Could have been better...

I required conveyancing support during divorce proceedings. Things didn't start well when no-one dialled into my initial meeting. I think it would have helped if they had understood the task by talking to me. (I had explained a lot to the initial 'front door' - but they'd passed me onto Valerie Holmes.)

The apps that they sent for me to use didn't work properly/weren't applicable to my case. This meant that what should have been fairly simple became very time-consuming. It was hard to get put through to the right person when I had a question, & communications generally weren't great. It didn't make an already-stressful process any easier.

I think the team were trying, but perhaps they were just massively over-worked. The whole process took c.3 months, which seems like a long time for a name change on house deeds...

I'm a property developer and have always used Valerie homes every time I buy and sell and also recommend them to my clients, friends and family and I have never received any negative feedback from anyone. I would definitely recommend. They are brilliant, professional and make sure all details are covered and make sure the other parties solicitors send them all details which is vital!

This year, we have used Valerie Holmes for both a purchase and a sale (separately).
The staff have always been helpful and prompt in their responses.

Delighted to have had VHPL recommended to me, and I would happily recommend the firm to others – indeed I have already done so. My solicitor was very responsive, spent a lot of time talking me through various points of law relating to my purchase, and was clear on what her legal guidance was and the matters relevant to the decisions I needed to take. VHPL guided me through the buying process from start to finish, and document signing and other relevant administration was all swift and straightforward. Thanks again for a great service.
