Really poor service

Really poor. Called with an urgent probate issue. Solicitor who took the call was very helpful, but he was conveyancing - so passed details to a probate colleague. A junior from the probate office then called to stress how busy her "boss" was and generally had a dismissive attitude. She was a blocker. Found constructive legal help elsewhere.

First Home - Thank you Lauren!

We used GloverPriest Solicitors for purchasing our first property and couldn't be happier with the service they provided. Lauren Hands was absolutely brilliant and a pleasure to deal with. Lauren made the entire process so easy to get through given that the property was going through probate and things took a while to complete. We always felt that we were informed on every single step and would 100% recommend anyone to use Glover Priest as a conveyancer!

Look elsewhere

To all extents and purposes you really do get what you paid for when it comes to lawyers and solicitors when buying a house.

No claim can be better validated here. I chose GloverPriest because they were £500 cheaper than the next nearest competitor. At the time of signing trust pilot reviews were 4.2. Now 3.5 and quite rightly.

Listing the issues below - which are common amongst other reviews on trustpilot.

1. Complete lack of communication from your assigned solicitor (in my case VM). Always deflect phone calls to deputy/ paralegal JQ with no knowledge of your own development.
2. Huge delays in processing your application. They quote average turnaround time to exchange falls within national standards of 8-12 weeks. Mine took 6 months.
3. Lying - they repeatedly say the delays are your fault. Waiting for paperwork your end. Yet they usually have all the paperwork. Sit on it. And unless threatened with legal action act on it. One example included copies of my passport. The second example was sitting on my notice for completion.
4. Miss key information. My contract had a schematic of a completely different property on it. This was changed after I had highlighted the inaccuracy. It does make you question how scrupulous the contract has been looked over if they don't even pick up the wrong development has been included in the contract! A further example was cladding. Despite me asking relevant questions regarding no cladding in the property GP failed to interrogate the service charges and question the legality of key points before it was too late. What they prefer doing is writing a copy and paste message from the counterparty solicitor without offering advice on their own accord. This was a common theme throughout.

In the end. I was doing the chasing, critically appraising the contract and liasing with the developers myself with the mortgage brokers help. All with 3000 down the drain despite playing the solicitors role.

If you are reading this. Please don't make my mistake and pay that little bit extra to go with a more reputable firm.

Repeat custom

This isn't the first time we've used Glover Priest based on our positive experience. From start to finish this process was stress free, professional, friendly and our calls/emails always answered. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend GP to others. Thank you Lauren and team.

I cannot recommend Lauren enough

I cannot recommend Lauren enough! Both her and her Team worked tirelessly for us, nothing was too much trouble and she really treated us both as clients. We were recommended to use Lauren and it was the best money we spent!! Thanks Lauren, superb service.

First class service once again

Once again guided me through the process of buying a buy to let property expertly. Clearly explained the order of things, First class communications and easy to understand for the lay person. I would not use anyone else for property transactions. These guys know their stuff. Top marks from me.
