Outstanding service

Matthew and his team were brilliant from start to finish of my recent house purchase. They kept me updated and responded in a timely manner about any queries I had. There were no hidden costs. I would definitely recommend them.

One star is too much

One star is too much. I can't quite decide what the balance of apathy and incompetence should be as it changes every time I call. The person dealing with my case was always 'on the phone / tied up / on annual leave'. Even their out-of-office replies have spelling mistakes. Avoid.

House purchase (Wakefield office )

Sally and her team helped us with our house purchase. They responded to our queries quickly and their fees are quite competitive. From start to finish, no problems - friendly reception staff and accounts team would definitely recommend this firm.

House sale and purchase

Zoe Walker was amazing throughout our sale of our house and purchase of our new home despite us changing which one we were buying two months into the process. She replied immediately to any emails and chased up the solicitors and estate agents within the sale. Thank you so much for making a stressful time more bareable !!

Excellent service from a wonderful solicitor

Katherine Webb was assigned as my solicitor for the purchasing of my new house. Katherine is super friendly and professional. When we spoke on the phone, and to an extent communicated over email, Katherine made me feel so much better about the process and its progress. This was my first house purchase so was extremely anxious about how it was supposed to go. Katherine is highly knowledgeable, has excellent communication skills and has the patience of a saint! We were under a lot of pressure by the seller to meet a tight deadline (Labour's budget), I felt that Katherine was taking the pressure off from me whilst also doing everything possible to ensure the deadline was met (even though we had no legal obligation to meet said deadline). I couldn't of asked for a better solicitor, I absolutely 100% would recommend using Core Legal and will absolutely use them again for any other legal matters in the future.

Professional and speedy

Needed to secure a property swiftly as the seller had circumstances forcing the sale within a particular time frame and core legal (Vivi & Matthew) were great at getting it done just in time. Really pleased and highly recommend.

Good service


“I recently used Core Legal for the purchase of my home, and I couldn’t be more pleased with their service. The team was professional, efficient, and always available to answer my questions throughout the process. They made what can be a stressful experience feel smooth and straightforward. I would highly recommend Core Legal to anyone looking for reliable and knowledgeable solicitors.”

Great experience with Core legal when buying our first home recently. We had Tiffany, who was very responsive. I called the main office a few times too with different queries and always had a really helpful response. They were cheaper than some of our friends are currently paying other firms too. Would definitely recommend!

We had Suresh and his team overseeing our first house purchase, which was completed today. They provided an efficient and thorough service throughout the process, providing us with updates, advice and recommendations for any queries that we had. Very thorough, knowledgeable and detailed in the conveyancing process. If we were to ever move house in the future, we would certainly use their services again.

We have just completed on our first home and used Core Legal. I cannot fault them. We used the Wakefield office and Sally dealt with our purchase. From start to finish they were professional, quick with everything, gave updates along the way, and the only time we were waiting was due to the sellers solicitors. Thank you for everything! We definitely didn’t think we would be in this quickly! Very happy.
