EDC Lord & Co Solicitors

"Excellent and efficient conveyancing firm! We used once before and are about to use them again in a property sale. Scott is brilliantly helpful and Kate gets the job done! Thanks to the Team at EDC for such excellent service."

"We had an incredibly stressful and disappointing experience with EDC Lord & Co while buying our first home. Communication was poor throughout the process, which meant we rarely knew what was going on or what was expected of us. Long periods of silence - with questions going unanswered - would be followed by a flurry of important documents being sent with no introduction or guidance, leaving us to guess our way through. Small mistakes, like document titles not matching between emails and systems, made this even more difficult. Due to EDC's poor time management, the end of the process (exchange and completion) was a stressful rush as, after months of hardly any updates or communication in which this could have been done, we were harangued to complete the anti-money laundering checks in an incredibly small window of time so that exchange could happen. This put us in a situation where we personally were being chased for updates by the estate agent and vendor's solicitor as they simply couldn't get hold of anybody at EDC Lord. Then, on the afternoon of agreed completion day, we received an email demanding we pay EDC Lord's fees immediately or completion couldn't go ahead. This made it feel like our completion was being held to ransom. To put the icing on the cake, we are now dealing with another mistake that has held up our first mortgage repayment. Any emails we sent during the process that highlighted our concerns with their work were, of course, roundly ignored. Needless to say, we would never even consider using EDC Lord & Co in future and I would never recommend them to anybody else."

"We used these Solicitors to help us buy our first home and they were extremely knowledgeable and thorough. We dealt with Abby Funnell who was exceptionally helpful and patient with us, there was a lot that we didn't understand but no question was too silly or task too great, she helped us secure a fast completion date when the sellers began to pressure us, and made sure everything was completed efficiently. Would definitely recommend."

"From beginning to end Emily at EDC Lord & Co Solicitors has been an absolute pleasure. I initially spoke with Emily following a referral. Emily was completely transparent, open and honest and very knowledgeable. Emily really took the time to explain the entire process clearly and concisely. Emily was great at working around my schedule to request all documents required with efficiency and professionalism due to my work commitments. Rhiann has also assisted with making my experience with EDC Lord & Co Solicitors as smooth as possible by always being contactable via phone or email. Keeping me updated at every step and really representing positive client services. I honestly can’t recommend Emily at EDC Lord & Co enough - if you want a stress free, efficient, professional and knowledgeable solicitor look no further. I’ll definitely refer Emily at EDC Lord & Co Solicitors to family, friends and colleagues."

"I would like to thank Emily and Rhiann for helping us buy our first home together. They were really quick and responsive in answering our calls and emails. The whole process from when we made our offer to completion only took under 2 months, thanks to them. They made the process of buying a house very simple and easy. If you are buying a home I would definitely recommend them. Amazing job guys thank you so much!"
