Lings Solicitors

Used Lings solicitors for my property purchase back a few months ago. Staff were friendly and attentive.
Prices were fair, it was difficult to get to speak to main solictor at points but you get that anywhere you go due to their work loads.
Attempted to use again recently for property sale and purchase but they were unfortunately at full capacity. Such a shame !

Incompetent solicitors. Avoid at all costs. Appalling handling of my mother’s will. Constant mistakes and chasing needed. Unprofessional and unrepentant despite continuously slack service going to ombudsman as was overcharged and incurred unnecessary costs due to them (despite their believe otherwise) but clear proof to show this.

Great service, professional and prompt. Very clear advice and friendly staff and loved meeting Jess the dog! Thank you, highly recommend

NEGLIGENT DO NOT USE

This firm supposedley completed and I paid all their fees at the end of August 2021, for purchase of a residential property.. Over a year later I still had had no confirmation from the Land Registry. |In August 2022 I contacted them myself to discover my application for my name to be registered on the property I had brought had been cancelled, because Lings had failed to completed and return relevant paperwork.

This meant for several weeks the property was open to fraudulent activity as no owner was registered or paperwork pending. When I telephoned Lings noone knew about or was aware of the situation.

I have asked for a refund of some sort of the fee, but have had no reply for such shoddy service.. I was also charged an additional fee for added security, but cannot find out exactly what this fee covers, or why I was charged more.

E mails are not answered and it is nearly impossible to speak to the solicitor Phillip Hodges in person.

I cannot even begin to describe the worry and frustration of attempting to communicate with this company.

I feel RIPPED OFF AND AM STILL WATING FOR AN ANSWER TO AN EMAIL SENT A WEEK AGO.

Awful and incompetent Solicitors. They have not responded to calls or emails and 10 months down the line of attempting to buy a property and they are still fluffing it. I too will be contacting the Ombudsmen regarding their service.

Very supportive advice and commitment, I have used Lings for a few things now. When I was daunted by complex legal processes, they put me at ease and saw things through to a good resolution.

Having been advised to update our Wills we approached Lings as being a local firm. From the warm and efficient greeting from those in the outer office to personal appointments with Carla Campbell everything was carefully explained and we were delighted with the service. Many thanks.

Lings have been super efficient and so helpful with dealing with a difficult time in selling a property. Nothing was too much trouble for any member of staff at any time ..Im very grateful for how they dealt with the process . I would recommend them highly.
