Avoid this firm if you value your time and energy. We engaged them in early January and initially communication was fine. After submitting all requested documents, we even had to chase to confirm receipt, only to be told later that our emails had gone to their junk folder, despite recent active email conversations.
We were assured they were happy to act, even with an overseas buyer. The mandate was submitted on 23 January, and the last response we received was on 26 January. From 30 January onwards, we followed up multiple times and received no updates at all.
After weeks of silence, we were finally informed that they could not proceed due to AML concerns relating to source of funds. This was extremely frustrating, as apart from bank statements, no further documents were ever requested. We were told additional documents such as gift letters might be required, yet these were never asked for before the matter was dropped.
Phone calls were equally unhelpful, we were repeatedly told the solicitor was unavailable and would call back, which never happened. No one is forced to act as our solicitor, but a simple update during those weeks would have saved us a significant amount of time & allowed us to approach another firm sooner. The most disappointing part is that despite us being the paying client, we were the ones constantly chasing for updates.
Overall, very poor communication and a disappointing experience.... Read more
