an experienced and unflappable solicitor who kept everyone on an even keel whilst the other solicitors in the chain were emoting
His advice was always brief and to the point and delivered in a friendly manner.

Terrible Service

Poor communication throughout and mistakes made consistently. Agreed to something on my behalf that I wasn’t made aware of which resulted in a financial loss for me.

We’ve used this firm for several transactions now, and their service and communication have been consistently excellent. The team is professional, responsive, and truly committed to supporting their clients. Special thanks to Anne, Julie-Anne, and Alex for their attention to detail and going the extra mile to ensure everything went smoothly, even when unexpected issues arose. It’s rare to find a conveyancing solicitor who answers calls and emails so promptly. Highly recommend!

After a non fault claim I was approached by this company, apparently on behalf of the fault party insurers. Bare in mind i was hospitalised with multiple fractures and on morphine. They were insistent that I should make a claim immediatly, and that it should be via them. When I asked some questions and tried to establish exactly what aspect they were representing, personnal injury, medial rehabiliation etc, they became very short and basically said "lets not waste each other times, I have to start a claim now, if you do not want to i will respond to another call" talk about pushy, I mean you called me and I was just seeking clarity for my morphine addled brain before commiting to representation for major legal proceedings - would stay clear.
