Shivum Shah - Superb
Thank you for acting on my behalf in the sale of Adams Cottage. The sale took longer than envisaged but I can only put this down to your professional thoroughness. I would certainly recommend Shivum Shah to act on my behalf again.

House Sale and Buy
After a previous house purchase attempt which unfortunately failed, Shivum at Alton came aboard and made sure that everything proceeded smoothly and quickly, dealing thoroughly with all the searches and queries. We have now moved in! Many thanks Shivum!

Very poor service indeed
We were referred to Bookers and Bolton by Lifetime Legal.
The process was difficult from the start. Shivam was rude, entitled and unhelpful. He was disorganised and did not send things in a timely manner, nor did he chase things in a timely manner. We were sent the same documents to sign countless times and they seemed to have little to no idea what had and hadn't been signed. We were told to drop the agreed price and that this was not optional, which was incorrect and the pressure applied was undue and not professional in the slightest. We had to endure countless and unnecessary hounding for documents already provided.
The whole experience was disheartening and we were getting very frustrated indeed. Then our purchasers became frustrated and pulled out of the purchase. No apology or regard was given for this.
As they had all the relevant information we foolishly decided to give them the opportunity to redeem themselves with the next purchaser. When the same mistakes began happening again and this was questioned, Shivan refused to acknowledge our concerns and refused to give the details of his superiors. He was rude and unhelpful and not at all understanding regarding the concerns we raised.
When this was questioned we received an email saying they were not continuing with the service.
When I tried to speak to them no one answered the phone. When I did eventually get to speak to Shivam he was rude, abrasive and quite frankly seemed to have an attitude problem and was not prepared to understand or listen to why I wanted to speak to someone regarding this.
I was refused a conversation with his manager.
The whole experience was appalling.
I would recommend anyone consoldering using this company to think again and will be taking further advice/action regarding this matter.

We are sorry that you have felt the need to leave such a review after we decided that we cannot act for you. Having looked at the matter we feel you have misunderstood the facts. We did offer to contact you yesterday at 4.30pm to discuss what you felt had gone wrong and you refused. It was nothing to do with us that your original buyer pulled out and the reason you were asked to complete new forms is that the original forms were completed on that sale over a year ago. Shivum's other reviews are outstanding and we have always found his work to be of excellent quality. Whilst we understand the frustrations of moving home can be challenging, we do our best to support clients through these difficulties. We are renowned for our support. We know it can be difficult when we decide that we cannot work with a client and so accept you feel the way you do and wish you every success with your new firm.

Excellent Solicitor, my go-to from now on
Despite how challenging and frustrating my sale has been, Shivum has been immensely supportive and professional throughout the process.
Shivum is quick to reply and easily accessible over the phone and has taken good care of my case.

Patience - Top Class Service
After selling just after Easter and 3 properties down due to sellers wasting time and actually not ready to move or properties not habitatable after survey report (please please carry out surveys) myself and my wife cannot fault the service of Dawn or Kate or even the entire team at Bookers & Bolten. They acted fast efficiently and kept us update the whole way even when the top part of chain announces a deadline due to mortgage offer expiring. Dawn and Kate made this happen - Dawn & Kate - THANK YOU your service was absolutely top notch, 1st Class we highly recommend Dawn, Kate and Team BAB.
