Recent House Purchase

Recent House Purchase

I contacted Pearson's for a recent house purchase and have to says the service provided was top notch!

My conveyancer Emma Collinson was really good during the whole process, as a first time buyer this process was all very new to me.

They were very thorough with the enquiries and the final report was very detailed and interesting to read through.

All in all 9/10, just want to end the review saying a big thank you to Emma and everyone who worked on my case for their efforts

Pearsons - Stay away - Very unprofessional organisation

I'd been recommended by my uncle, who had instructed this firm on a number of occassions, however, they were very slow to respond.

Once my offer was accepted, I contacted Pearsons's to get the ball moving and to obtain a quote for conveyancing - 3 weeks on - no response. Hence, I have decided to go with another firm who will value my business.

Very disappointed and would not recommend this firm at all.

No common courtesy whatsoever, to even acknowledge my emails!

Timely and Professional

Contacting Pearson (Jade Wood) and getting an appointment with the Contentious Probate Solicitor & Head of Inheritance and Will Disputes (Laura Pracy) was easy and straightforward. Laura was eager to provide services and prompt in sending an engagement letter. Her notes were accurate when capturing our difficult and complex international situation. While we ultimately chose a firm with extensive international experience, we appreciated their time and energy spent with us. Their communications were timely, cordial and professional. If we would need a solicitor in the future, Pearson would be our first contact.

Alan and Hannah worked tirelessly for us to gain a Protective Award after our employer did not give appropriate notice of redundancy due to complete liquidation and immediate termination June 2024. Once they had confirmation of the award and the necessary banking information from us payment was efficient and prompt. You do have to be patient during the early stages. I would recommend getting all ex colleagues together for a collective claim as this enables you to negotiate an improved fee/commission level.
