Very average. But expected for the price.

Valerie Holmes was a very mixed bag. At first it felt like great progress was being made. But then, as the process progressed, it felt like drawing blood from a stone from our assigned lawyer. As a result, we felt like we did more chasing than what would be expected.

The assistant to Michelle, Maisie, seemed significantly more proactive and gave us much fuller responses to our requests, in some cases, we’d be lucky to have received one from Michelle.

It’s hard to actually get in contact with the conveyancer, and telephone communication felt like an add-on as opposed to normality and as a result of that, we asked to speak many times to Michelle, but was left with an email response if we got one.

Michelle was very friendly, and when you can communicate with her most of the information is accurate, and they do have the clients best interests. However, it certainly shows that their systems are dated, and as a result makes the buyer feel in the dark a lot of the time. If this gets rectified, the chances are you’d feel a lot more involved passively.

It would be much more preferred if you received more regular updates, even if there’s no new changes.

After changing solicitors half way through the sale of my flat, Stephanie was a breath of fresh air. She gave me regular updates & kept me informed every step of the way. She was also very responsive and really put my mind at ease

Great service from the Valerie Holmes team. They kept me well informed throughout, and worked speedily and efficiently near the end of the process when the other party applied tight timescales for completion. Friendly and approachable, and will definitely recommend!

Excellent from start to finish

Laura worked tirelessly with Michelle to finalise my sale and purchase. When time was of the essence towards the end of the process due to an ultimatum from my buyer, Laura was on hand to talk me through everything and reassure me but she also remained honest throughout. I cannot thank them enough.

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!

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.
