A massive thank you to Lucy for everything! Couldn't have survived this without your calm reassuring emails - (well most of them were calm…..). Thank you again for all the hard work and perseverance.

Core Legal have just handled the conveyancing for our house sale and purchase, we found them to be efficient and proactive to secure our move before the impact of stamp duty changes.

Excellent Service

We used Core Legal when selling our property through Richard Kendall Estate Agents in Ossett.
We had no problems at all and our sale was completed within the timescale we were originally quoted.
Although based in the NE, we were able visit their local office in Wakefield if we needed to drop off documents or speak to a member of staff.
No problems at all, I'd be happy to recommend Core Legal.

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.

It took Core legal 6 weeks to complete my purchase. I was referred by my broker who stated they completed all his clients really quickly, I checked the reviews and was a little nervous but trusted his judgement. First week, I missed the digital profile log in details, once I logged in and completed all the documents, it took Vivi exactly 5 weeks to finish everything. I collected my keys today. They never missed a call or email from me, the digital profile was telling me exactly at what stage we were at and what to expect next. Thank you for looking after my family and myself 🫶 Vivi you were amazing!

I would strongly recommend in not using them, I had to deal with the documents and majority of the sale, they were delaying it and had I not chased I would not have brought the property in time. They taken almost three years to provide the title reg which I had to chase on. Not good at all and I’ve asked my mortgage advisor to not provide them to other customers.

Core legal were brilliant every step of the way for our first time house purchase. Always professional, communicated well. Answered all queries we had and explained each step well. Suresh was fantastic on completion day as we had issues with Seller and key hand over. Very supportive kept me calm through a stressful day. Suresh followed up with a call early the following morning, before opening! Thank you Core Legal for a smooth process and holding our hand throughout! Strongly recommend

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.
