The only good thing they did was finally complete my property sale. I had to chase and chase multiple times with no emails being returned. I eventually escalated to the boss who delegated to new people. Outside of timescales, no communication, no customer care. I was very lucky I knew the buyer and he kept patience and also chased them from his side. I replied to the end of sale survey expecting some kind of apology or care call but nothing. So I thought maybe a review would help them take note before their office becomes another charity shop or coffee shop. Please choose wisely before spending

The bloke I spoke to was no help, arrogant in fact, my mother is in a home, gave her so called mate the bill and cash to pay with but pocketed the money now that's what you call a friend(not) so she got a threatening letter which I tried to pay in the end I paid it on line. No help what so ever and so arrogant it was amazing he must polish his ego most nights

Terrible service. They clearly take on a larger workload than they can handle and therefore the quality to the customer falls way short. I have been chasing for over 3 weeks for money owed to me and not surprisingly they remain unresponsive. It's almost like they're trying to keep the money in the hope I'll just go away. Disgusting. NEVER USE THIS FIRM!!!!!

These solicitors were involved in buying my house. While the process was smooth and I thank you for that, when it came to the bill at the end there was an extra £2,200 to pay on top of my quoted fee.
I fully acknowledge that these were disbursements and the costs needed to be incurred but my estimated quote that I was provided was inclusive of disbursements and still increased by this amount. I had never brought a house before and I had no idea what to expect and when you get hit with a bill the day before completion and told that I had to pay before the next day in order for the sale to be complete

Kavitha Rajah has been extremely professional throughout our entire purchasing experience. She is very personable and friendly, responding to email and phone calls very quickly. I have recommended her to my friends who are also first time buyers.

I only gave this one star but if I had more options I would give is minus 5*. Terrible solicitors. They contributed to the process that made this such a bad experience that I actually regretted purchasing a house. They lied about key facts of the contracts, make you pay way more than you should and charge you stupid amounts for things.
If you want slow service, incompetent staff and an inflated legal bill then Judge & Priestley are the solicitors for you!!
