Do not use - System does not work
Do not use! - Poor service at a premium price!
This service requires the vast majority of work to be completed by yourself on a web portal. You complete the details then the system automatically creates legal docs for you to sign - sounds good in theory but sadly it doesn’t work. Often documents uploaded show as blank pages and you’re usually unsure what documents are required unless you’re a legal professional. There is a mobile app but it’s far too clunky and poorly designed to use.
We used Premier Property Lawyers for sale and purchase. There was no benefit to using them for both as several of the fees were duplicated, for example, ID checks and case opening fees were charged twice. We were quoted £3.5k and after additional fees it was almost £5k total. Some fees such as “third-party portal fee” where the solicitor needs to access a portal were extortionate at £350, despite being a simple task.
The solicitors assigned to our case were friendly but seemed to be far too busy. Rarely available to call, missing or duplicating requests and forgetting what they’d told us on the phone. We would receive emails late at night, again demonstrating how overworked they were.
Finally and most severely, Premier Property Lawyers did not complete all documentation required by our previous management company and left us liable for a monthly maintenance fee at our previous address. Now the completion date has passed, they are no longer responding to us so we have to pay the fee.
