I am however writing this review to bring your attention to one particular solicitor. Mr Nicholas Brothers of the Croydon office is an extremely diligent and pleasant individual. He puts himself out to ensure that transactions progress at a satisfactory rate, whilst ensuring that all issues are identified and properly addressed. He can be relied on to pursue the inevitable questions and queries that arise during any property sale/purchase. Until he is satisfied that his clients best interests are assured.
I have always found his service and experience of an outstanding level. I would say his commitment and knowledge of commercial conveyancing is second to none and we have always valued his opinion and judgement.
We look forward to working with Cunningtons (Nick) again on our next commercial purchase.
I am very regretted to use their service. It is time to break my silence to alarm the public.
Firstly, my purchase was seriously delayed. It took nearly 10 months to completion, and another 5 months passed, I still could not get my title registered.
Antonai required to do the simultaneous exchange and completion during the pandemic, which the seller rejected with good reason. Although I explained to her that it was not my best interest not to process it at all, but she asked me to sign an addition provision which meant I had to pay hundreds extra, I refused. Finally she forced me to sign a disclaimer to move this forward, and I had to renew my mortgage deals and pay extra for my expired local search. Now, my title still could not be registered no matter how many times I had to chase, even Antonia can not give me an answer about what exactly happened. The whole process is full of stress and painful.
Second, the quote they gave me may be a bit cheaper than the other high street solicitors, but they will find any chances later to ask you to buy any insurances they can fit in. At the end, I was forced to paid £1056.80 in total, which they got commission of £388.80, comparing the total premium of £668 itself! To be honest, I am the third time buyer, apart from the Chancel indemnity which we usually need to buy, I never heard of the others.
Third, the communication was terrible. During the lockdown, Antonia worked from home, although I kept asking for the direct contact number just in case, but she insisted email only. It took days for her to respond my emails, even not respond at all. Thinking about that she dealed with my purchase with hundreds of thousands pounds, and I can not speak to her when I need to, what a shame!
Enough is enough. Even the estate agent added them to the blacklist, not allow to use them any more. If you are considering to use their service, think again!
