WB Pennine Solicitors

By far the worst solicitors. We used them to sell and buy (around 3 months before they were taken over by WB Pennine), but wow the incompetence. It would take them weeks to reply to basic inquiries, causing major frustration for all parties involved. They were never truthful about where you were in the process, one person would tell you differently to the last person you would speak to. Told us they were working towards a completion date when we hadn't even exchanged contracts, and told us not to book removals until we exchanged, but still requested our mortgage money knowing full well that we were not going to be able to exchange and complete on that day due to us not booking removals. I could go on and on and the issues we have, but do yourself a favor and DO NOT use these solicitors.

I'm giving one star because it wont allow me to rate it lower. If you see these in your chain when you're buying and or selling your home - run for the hills. Our buyer used these and safe to say the entire chain suffered. They have insane compliance practices, we had to chase them to transfer the money up the chain (4 hours!!!). Every single step of this process was beyond painful. Stress, sleepless nights and the chain almost collapsed at least 3 times. Soul destroying.

Absolutely useless conveyancing solicitor. Use bizarre compliance practices completely out of step with most law firms. Unbelievably slow and just awful! Impossible to get hold of them, do not respond to emails or calls most of the time, took them several times longer than any reasonable solicitor to respond to basic enquiries and almost made chain fall through with their insanely slow work. AVOID!

Dreadful, slow beyond belief, jeopardising a chain of sales, left us waiting until 4 o’clock on completion day.

Many thanks to James at wb pennine law and all staff members that were involved with my claim,really good support and advice throughout! Really appreciate there determination and persistence to reach a settlement,very happy with the outcome and would highly recommend the service they provide!
