Excellent

I used Lisa Taylor for my first property purchase, she was always on hand to answer any queries I had and was a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend.

Worst lawyers ever

I recently purchased a property and found leaks in the property one being in the boiler. I tried for 3 weeks to get someone to try and fix this but no one did. I had to get my own heating engineer to come out and look at it. The boiler was unsafe and had to be condemned, and was told this could’ve put me family in danger. I told bell and Craig about this and was told I was abusive for being angry that I’d been sold a house that’s heating isn’t working. I would stay away from these people as once they’ve got your money they don’t care.

Terrible once you have paid them

Once they’ve got their money they have no interest in helping you Infact they’re attitude completely changes and they become rude and unprofessional. Never got ours keys until 4pm and had to drive 2 hours to get them. Absolutely no sense or urgency and made us feel like a pain for calling them. Our moving date was supposed to be the happiest day of our life and instead this company made it the worst.

Unacceptable

Poor communication, constantly having to chase them up. Fergus Bell and his team gave me unsatisfactory service. I was not confident in the experience of my solicitor. Will not use them again.

Disappointing

I agree with a previous review in regards to poor communication. Overall impression I got throughout was that I was an inconvenience rather than a paying client.
Some of it was possibly down to inexperience but I fear the rest of the unhelpful service may be company culture. I note that Bell and Craig are consistently highway rated when it comes to conveyancing so I can only assume that property business is their comfort zone.

Awful communication

Poor communication throughout. Constantly have to chase them and they give no clarity on the process whatsoever without pressing

Fergus the partner seems ambivalent to his teams poor performance

Conveyancing Expertise

I received excellent service from George Craig when I recently moved house. All formalities were effectively and efficiently handled in the most professional and friendly way. And all this was conducted during difficult circumstances due to the Covid pandemic, but this did not adversely affect the service I received in any way whatsoever.

Fantastic!

I have used Bell and Craig Solicitors in Falkirk for the past 7 years and in that time purchased and sold a number of properties, always dealing with Lisa Taylor. I cannot recommend highly enough. Lisa is fantastic; friendly, honest, proactive and doesn't laugh at my stupid questions. Everything has always gone very smoothly with the transactions and legals which means I am always at ease and know I'm in good hands.

On a recent house purchase in particular there were issues with changes to dates of entry, issues with mortgage offers etc that were all completely outwith our control, but Lisa really fought my corner, going above and beyond to make sure everything went through on time.

Cannot recommend enough!
