Friendly, supportive and efficient!

Hannah made two first time buyers feel at ease despite a challenging and delayed purchase. The process was clearly explained to us and our (often simple!) questions were always answered so quickly. We had total confidence that Hannah was “on it” from start to finish. Would 100% recommend Ackland & Co.

Excellent service

We recently used Ackland & Co solicitors for our house purchase and sale and we’re very pleased with the service provided and at an affordable price. A special thank you to Hannah for her professionalism and diligence in helping us through both transactions. The sale should have been straight forward with only two in the chain, but the buyers conveyancer kept throwing challenges in our direction making things more protracted than they should have been. Thankfully Hannah saw us safely through it all with skill and with good humour. We have no hesitation in recommending their conveyancing services and would be very happy to use them again.

House sale

I sold my house through Ackland and co. Hannah Maddy acted on my behalf. It was not a straight forward sale and took many months. Despite all her other cases Hannah kept me informed as to progress and answering the buyers solicitors many question regarding the property.

Outstanding Conveyancing Support

Emma-Rose, Kevin & Simon at Ackland & Co were a fantastic support to us when we sold our home. There were multiple delays due to issues with our buyer but they kept on top of everything and kept things as simple as possible for us. Most importantly, at what can be a stressful time, they were always available to take a call and responded to queries via email incredibly quickly. This to me was the most important part and is what from previous experience with other Solicitors, can sadly be lacking.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Emma-Rose and the team at Ackland & Co for any conveyancing needs. They were efficient, transparent and incredibly supportive.

Best solicitors ever!!!

I would 100% recommend Ackland and Co solictors to deal with any conveyancing needs. Both Emma and Simon were highly professional and their communication was second to none. Never did I feel like I didn’t know what was going on with our sale and purchase as they were so responsive with any questions I had and also their friendly approach allowed me to ask any “daft” questions I had. 100% would recommend !!

Outstanding and Professional Service

Hannah Maddy at Ackland & Co recently handled the sale and purchase of our properties. The purchase was not straight forward with the house being in a conservation area and the vendor was selling a part of the land but Hannah was so professional in the way she handled this and without her expertise I doubt very much if we would have finalised the purchase. She was knowledgeable, caring, very efficient and more importantly we could contact her at any time and she was always there with a cheery response which made the process so much easier. I cannot rate Hannah and Ackland & Co highly enough for their conveyancing services.

When called upon to protect my interests Ackand failed completely.

Ackland were recommended to me by a developer when purchasing an off plan property (should've known better). The development ran into difficulties and eventually stalled. None of this is the fault of Ackand of course but at this juncture you'd expect solicitors acting on your behalf to do their best to update you and protect your interests. Instead I got 2 months of fobbed off excuses, claiming they were awaiting more information, etc etc. I got more updates from media coverage than my own solicitors. These guys were bullied and given the runaround by the developers legal representatives by the looks of it. Investor communications from the sales agent told me to contact my solicitor numerous times following changes in the outlook of the project. Not once did I receive any advice or even an outline of any options I had. 2 months of complete silence from these guys at end the project went into administration (again reported in the papers 3 days prior to Ackland letting me know). All I got was as 'we feel bad on your behalf' letter and a request to pay them more money.

I'm lodging a complaint over their complete inaction with the SRA and seeking advice as to whether I have recourse to them due their poor representation. There are 100s of investors in the same position as me due to Ackland's inability to actually perform as solicitors. DO NOT hire this firm, they will fail you when you need them.
