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.

Excellent service . . .

Core Legal through the efficient services of Sally Hare were excellent throughout a rather stressful process, due entirely to the snails pace of the buyers solicitors.

Everything was dealt with in a very professional and outstanding manner.

Would definitely recommend and use again.

Many thanks

Efficient and painless

I've previously experienced issues with solicitors when selling a house, however I am delighted to say Core Legal have been fantastic.
The whole process was made simple and hassle free by Zoe and the team at the Stockton office.
The sale went through quickly and the paperwork was dealt with efficiently, needing minimal effort from me for completion. I would highly recommend.

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.

Excellent service from start to finish. We used the York office for our sale and purchase of our homes. Matthew, Vivi and Ellie gave regular updates with the case and made the whole process a lot easier. Would recommend to anyone.

DO NOT RECOMMEND. I’ve now used Core legal twice, first time they were very good so decided to use them again when buying. Well they were appalling. Losing paperwork, saying they hadn’t received paperwork when I had sent it recorded and signed for. Having to ask them 2,3 and 4 times for things. Constantly chasing them. What should taken a couple of months was dragged out a lot longer than needed.

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!

Outstanding service from Core Legal. They were professional, efficient, and kept me informed throughout the process. Their expertise and attention to detail made everything seamless and stress-free. Couldn't have asked for a better experience – highly recommended.
