Simply Conveyancing

1 YEAR and no Completion Date set!
Unfortunately, I've had many of the same negative experiences with Simply Conveyancing as others have mentioned here. What should have been a relatively simple purchase of a property has extended to almost a year of pointless back and forth with still no end in sight! I've had the same problem with Lawyers being assigned to my case then disappearing to go on 'Annual Leave' or just leaving the company outright. I'm on my 5th one right now. And as I'm dealing with someone different every couple of months the new lawyers are not as familiar with my case so I keep having to answer the same questions over and over which just wastes time. And replies to queries tend to take weeks to arrive as others have noted. I noticed a few people say that they added all kinds of extra charges to the bill which weren't discussed previously. Well I can now confirm this also, which is what prompted me to leave this review. At the beginning of the process I was informed I would have to pay the higher Stamp Duty Land Tax for my purchase. I agreed to this, and about 10 months later another lawyer is saying the same thing and added an additional £1000 to the bill! I asked them to check this as it had already been resolved and received no reply. All I see is charges going up and no progress being made. The Estate Agent lead me to believe that since this is the same company being used by the seller that this would speed up the process. On the contrary, it seems that this has lead to a lack of urgency getting the case completed. If anyone is considering using this company I would urge you to steer clear for the aforementioned reasons, and I will not be using them again myself.
