Excellent service

We needed some general advice regarding our options for handling an intestacy issue. Appointment was arranged very quickly and Sadie and Ellie provided an excellent service to ensure we had all the information to move forward. Many thanks.

Sadie sorted out my Will (updated from 10+ years ago) with no problems. Would use again, although costs are fairly daunting.

Ignored and discarded

Not impressed.
Ignorant, short and probably not very good at the job.

Initially pleased with first impression, quickly eroded as each day revealed an empty inbox.

Very rude, very unprofessional, very not earning a penny from me.

Useless.

Good experience

Prompt and helpful service. I was not the most organised client but Emma and Deborah kept me on track and I was able to complete my house sale on schedule. It is also worth noting that around this time several of my family members were buying and selling and Emma and Deborah were by far the most proactive and responsive solicitors we interacted with. Thank you both!

A painful house buying experience for me using these solicitors. My experience was that they were slow and unresponsive and got certain details wrong.... with lots of duplication. My original solicitor with PCB was replaced with a locum after contracting Covid.... and it went wrong from there.
I got to the point where I needed to ask a partner to step in who reviewed, and overruled the other solicitor in some cases. They told me that my £1,200 quote had increased significantly (without notification) and they would accept £2,000.00 (which I paid). However, the solicitor I used to sell my house (yes I retracted using PCB for selling) went through without any fuss or hassle, despite buyer problems.

We were selling and buying a new home. It turned out not to be straight forward but Jessica was amazing and worked long hours to get it through before the stamp duty deadline. Can't speak highly enough of how great she was and would recommend her any day. All done with her beautiful smile.
