I would not recommend as a first time buyer

I purchased my first home through this company and I have to say I would not recommend at all! Poor communication, added stress as the solicitor left and they did not reallocate quickly (4 weeks later), incorrect billing, what they estimated at the start was incorrect and final bill was over double +. Not supportive of first time buyers as they did not talk your through the process. Poor service and added stress which you don’t need. Ruined my experience of buying my first house!

Would not recomment!! Use anyone else!!!

I would never use this company again, communication was terrible and they have come back demanding additional payment over 10 months after completion, I was never told about additional fees and they ignored my emails for 6 months when questioning it to then come back and ignore my questions and just ask for money.

Terrible service

Terrible service with zero communication. The only email I received was about payment, and when I replied with a question, I never got a response. Extremely frustrating experience.

Sale of our Bristol house

We sold our house via the Conveyancing Team in Albany Road, Elsa-Marie Escorcio and her team. They were extremely efficient, easy to get hold of and very effective in sorting out issues.
Highly recommended - we will be using them for any future sales or purchases!

Excellent and Friendly Service

Excellent, informative and friendly solicitors. While my house buying process was by no means smooth, it had nothing to do with Spicketts Battrick. Samantha my Solicitor was always in my corner, keeping me in the loop and advising me on how to proceed. They were always quick to loop me in with relevant information. Would 100% recommend using their conveyancing services!

Marie, Adam, Yvonne & Helen.
What a brilliant conveyancing team!
We have used Spicketts Battrick twice in the past year. Each time they have been outstanding, going above and beyond for both purchases.
Any queries were dealt with efficiently and professionally making our lives stress free during these worrying times.
Would have no hesitation in highly recommending this amazing team!
Keep up the good work guys!!

Terrible Service - Avoid

Please keep trying to 'flag' my review to get it removed and I will keep adding it back on here. I'll happily come on here every day to add a review. A whole chain collapsed after 6 months because of your terrible service. You cost all parties involved thousands. This solicitor gets 'recommended' by estate agents because they pay commission for the recommendation. Avoid if you want your sale or purchase to actually go through!!

Avoid like the plague

They keep getting their negative reviews removed by claiming it's breaching data protection when someone writes any personal information. So I won't name anyone.
This solicitor is a shambles. After 6 months of these guys doing literally nothing our chain collapsed today. They've cost all parties involved thousands of pounds each. They pay commission to estate agents which is why your estate agent will 'recommend' them. They take your money then just ignore all communication. Avoid like the plague

Terrible solicitors- AVOID

Terrible solicitors-avoid.
These solicitors were used by my buyers. They were very rude to my solicitor ( I have seen the emails). They did not return any calls when I tried to speak to them, I left several voice messages. They were slow to respond to my solicitor and created an insurance which was not required. They seam unable to execute a smooth, stress free house sale. My buyers said they wish they hadn’t instructed them.

Absolutely dreadful

Absolutely dreadful. Took 6 months, nearly lost my buyers and the property I was purchasing. Solicitor promised everything would be sorted by the Monday and then left the company the Friday before. Didn't even say someone else would be handling my case. Had trouble trying to get information . Have used this company a few times in the past 40 years for house sales. Something's gone dreadfully wrong. Would never use again .

Excellent service

This is the second time I have used the Cardiff branch of Spicketts Battrick law practice in the sale of a property. They came highly recommended and have not disappointed. Both times I have dealt with Elsa who is so responsive and efficient. Elsa, Muriel and Sharon make a fab, friendly team which I would definitely recommend.
