Conveyancing is appauling.
Eaton Smith are the least responsive solicitors I've ever had the displeasure of coming across in 10 x purchases. In 3 days it will be 6 weeks waiting for a reply to basic queries (Eaton Smith represent my vendor). They took 2 months to forward the information pack (a pack that was already prepared from a previous purchaser who, I've been informed, pulled out because of Eaton Smiths poor service!)
I'll update this review as it progresses.
If this continues I'll be pulling out (unless the vendor uses a different solicitor - whom is NOT Eaton Smith!)

Chris came recommended from friends who had used him for moves in different areas some with quite complicated purchases and I could see why, Chris is friendly and knowledgeable. Ours was a house move due to covid the process took longer than anticipated however Chris's expertise meant no delays from our side, his experience meant he could foresee possible issues and advise so that they could be addressed before they had any impact. Fully updated throughout the whole process and never needed to chase made the move seemless! Thank you.

The team at Ubisoft have always found Eaton Smith’s solicitors to be professional, efficient and precise in the commitment to the service we ask them to provide. Chris Taylor's attention to detail is exemplary, you could not ask for someone more dedicated to assist you in employment law matters than Kate Booth and Andrew Pedley has offered excellent advice and timely intervention in complicated negotiations. We would not hesitate in recommending Eaton Smith to others. Eaton Smith have represented the UK office of Ubisoft that operates in all Export and Middle east countries as well as the UK

I recently used Eaton Smith for domestic property conveyancing, but unfortunately the service was appalling.
I chose Eaton Smith to do the conveyancing as my own company had won the Eaton Smith business of the month award previously and was runner up in business of the year. Their organisation of this event was second to none, so I assumed the conducting of their own legal services would be run with equal commitment, professionalism and communication...sadly not.
I received the quote for conveyancing extremely quickly, but that's where the good service ended. Once I'd agreed to use

I was referred to this Company by YES Personal Inury. Matthew Dickerson dealt with the matter. The case was handled appalling from start to finish. The Physiotherapist they referred me to got critical information wrong. My telephone calls and emails went unanswered for over 3 weeks at a time. I was pressured into taking out an Insurance Policy that as it turns our would not cover me for any losses incurred anyway. I was then felt to feel as though my claim was "made up" and felt forced into accepting an offer of settlement. I was not supported by the firm whatsoever throughout the process. The
