4 reviews (1/5) and information for Austin & Carnley, Leighton Buzzard

I would not recommend anyone to go to this company of solicitors .. especially for probate wills, had a fantastic solicitor who had left and we had no knowledge of , and they have literally abandoned the estate when we should as beneficiaries receive what is owed to us. Appalling service and an attitude that is basically disdain.. not in the least professional and zero communication, you call you email you complain and absolutely nothing.. shocking service from a supposed professional advantage, please be aware as these are not friendly and not an ounce of integrity it seems, will now take this to Legal Ombudsman and also get another solicitor involved for withholding inheritance because they have not assigned the estate to anyone else other than trainees that are almost certainly on leave whenever you call, funny that, i believe they act underhand and motives that serve them only, i also believe the reviews on the website are misleading if not false.

We had a very negative experience of Austin & Carnley solicitors while buying a house in which they were representing the seller. We found them to be incredibly poor at communicating and we felt very out of the loop and unclear of what was happening as a result. They were very bad at responding to our solicitor and required multiple follow ups and interventions from our solicitor and the estate agents. They seemed very unknowledgeable and unprofessional, making simple mistakes such as adding our names incorrectly on contracts and larger ones such as not understanding how to appropriately approach land division. They caused us an enormous amount of unessessary stress and we would suggest thinking very carefully before being represented by them.

Terrible service. It took 15 months to get probate. They really dropped the ball but weren't prepared to admit it. We had a charge on our property which needed to be lifted and which they were supposedly working on for 15 months. We call Barclays and had the charge removed within 24 hours. We will never use them again.
