Calvert Smith & Sutcliffe Ltd I have to give FULL STARS as conveyance solicitors…read more Buying a home has been a nightmare, even worse if you don't have the right solicitor. I was unlucky the first time, even though the original solicitors I choose was award winning one, their conduct was unprofessional when things went pear shaped, but that was just my personal experience. Thankfully Calvert Smith & Sutcliffe Ltd sorted it out. Put simply, WORD OF MOUTH has helped me more.... so here goes: Calvert Smith & Sutcliffe Ltd, specifically Ms Davis (conveyance solicitor we used) has a STRAIGHT FORWARD work ethic, her honesty in the process, professionalism, knowledge, and quick responses to our questions was a breath of fresh air. She did not just send a quick email/call, she actually bothered to send a letter to follow up each time for key matters, even after things have been fully paid and completed. As simple as this may seem, I have not had this experience with other firms in London e.g. supply and demand I feel reduces quality of customer service you recieve. The quote I received from Calvert Smith & Sutcliffe was reasonably priced with no hidden costs in the terms and conditions which I had to watch out for when trying to find the right person. TBH I went with her after a lot consideration, but I knew little about the firm besides the quote and the manner in which they communicated with me when searching for quotes (I think it says a lot about a company work ethic if they are not pushy over the phone, being straight forward in the pricing and don't add unnecessary charges, which reflects my experience with Ms Davis). So thank you for making the end part of the purchase a simple one. In London I found that I was being quoted silly amounts by others or low quotes riddled with complex terms and conditions with unnecessary hidden costs or poor advise. Overall it is a hard to find a good conveyance solicitor, so I hope this review helps others who may be struggling to find the right conveyance solicitor within London.

A very nice law practice that is a pleasure to deal with…read more Whereas many solicitors are mixes of arrogance and procrastination, these guys really are wanting to please and do a good job. They are a small practice with a few people in the office, but personally I like this because they are all wanting to perform and not just hide behind a system. One email I sent, they did not return after a day so I called them up and they resolved it immediately for me. Always good and they did a nice job Their prices are very reasonable and I will be using them again.

I cam across Charles Russell online some 8 years ago and needed a lawyer to review the contracts I…read morewas using with US clients. Needless to say all the lawyers I spoke to wanted me to put 1-2K up front, but not Charles Russell. Not only did they quote me a price on the job, they also stuck to it, despite going over! Fast forward another 6 years and I have used them plenty of times, both for IT related, IP related and property related issues. The various teams I have worked with have always been hugely professional and not just do what they are meant to but also come up with innovative ideas and solutions. I have even taken hour long, fact finding calls and not been charged. Charles Russell are great lawyers, but at the same time they do not act like typical money-grabbing lawyers. By way of a great example of their reach, at a dinner party recently I was talking property law with another person there. When it came to recommending lawyers, another person at this party also, completely by chance, recommended Charles Russell, without my prompting. Charles Russell aren't the only lawyers in London, and I have plenty of friends in the profession, but they are the best ones I have come across yet, and alas I have had to deal with a few!

This firm of solicitors is one of the worst firms of solicitors in London, and possibly in the…read moreUnited Kingdom. They are extremely dishonest as far as their billing practices go. They appear to hire quite a lot of junior and trainee solicitors. They charge the same and higher fees as other good firms of solicitors in the centre of London charge for partners. This inevitably results in mistakes being made. They do not take responsibility for their mistakes. In fact, you will most likely pay for them to correct their mistakes. This is definitely a case of buyer beware, unless you have a lot of money to throw their way.

Many emails or parts of emails were simply ignored (simple requests for ETA's for example). - 2.5yrs later (I previously rated 2 stars but had to backtrack on this) AFTER the flat sale went through, it transpired that the land registry element of the service was not carried out; a CORE function of the solicitors responsibility. They did apologise, however then took a further FOUR MONTHS to put the situation right. I had somehow been a home owner without having my name on the official deeds. Overall I would strongly advise looking elsewhere for your conveyancing needs.
