Divorce

27/04/18 - Reviewed by Karl Bigault
They have been dealing with my divorce now since November 2017, I have not heard back from them for over 6 weeks even though I was told they would be in touch 3 weeks ago. I have called the office and left messages now I find out the person who was dealing with my divorce left the company some weeks ago, I feel they are bad at communication and organisation along with being very slack at responding or returning phone calls. A shame to see such a great family company being run in to the ground by a team who appear not to care, this will be a great loss to Leigh On Sea but with the current lack of customer service it will be inevitable that this once great company will close.

I was sorry to read your review. I am limited as to what I can say online because we have duties of confidentiality. The person who left was a member of support staff, not the solicitor. There was a handover between the member of support staff who left and the person who has taken over; their role is simply as administrative support.
We updated you on your case, in writing, 4 weeks ago and explained that we were now waiting on a third party. You called today and we have tried to contact you on the number held on file several times but have not been able to get through. Please confirm if your number remains in service. I do not wish to say more online because of confidentiality but if you remain concerned, please do give me a call.

I first used this company 9 years ago and they were fab, not no more though. Poor service, lack of communication. Moved offices midway through and I wasn't even aware until I rocked up. Took forever and a day for a easy chain on a sale and purchase. Constantly chasing. Oh and check your final bill, they seem to change when you query. I would not recommend this company.

Absolutely horrendous service. Severely unprofessional. Don’t ever ever use them

Fast in taking payments, lack of action and unresponsive to telephone calls, almost 12 months and unable to finalize and close the account.

Secretary, I spoke to, had a degree in rudeness. I asked them to get Andrew Young to acknowledge receipt of some information many times, still no contact. Although they initially responded quickly, it seems they are only really interested in you if it is highly lucrative to them.

I was very sorry to read your comments. Your review is anonymous so I cannot identify you and as far as I know, you have not contacted anyone here to complain. If you would like to contact me on 01702 477106, I can look into this situation for you. I would like to know the name of the person you spoke to and what was said, so that I can speak to them. Please be assured that we aim to treat all our clients with respect, and efficiency, regardless of the fee they are paying.

I simply wanted some help with dealing with a property management company.
Initial response was good (when I was being offered non requested legal help with right to manage) but I explained that I am not in a current position to take that on.
After being then passed on to another colleague and emailing over the paperwork as asked, I heard nothing back despite numerous requests by phone and electronically.
Lastly,(as I did not ask her name) I don't know which of your secretaries I had a bad experience with.
Kind regards, David

Further to my original review.
Philip Giles was later good enough to arrange a free consultation with Emma who advised me regarding my problem.
Thank you,

My partner instructed the firm over four months ago and he is still waiting to exchange. It is extremely hard to get a hold of anybody in the firm who is actually aware of the transaction. Extremely disappointing service.
