I was recommended Spicketts Battrick for a first time home purchase, through my estate agent Peter Alan. Their quote was roughly in line with the market rate. I believe the sale was relatively straightforward (no chain), but I was very pleased with the service. I was primarily in contact with Amy Ralph, but also spoke to Leanne Davies and Samantha Manuel. I found them to be quick to respond to my emails and happy to explain any questions I had. The sale went through without a hitch and I would happily recommend their services.
Cheers

Marie, Yvonne, Adam and Helen in your Pontypridd office were all excellent. They dealt with our house purchase very efficiently and professionally. Any queries raised were promptly replied to and they made them easy to understand. As first time buyers they made the process as stress free as possible and we felt they were always available if we had any questions or concerns. We would highly recommend Marie and her team and will use their services again in future if needed.

This conveyancer was a complete menace. Emails went unanswered for weeks at a time and now my sale has collapsed. Despite all attempts to progress the property sale for the buyer and lender Sarah would ask the same questions time and again. My solicitor told me that she found it hard getting Sarah to understand the basics of her own role.
If you value your sanity, wish to sell your property and not lose money, then avoid this firm. I have lost my sale and thousands of pounds because of Sarah Tyrrell.

Our buyer is using these solicitors and the chain is danger of collapse due to the lack of competence here. The solicitor is asking the same questions on repeat even though everything she is asking for was sent time and again months ago. She is not contactable by phone, is brief to the point of rudeness in emails. This process should have completed at least a month ago, but we are very afraid that the chain is going to collapse with us and everyone else having lost thousands.

John Allison was the man used by our purchaser. He was rude to everyone who spoke to him, we were purchasing a new build and took a substantial drop on our asking price on the proviso we worked really fast at getting the sale through. Mr Allison would make comments like “don’t hold a gun to me head” and “I’m not working to your ridiculous timelines”. Subsequently, we lost the house we were buying in the February. The company we were buying from refused to give us any money back so we lost approximately £7k, including the our solicitors costs for the house we lost. We then had to start again, in the end our buyers mortgage offer was running out so we had to move out of our home and are now “sofa surfing”. There were two people in the chain, us and our buyer, that was it. They were buying our property to rent out.
I don’t know about this company as a whole but this man has literally cost us thousands.
Appealed I have to put any star rating on here! 1 star is 1 too many!

cant really say i've had much of a service, mostly i'm expected to baby them, sent them bank statements but couldnt print them so i had to drop them off, Charge deeds I had not properly signed but followed the instructions in the letter they sent me, try ringing the office but very rarely get a answer, emailed me constantly about getting documents certified even though i replied a month before stating they are from the banking app and the branch does not offer certification.

They have been professional but always personable and allowed me the time to explain points when I wasn’t sure of legal jargon. I have already passed their details on to my daughter who is using Sam at present, that surely shows what confidence I have in these girls.

The service I have received from this company is appalling. They were appointed on 17th September 2018 to deal with the sale of my late mothers property. Almost 8 months on contracts have not been exchanged or a completion date confirmed. During this time I have sent over 40 e mails, the majority of which I have not received a response to. There was an issue with a lease referred to on the title deeds of the property which I have resolved with land registry myself,due to ongoing delays. In desperation I sent a formal letter of complaint to them on Monday which they haven’t even had the courtesy to acknowledge. I have been left with no alternative but to refer to the ombudsman. Their delays have caused further upset to my family and I following my mothers death which prompted the sale.

We were buying a property and the seller used these solicitors. They were terrible. They tried to put pressure on us to complete even though all the paperwork was not inplace and they did not responded to our solicitors queries or supplied the correct documentation. It proved to be a very stressful experience for what should have been a very straight forward sale. I would not reccomend using these solicitors if you are buying or selling a property.

I know people who sold their house a month after us and have already moved in. We have yet to even exchange contracts. Even the senior partner is shocking. No called are ever returned.
Spare yourself the tread and not use this appalling firm. They are selling a non-existent Service. Wish there was something I could do about if!

Do not use Spicketts Batterick, they do not reply to emails or pick up phone calls. This has been a terrible experience.

we used this Solicitors as recommended by our Estate Agents as they have ties with them,
we were told to book a van for the completion day when only 3 out of the 4 parties were ready to proceed !!
on their say we paid a deposit of £400 for a removal van and lost £200 ,we got the other £200 back from the estate agent who felt embarased by the whole situation, they denied it all and the director wasn't interested
in our loss , use at your own peril!!!!!!!!!!

DO NOT USE THIS FIRM. they take their own sweet time to do anything. We were supposed to exchange today but the buyers solicitor (Spicketts and Battrick) was only reviewing the file. We sold 5 months ago. PULL your FINGER OUT!

I haven't had a worse experience in my life with a solicitor. I CAN NOT recommend these solicitors
They took TWICE as long to sell the same flat than it took when bought 6 months earlier, both simple no chain, cash buyers. The only difference was the solicitors!
They are unresponsive, did not reply to questions within their own published promised timescales.
I had to do most of the chasing for them, as they seemed incapable of picking up a phone or sending an email, seemed to still be working in the 19th century, sending letters and waiting for a response, never wondering why they hadn't.
My recommendation is to use someone/anyone else
