Potential Customer's should read this...
My name is Greg McAllen. I am the proprietor, along with my Wife, of a small business based in Rutland. We have been continuously trading since 1981.
Now I know this is a long review, and long reviews can be boring, but before using this company, you should be aware of how they can behave if things don't go their way and their client upsets them.
In December 2023, my wife and myself viewed a property for sale and agreed with the owner to purchase. It was a straight forward sale with no loans or mortgage. Part funding was to come from the sale of one of our three industrial units, one of which is solely owned, and used by us privately. The remaining balance to come from our Barclays savings account. I had sold the industrial unit, freehold, to the owner of another neighbouring business on our industrial estate. It was a straight forward sale without involving the services of a solicitor or estate agent. There was a wait on our buyers part, due to a Land Registry issue, our buyers funds coming to us from the Halifax. In the meantime, I looked to engage the services of a conveyancer as our deal was done and just waiting for the funds to land in our account. Normally, I would use my usual solicitor, who is not local, which meant travelling the A1, in the middle of winter, just to sign a few documents. We did not want to do this. We therefore decided to use the services of Hegarty, local to us in Oakham. Additionally, my Daughter has friends working for their Stamford office. Having obtained a quotation of £1650, which I thought reasonable, we made a trip to their office in Oakham. All went well until, on being asked where the funds for a cash property purchased had come from, and I informed them they were from the sale of an industrial unit. They asked the solicitors name who dealt with this, and the name of the estate agent. When we informed them we had not engaged the services of either, their attitude changed, along with the facial expressions. It was not nice at all. I was faced with accusations of money laundering, which where thrown at us on many occasions over the following weeks. Now, I understand solicitors have to cover themselves, but we were dealing through Barclays Bank and electronic transfers, all of which have a paper trail. The Bank have their own policies to prevent money laundering and if the money was not from a legitimate source, it would not be in there. We both felt the solicitor and case handler were unhelpful, bordering obstructive. It was like we were being treated as criminals, and paying for the privilege. Finally, having formed a distrust of this Lady, I agreed with the seller to pay him directly. I did not feel I should transfer our savings to Hegarty and trust this solicitor with control of our lives. We had a very bad feeling this solicitor may delay the purchase, possibly losing us the property. The payment was made to the seller, via CHAPS transfer from our Barclays account. Oddly, we received an email from them, telling us we cannot do this, not advising us against it, or giving reason why we shouldn't, just telling us we could not. Not once did we receive any communication from this Lady that could be construed as advice. Therefore on the 22nd April, with the sellers agreement, we transferred the funds, both signed a document stating what the money was for and the terms we had agreed between us, and in two days we moved into the property. Result. This just left formal completion. At this point I advised Hegartys of the situation, via email, and asked them to continue to completion and transfer. I finally received a reply yesterday saying they were no longer working for us. I had already learnt this, receiving a phone call from the seller, saying HIS solicitor had been contacted by Hegartys to be told they no longer worked for us. Additionally, Hegartys contacted the estate agent and informed them that myself and my wife were laundering money. Now that is one hell of an accusation, based on a unfounded suspicion without evidence. But to relay a suspicion to an estate agent in the form of an accusation, not even one of their own profession, is very naughty indeed and indicates to us we were correct in not placing trust, and our funds, with this solicitor. This action was just vindictive and unprofessional attempting to cause trouble and halt the sale even though POST-stating they no longer working for us. We have not received any further communication.
My advice to others considering using Hegarty is be careful as this particular solicitor cannot be trusted if scorned. Certainly do not divulge any sensitive information or information you wish to remain private as she may use it to support her own stance, additionally making up stories as she goes along to fill in the gaps, particularly if you do not do as you are told! MAD!

We can assure you that any enquiries made during the course of any client matter are made solely in line with our legal and professional duty to carry out appropriate checks.
We understand that you were unhappy with how matters progressed, and we are sorry to hear that you felt our service did not meet your expectations. However, in any client matter, if we do not have sufficient evidence to satisfy these checks, we are prohibited from proceeding with the transaction in accordance with the legislation set out above. If a client chose to proceed with a transaction outside of our engagement, in line with our regulatory duties, we will inform the relevant parties that we are no longer acting on that client’s behalf.
If you would like to discuss your concerns in a more appropriate setting, we would be happy to address them directly with you.

I would recommend Hegarty Solicitors.
A difficult and unusual case offered to Hegarty that involved track and trace of two people who benefitted financially. I was kept up to date all the way through with every detail taken care between courts and land registry. I would recommend Hegarty Solicitors.

Amazing support throughout
Andrew helped us with everything and as first time buyers it was very much needed. He helped when the developers wanted a quicker sale and dealt with their tantrums and demands.
We went from offer to moving in within 4 weeks which would have been a lot more stressful if not for Andrew.
