Latimer Lee Solicitors Limited 35 Bury New Road, Prestwich, Manchester M25 9JY

"This Solicitor was superb, kept me fully in the loop at all times through our property purchase, he managed to find out facts regarding our purchase that were very important to me, and which might otherwise have been missed, this saved me money. Michael Barber was our Solicitor and we will certainly highly recommend him and will be using his services with any future sale or purchase."

"Gets better. When we sold out flat (details below) they missed information on the deeds that said we actually owed the flat next door. So we had to pay several hundreds to have further legal work done to rectify this when we sold They had a solicitor take our file home with him while he was taking two weeks off (but it was ok because his sister could bring it back in) data protection anyone? And they repeatedly got the price for all the work wrong (by hundreds) but fortunately we doubled checked it. We did send a letter of complaint. It got ignored. Latimer Lee. Shame on you. Debra Woods? She had to pick up the case from the previous fellow (Amir). Neither are bad people I’m sure but you didn’t follow up! Gutted. Stressed. Financially worse off. And ignored. I would never recommend this company. —— At the end of this review I said they resolved my latest issue (which had been going on for 6 weeks) within 48 hours of me chasing... well guess what? Today (almost 2 months later) I get an email from our managing agent chasing us telling us that Latimer Lee have not paid them and will be passing this on to their solicitor in the next 10 days to chase myself and my partner... who will incur legal charges as well. Let me say - appalling - once more. ------------- Appalling. We rented a flat and bought a nice flat in Brighton. We were repeatedly told we'd be exchanging next week, later this week, tomorrow... but no one ever came back to confirm. Turns out the vendors lost their property and the chain collapsed. We only found out by speaking to the vendor's estate agents. It's a sad state of affairs when the people you're told are sharks (ie. the vendors Estate Agents) are the only people you can trust. Anyway... vendors found a property and guess what? Told we'd be exchanging next week, later in the week... and so on. 50% truth and 50% lies. Took bang on 4 months in total which would've been ok had we been told the truth. Unfortunately we lived in a rented flat with a 6 month contract due to expire which put us under even more pressure. In the flat 3 months and we're told we owe a large amount of money to the managing agent. Not us... it was the old vendors account that hadn't been cleared. 6 weeks after raising this with Latimer Lee (on more than one occasion and being told it would be sorted) we get a phone call saying the managing agent will be taking legal action against us unless we clear the account and get it paid by the end of next week. Today I'm told this will be sorted and I'll be updated by the end of business tomorrow... fingers crossed! Don't use Latimer Lee - spend a bit more money and pick someone local that was recommended. The broker who recommended them was equally useless but that's another story : ) Professionals ain't professional. ------------------ Edit: "Today I'm told this will be sorted and I'll be updated by the end of business tomorrow... fingers crossed!" Just wanted to add that this pain in the backside that ran on for 6 weeks was resolved as promised by the end of business today. Credit for that."

"For a remote conveyancing service they are pretty good and did look after our best interest. They could make a few changes to help with their work load by updating the portal. The conveyancing process could be made easier by making it more structured and transparent but overall the service provided was good."

"My experience so far with Latimer Lee has been absolutely awful. I was told at the start of my case in March that this would be a straight forward process and shouldn't take long at all. 4 months down the line, and the service has gotten worse and worse and I and still waiting. Replies started off great and I was really impressed with the quick responses from my Solicitor Emma. However, in the last couple of months I have had virtually no reply, and if I do get a reply, I am only told "I'm chasing the sellers solicitor" I have now sent 4 emails in a row and waited a total of 10 days without a reply. I called earlier to complain and nobody was available to talk to me. What a surprise. Absolutely appalled at the service I have received. Have not even been told how much the service is costing in total regardless of my constant requests for an invoice. AVOID!"

"I recently used Latimer Lee Solictors to sell my home and purchase another property . Throughout my dealings with Debra , Rob and the admin staff ,I have found them to be patient, very helpful and understanding. Irrespective of the issues raised they dealt with all my enquiries professionally. I would highly recommend this company to family and friends, and would definitely use them again in the future.
