No hesitation in recommending Beeton Edwards LLP to anyone.
Many thanks to Mrs Karen and whole team!
I definitely would recommend.
I was not going to bother writing a review as I understood the pressures of the stamp duty tax cut off dates BUT I have just received an email from HTB that they are still working with the solicitor to finalise all of the completion documents for our case, which has resulted in a 6 month delay in setting up our HTB direct debit! Why on earth has this not been finalised yet?!
The solicitor who was dealing with our purchase provided pretty much 0 customer service and we were left in the dark right until the very end which took about 6 months for us to complete with no chain.
I spoke to her probably twice on the phone and very rarely did she respond to questions in my emails which is incredibly rude and poor, considering as a first time buyer you would hope to be kept at-least informed on what is going on!
On several occasions our paperwork included mistake after mistake (even had the wrong lender and mortgage amount on one of the documents which took 2 attempts to rectify). I have never been so stressed in my life. If it wasn’t for the estate agent I wouldn’t of had a clue what was going on as my few calls were never returned and a quick email response takes what? A couple of minutes of your time - if that.
No sense of care or urgency and I would really urge the solicitor to ask herself whether this is the treatment she would expect when paying thousands of pounds for a service that quite frankly, is the worst I’ve ever received from anyone.
If you are short staffed then at-least acknowledge that I exist and explain that to me, or better yet don’t bother taking on more clients if you are unable to provide good customer service.
Edit: clearly the responder is defensive and can’t apologise but only make excuses. My main gripe that I pointed out was the lack of communication with me - the customer - paying for the service. If the solicitor doesn’t call to introduce themselves or even say “hey this is going to take a little longer than a normal property purchase” and is silent for 3-4 weeks without saying a word, you get worried what’s going on. Anyway, I shouldn’t need to explain myself. Take accountability.
