Really great service in selling our house. Very professional service from all we had to talk to in what was a very testing time for us after two failed attempts to sell. Couldn’t be more helpful 😊

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Vicky Sumner at Optimal Solicitors was simply amazing.

I was initially very sceptical about using a remote conveyancing service versus the traditional local solicitor. What prompted me to look at this option was the potential value for money. I must admit to being very concerned about the level of service I might receive. On balance I decided to give it a go, and I am so glad that I did. Vicky Sumner at Optimal Solicitors was simply amazing. As soon as my case was opened Vicky called to introduce herself which was a really nice touch. Throughout the transaction her efficiency and responsiveness was second to none. Vicky made the whole process a real pleasure. Highly recommended.

I had a very good experience with Optimal Solicitors. My case was well managed by Matthew and I received professional support and great advice regarding my employment. Managed to get agreement with employer within 2 weeks. I was a bit sceptical if solicitor would help me but now I know it was very good decision to ask for professional advice. Highly recommend the company.

Laura is very professional

Laura is very professional, helpful and friendly. She is an excellent conveyancing solicitor, who has always kept me informed about the progress of my house sale and purchase. I would certainly recommend Optinal Solicitors and in particular Laura Shaw. Many thanks for your kind service.

Don't use this company!!

The service provided by Rafael, Paulina, and Shah in my car accident case was disappointing.
Their suggestion for me to cover my own expenses, the delayed submission of my case, the insufficient compensation, the high service fee, and the unexpected additional GP fees all contribute to a negative overall experience.
It is essential to seek legal professionals who prioritize their clients best interests and provide clear and transparent communication throughout the process.
Creating extra GP fees that you were unaware of and had to pay is highly unprofessional.
As a client, I have the right to be informed about any additional charges or fees that may arise during the course of the case. Their failure to disclose this information shows a lack of transparency and consideration for my financial well-being.
Moreover, their charging a 25% fee from their services seems excessive, especially considering the unsatisfactory outcome of the case.
Charging such a significant percentage without delivering the desired results adds insult to injury.
They advised me to spend my own money on physiotherapy and additional expenses without proper guidance or assistance.
As professionals handling my case, they should have informed me about potential costs and explored options for coverage or reimbursement.
It is frustrating to invest your personal funds only to find out later that the case was delayed to submit and leading to insufficient
compensation.
The lack of transparency and commitment is next level, they don't even bored to call or email me about any changes in the case, everytime I called them was always the same answer this person is on holidays/your case had moved to different person,after 2 YEAR they send me a final offer £299 when I spent over £800 in physio and orthers expenses that they advised me to do.
They didn't manage the reimbursed me anything £0,everything they promised wasn't true or right.

Anyway please don't use them. They're useless. You're better whitout them.

Very pleasant to deal and quick with replies. Only minor issue is that the conveyancing costs were a little higher than expected.

Dear Mr Lion, thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

I have taken a look into your comment regarding our fees and following a review, it appears the additional costs related to the fact that the property in question was a leasehold property and therefore, subject to additional payments to the landlord which we could not have included in our initial estimate. With any leasehold property, it is likely that further costs will apply and we cannot control that unfortunately.

I am however pleased that you were happy with the speed and efficiency of the transaction overall.

If you do wish to discuss the additional costs in more detail, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Many thanks

Recommended.

Was a little bit dubious about using a solicitor I found online, but I couldn’t find one that dealt with litigation in my local area.
I read the reviews on trustpilot and thought I’d give them a go.
The solicitor I used was a gentleman called Usman Anwar.
He sorted the problems I was having with a very unreasonable freeholder and I am 100 % pleased with the results.
Would definitely use them again.

We used Optimal Solicitors for our first house purchase

We used Optimal Solicitors for our house purchase, on recommendation from our mortgage advisor. We’re so happy we went with them - Caroline, our solicitor, was fantastic. We went through the whole process in about 7 weeks and Caroline kept us informed and answered our questions with ease, confidence and speed. It was our first house so we were unfamiliar with the process and Caroline signposted us and supported us with the process. Totally recommend them and we would get back in touch with Caroline if we wanted to move again!
