APL Advantage Property Lawyers

"STAY CLEAR!! THEY WILL SLOW YOUR HOUSE MOVE DOWN BY MONTHS!! The seller I’m buying my house from is using this Company. It took them two and a half months to send back replies to my Solicitors. Now we are trying to complete and the owner has accepted my date two weeks ago. APL still haven’t sent the confirmation to my Solicitors so I can’t book a removal company. I will struggle to find one at short notice so the completion date might have to be moved. Then we are in a cycle of late responses and short notices. Horrendous service on their part. My Solicitors reply to any of my questions within 24 hours. That’s how a business should be run."

"I had a good experience using APL, Joanne Murphy explained every step to me which was very appreciated as a first time buyer. She made the process stress free and quick. The online app was also very useful to see progress on completion etc. I would recommend."

"We had a terrible experience with APL when we were buying our house at the end of 2020. Impossible to get hold of anyone from our team, never on the phone and when emailed would take as long as a week to reply. We would also not make progress on our case for days or weeks at a time. We were first time buyers purchasing a property with no chain so it could not have been more straight forward but it moved at a snails pace. We had the seller’s solicitors letting us know they may have to back out of the purchase which was incredibly stressful. We put this behind us as we were so relieved to finally complete a week before Christmas and not have to drag it into the new year. However, we now are renewing our mortgage as the 2 year fixed rate is coming to an end and we have had to approach APL for some documents that they have from our purchase in 2020. Again, it is still impossible to get in contact with anyone who can directly help and a week later we are no closer to obtaining them and we have resigned to the fact we probably never will. It is so incredibly difficult to get a simple thing achieved by APL and this has reminded us of how awful our experience was as first time buyers. We hope we can sort our documents elsewhere and never have to approach APL for anything again as it is just abysmal service every time."

"We have not long completed on our property, although the purchase took 6 months and was fairly stressful (reasons because of the other side not APL Lawyers), Joanne Murphy was absolutely amazing. She had us ready to go 3 months before we completed - kept us up to date at every point and chased as much as we asked her to. Nothing was too much, we felt like she really had our backs and wanted this purchase to complete just as quickly and smoothly as we did. I would definitely return because of Joanne when we come to sell our house. Thank you Joanne you are one of a kind!"

"APL was recommended to me by my mortgage advisor and I went with the recommendation. I think that was the worst decision I made during my entire property purchase process. It is so difficult to get a simple update or even get in touch with someone. Callbacks are promised but, as I write this review, I am still waiting. The entire process with APL has been so stressful. Highly not recommended."
