A distinct lack of communication was prevelant all through the process. Terse one line responses from our solicitor boardering on rudeness. Anyone would think we were paying her and not the other way around .A shocking service and would advise anyone to go elsewhere. I'v moved house 4 times and never have I experienced such arrogance and rudeness from a so called professional.
A long drawn out affair and I'm glad it's over! I'd give zero stars if there was an option. I read some reviews half way through our buying process and it looks like things haven't changed much.
I wish I had found these solicitors before. For my house move and selling my late mother’s house.
They were helpful, understanding , quick and efficient.
Absolutely recommend this company.
Brilliant solicitors, never needed to chase them and were quick to reply and completele tasks. Information was easily understandable and would highly recommend them to others. We had Bryony and Rebecca and were both great
The process was very smooth and the app enables one to stay on top of requirements. Many thanks.
I contacted Chadwick Laurence for buying my first property , I was unsure how it all worked but from start to finish they guided me through the process and I can’t praise them enough for there help and hard work.
I would highly recommend using them in the future.

At the moment ill give them 1 star as it's going very slow they do not update you at all the only times they will message you is to let you know there's an extra cost that's pretty much the only time youll communication.they do not up date you at all there excuse is they are busy witch I completely understand and they have taken on new clients witch ain't my problem if you can't handle the work you have why take on more but if it weren't so close to finish I would have changed solicitors I will not be using these ever again meant to me stress free and it's been far from if you like not knowing what's going on and dont want update then this is the company for you ive rang and message many times and still no joy and the app they get you to download is no help they have only updated 1s and that was when we 1st started now 4 months in and the app says I'm still at the earliest stage even tho we're near enough at exchange of contact

Bizarre experience, and not in a good way. Recovered from 1 star as ZH took over our case and we completed at 12 weeks. If I wasn't contacting them daily it would have taken a year, trust me they are in no hurry. These lot are generally incompetent and unprofessional, they don't respond to complaints, requests for updates, or anything else. They certainly don't care about your situation, in fact they made the whole process very stressful when it was a straight forward cash sale. I think (some of) the conveyancers do their best but the seniors/partners couldn't give a dam. No one holds any accountability for mistakes or delays either. I'm just relieved it's over.

We cannot thank Lynda Harland enough who was our allocated solicitor for handling the sale of our property. We had great and prompt communication via the app and email. Lynda was really proactive and managed to keep the sale on track when at times it looked like there was going to be lengthy delays. Lynda was always available to answer any queries we had. Great to deal with directly. Thanks again Lynda!

I wouldn’t recommend this firm to anyone. Ben Starkey is by far the slowest solicitor we’ve dealt with in over 20 years of trading. When he went on holiday, no one took over his work, and the entire sale came to a standstill. Eventually, Ahmed Elgizouli was said to be covering for him, but he was completely unresponsive and did nothing. Extremely slow service — definitely wouldn’t recommend.

Amanda, Binish, Katherine superstars with helping me each step of the way answering any questions I had and going the extra mile.

Highly recommend

We asked Chadwick to help us with our personal property purchase. Our experience was, unfortunately, not very positive. Neither our allocated solicitor or his seniors responded to multiple attempts in contacting them via phone or email. Their assistant solicitor was, however, amazing helping me to close my file and moving to another company. We lost one month on our transaction.

My husband and I have had the worst experience with this law firm. I cannot even begin to describe the kind of trauma their slow response and lack of professionalism has caused us. They require 3 days to read an email and before they get anything done the entire week is gone. If you ask them to do it fast they ask you for extra £300 for every time you need an update on your file. Wasted four months on a sale that was without chain . The complaint procedure is literally non-existent, no one listens to you. We asked our file be transferred to a different solicitor but nothing was done. Everyone we have told about our experience is appalled of what we went through. Even after pulling out and paying for the work that wasn’t done, we requested they provide invoices for payments made on our behalf and explain why sale fell through so we could claim insurance, they are still asking for an entire week. So much bad experiences than I can type.

The app was really easy to use. The company were really quick and efficient at processing our re-mortgage. Any queries were answered within an hour through the app. They were easily the most efficient solicitors I have ever used and I would definitely recommend them.

I would strongly advise anyone against instructing Chadwick Lawrence Solicitors, in particular a solicitor (initials KM), for conveyancing matters.
We have been involved in a property transaction with them that has now dragged on for ten months – despite the property being completely chain-free. This delay is solely down to the conduct of the acting solicitor.
KM’s communication has been appalling throughout. She is impossible to get hold of, rarely responds to calls or emails, and when she does, the updates are vague, unhelpful, or contradictory. Her lack of engagement has been frustrating not only for us but also for her own client, the buyer, who has been left in the dark.
The way this case has been handled is nothing short of unprofessional and has caused unnecessary stress and delay for all parties involved. It is clear to me that this firm has little regard for efficiency, accountability, or basic client service.
If you are considering using Chadwick Lawrence for conveyancing, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere. There are far more competent, communicative, and professional solicitors out there who won’t leave you stuck in a never-ending transaction.
