Do Not Use for Conveyancing!
Difficult to fully express my disappointment with the complete lack of organisation, co-ordination and communication from these guys when it comes to conveyancing. I would like to say they were just new and incompetent but apparently they are experienced so it must be negligence. Since starting a simple conveyance In JULY which had no chain at either end, they managed to exchange contracts at the start of DECEMBER then failed to complete on the arranged date leaving their customer subject to excess charges in interest for non-completion on time.

This outfit continually delayed proceedings building up ridiculous fees in the process! Wilkin Chapman Grimsby charged me £860 for writing 59 letters which generally duplicated adjournment dates that the court had already sent to me. Each time the case came to court it would be adjourned for dubious reasons such as they did not have the required info from the claimant & then charged me £125 for the pleasure. The case was delayed also due to covid & they again have billed me for these adjournments. I attempted to settle the matter several times to avoid these unnecessary costs & court time but

This company recently dealt with my personal injury claim, which was at the minor end of the scale. They acted on a "no win, no fee" basis, taking 25% of my damages as payment.
I get the impression that some law firms don't really want such work, but don't really want to refuse it either.
Having dealt with solicitors before, both from this company and elsewhere, two things were notable in my view.
They worked at a very impressive rate comparable to previous experiences. The case was conducted from initial contact to conclusion in less than 5 months.

I have been very impressed with Sally Wright of Wilkin Chapman LLP, who has helped me through to completion of a complex purchase lease option. She is highly profession, pragmatic, down to earth, responsive, and easy to talk to. She has come up with pragmatic solutions to address the concerns of the vendor's solicitor. I would strongly recommend Sally and will certainly be using her services in the future.

I phoned up to book a appointment with a solicitor first off the reception wasn't sure who to put me in touch with .when eventually she put me threw to someone the lady said nope not my department, I will ask about and get in touch this was Thursday.......not heard back . So maybe big companies just aren't that bothered. Now I am going with a smaller company who actually want work

I'm genuinely grateful to Sally Wright for her expert advice, careful attention to detail and unwavering patience. I got in touch with Sally when the opportunity came up to buy a neighbour's flat, a rental landlord who had been a source of problems for years. The sale dragged on for much longer than we'd been led to expect and my neighbour sprang plenty of unwelcome surprises. But Sally was professional, proactive, thorough and unfazed from start to finish. I would warmly recommend Sally and her team.
