Can’t fault the service

We used Shared direction conveyancing during the purchase of our shared ownership home. They kept up informed each step of the process and answered any questions we had promptly. The whole process went smoothly from start to finish! Can’t thank them enough.

ANXIETY INDUCING COMPANY

Scored 1 star because i couldn't score 0. My whole experience with this company has felt like a nightmare for the best part of the last couple of months. No communication what so ever, had to chase for everything and can never reach them, phone lines have been down since Monday this week. My case officers have misinformed me about how much they can withdraw from my LISA so my funds are now stock. I am in the final completion stages of my purchase and i don't have an update or realistic idea of my completion date. The housing association have now informed me today that if my purchase is not completed by the end of the month they will remarket the property. Don't know what to do as i am not able to ring them and i am not getting any responses from the email i sent them today. Totally disappointed with my experience with this firm, Metro Finance reassured me from day one that this firm was recommended, i started having doubts from the beginning but decided to proceed with them because i already pay initial deposit and started the process with them. I am really feeling regretful about not listening to my gut instincts, i am now concerned about loosing this property!

Satisfied

For the last half of our purchase everyone was Fantastic. The only thing I was bothered about was not being told they weren't also representing us with our sale too. It should be made aware that the quote you get is for only one particular side and not for both as we had to scramble then to find another solicitor. When you know nothing about that sort of business and are told to find representation you don't get told to make sure they will sort the sale and the purchase and it probably would've cost less if we had to only pay one solictors. A disclaimer would be good. Other than that and the slight pronlemon of not being able to get hold of anyone cos of annual leave or illness and then finally getting through to someone on their behalf and have to tell everything that's happened so far again amd again.then having to wait for them to read through the file to catch up is very tedious and sometimes just takes far too long when you need to give people answers asap. Other than that we were eventually satisfied with the work that was done

I am glad that I am over dealing with SDLT. I have been in so much stress dealing with them until even after my house was completed, they were still asking for mortgage deed to besigned despite of me sending this 4 times to them and spent a lot of money just to have these documents posted secured! I have been chasing my application myself and chased the local authority just for us to complete on time! Otherwise, we may have completed end of September! If you dont push them, they will never give you update or do any actions! Which is not supposed to be as you paid them for your application to be smoothly processed. However it wasnt the case! I am so disappointed as as a FTB I have to go through this and I have learned my lesson not to use them the next time! I should even be paying myself as I was mostly doing all the chasing! Even the mortgage offer from the Lender I have to contact them myself just for them to receive this on time! I would avoid them specially the Birmingham branch. Still giving 2 stars as atleast my application was completed but LOADS OF CHASING!!!!!

I feel I pulled the short straw for who was dealing with my purchase. Poor communication, ignored my emails and could not answer the phone/get back to voicemails and they appeared to overlook paperwork- such as telling me how a piece was missing after completion. I would not recommend.
