Kim Taylor at the Honley office was fantastic!

Kim Taylor at the Honley office has been absolutely fantastic throughout the sale process for our late mum’s house. It was not an easy journey, due to a number of stumbling blocks, but the care, empathy, expertise and commitment Kim provided really made the difference in what at times was a very emotional process for us. We wouldn’t have wanted anyone else by our side on this and honestly can’t recommend Kim enough. Thank you

Thank you so much for your heartfelt review Katie.

We’re truly grateful for your kind words and are so pleased that Kim at our Honley office was able to support you through such a difficult and emotional time. Selling a loved one’s home is never easy, and we’re honoured to have been by your side throughout the process.

Kim’s care, empathy, and dedication are exactly what we strive for at Open Law, and it means a great deal to know that her support made a difference. We’ll be sure to pass on your lovely feedback to Kim and we know it will mean the world to her.

If you ever need assistance in the future, whether with property matters or something like setting up a will, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re always here to help.

Warmest wishes,

From the Team at Open Law

Thank you so much for your kind feedback Richard!

We're really pleased to hear that you felt supported throughout the conveyancing process. Our team works hard to ensure everything runs smoothly, so it’s lovely to know that made a difference.

We’re looking forward to working with you again when the time comes!

And just as a helpful note, if your property transaction has resulted in any changes to your assets, it might be a good time to consider setting up or updating your will. We offer a straightforward wills service and would be happy to help with that too.

Thanks again for choosing Open Law!

Sale and Purchase

Kim and team were exceptional throughout our purchase, being patient and pragmatic through a sale made all the more complicated by a 'challenging' solicitor down the chain. Fees were reasonable and clear with no hidden surprises. Would definitely use again although hope not to have to!

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're delighted to hear that Kim and the team were able to guide you through a challenging sale with patience and pragmatism. It’s always our goal to make the process as smooth and transparent as possible, so we're glad our fees and service met your expectations.

While we completely understand your hope not to go through another move anytime soon, we’d be more than happy to assist again if needed. And on that note, with any change in assets, such as a property purchase, we always recommend reviewing or setting up a will to ensure everything is protected and clearly outlined for the future. If that’s something you’d like help with, our team would be happy to guide you through the process.

Thank you once again for choosing Open Law and weyou all the best in your new home!

Like getting blood from a stone

Like getting blood from a stone. Do not respond to emails or phone calls. How they are still operating I have no idea. I think they give a huge chunk of commission to estate agents who recommend them. So many people have had purchases and sales fall through because of these cowboys

Kim and her team were helpful in moving my sale and completing in a reasonably quick timescale (buyers needs were urgent) I didnt like the thirdfort identity check process I thought it was too intrusive for a sale. I would have preferred to fill in the many forms manually which would have allowed for comments and explanations making it easier. Phone was always answered and the team got back to you.

Not an enjoyable experience

At the beginning I was happy with the support from Open Law. Team was willing to listen and engage.
However, I found myself losing confidence and at times patience with Open Law.
At times I felt like I needed to know the 'Art of Law' regarding house moving and have the knowledge to understand. This is despite me telling the Team on MULTIPLE occasions that they need to be a bit more clear to someone who may not understand the process well.
I believe the team at Open Law can learn more about effective communication and person centred supported. At one stage I was told I was not a priority as other clients needed to get their deals in place to avoid increase in stamp duty. I did not appreciate being told I was not a priority.
The entire process with Open Law did leave a bitter taste in my mouth despite a good early start with them.
I only chose Open Law as they were recommended to me.
I hate to leave a negative comment but I feel critical feedback needs to be given.
Advice - active listening, effective communication and person centred training is required for the team at Open Law.

Great solicitors

Really good experience, the solicitors were all very on it and made a lot of progress without our input. Thank you very much. My only slight comment would be it would have been nice to have an online portal type thing where we could see what stage we were at the process, saving us clogging up the email inbox with update requests.

I am so glad that we had Open Law…to do the sale of our property

I am so glad that we had Open Law dealing with the sale of our property. From Hollies team at the beginning , to Kim’s team I have found them very friendly and helpful. Thank you to Linzi on Kim’s team who I have had more to deal with over the last few months, who was very supportive, and very helpful. I know the sale has not been the easiest, but I am very grateful for you persevering with it all. Thank you to all once again in both teams.
