Excellent service

Regular, informed and timely updates on progress of both our sale and purchase. Excellent support and accessibility provided by our conveyancing solicitor Tom Mclaren-Roberts.

Terrible company, shocking communication

Our experience with Conveyancing Direct was a total letdown. It felt like we were completely in the dark, especially as first-time buyers, thanks to their lousy communication. Going through the complaints process, we were constantly brushed off, pretty much putting all of the blame on us for not magically understanding a process we hired them to guide us through. One of the most frustrating things was receving all of the crucial documents we needed, including the fixture and fittings form, DAYS before exchanging. Most of these documents were dated four months prior to this but apparently that's completely normal to be unaware of the details of the house you are buying until it's too late? I know solicitors are typically slow and require you to chase a lot, but when the company are failing to reply to complaints within their own 'prescribed time frame', you know something is wrong. And when they eventually did, they managed to send it to the wrong email addresses entirely - superb attention to detail. If you are purchasing through Connells and have been connected to this company, don't do it. Just Google a well-reviewed local solicitors and use them. Our sellers were also using Conveyancing Direct and we thought it would make the whole process smoother, but I don't think they were handled by the same office, let alone the same team/person. And if they were, I have absolutely no idea how they can manage it so poorly as the reason we were forced to exchange so quickly at the end of the process was due to how frustrated the seller was with them too. There's plenty more we could mention, but in short: avoid them at all costs. The endless bad reviews speak for themselves.

Little effort or care given

Very little Contact, I had to do all the chasing. I also had to pay to send all documents back (their £666 professional fees did not include a self addressed envelope to return documents with) Invoices that didn’t match, requiring me to unpick the numbers myself, including a final settled bill that was £170 less than what I actually paid them. For someone who is going through the daunting job of purchasing my first property, the lack of care or interest was disappointing. I was invoiced twice for stamp duty when my property purchase is exempt, and had a list of questions to ask about the legal jargon that took me chasing to get answered. I would not recommend this firm at all, as a “payment on completion” company, they just want to get your mortgage over the line with the least amount of effort as possible.
