We had an amazing experience with Valerie Holmes. Our conveyancer Stephanie Boocock was incredible.
We had an extremely tight deadline that seemed impossible, in a market where your average house move seems to be >6 months. And yet Stephanie performed the miraculous and we moved in to our house in record time, beating the stamp duty deadline. She was extremely helpful and informative throughout the process, keeping us up to date with all news and providing us with all the tools we needed to get the move done swiftly. She fought for us, got all other parties moving quickly and was a pleasure to work with.
We can only recommend! Thank you very much, Stephanie.

Value for money?
The sales team were very good. Saul, my contact was exceptionally good at explaining how things worked and what my fees would be. After which the online system and identity process was very simple. However, after that, things didn’t go so smoothly. Clearly, this business is sell it cheap and stack it high, volume based conveyance. Most annoying was that an email was sent by my buyers solicitor which wasn’t read and was lost for 10 days which delayed my sale. The solicitor was very good and responded to my emails quickly but her assistant Aliayah? Was not so good.
As such I was financially put in an awkward position when my completion was delayed so my question is, was it value for money? I’m not so sure.

Simple property sale
Overall the experience was very good.
There was the right amount of communication from an early stage.
The professional fees charged were very competitive, and represent very good value for the level of service offered.

Competent, Methodical, and Professional
Thank you so much to you, Ms. Stephanie Boocock of Valerie Holmes Law for your hard work and professionalism in the purchase of my property. This wasn't a straight forward purchase but it was handled brilliantly by Ms. Boocock and Valerie Holmes Law. Nothing was too much trouble when I telephoned or emailed. All the employees that took my phone calls and responded to my emails did so in a very efficient and timely manner.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Valerie Holmes Law, in fact I highly recommend them. I found Stephanie to be friendly, efficient, diligent, and extremely thorough in her work. Thanks again so much - Leandro Romano

Thorough and knowledgeable albeit slightly slow
Overall very positive with good legal knowledge. Paid for expedited services which meant responses by next working day.

Incredible work, apart from one aspect...
Valerie Holmes Law were fantastic on so many levels. We went from offer to completion in 59 days, which is by far quicker than many people would experience. This was down to the hard work of everyone involved, even with our first assigned solicitor leaving the firm midway through the process. Every time something needed doing the firm acted clearly and helpfully.
Our only downside was the lack of responses at times. For instance, we completed two weeks ago today and besides being called to say we could pick up our keys, we've not had anything to confirm the process was complete. There were a few occasions where we were left waiting several days for responses. Whilst I appreciate the firm is busy, and their busyness is what helped us complete quickly, not having a response can often be very difficult to deal with as a first time buyer.
So a minor thing really, but on the whole, the firm was excellent and I'll definitely recommend.

Efficient, prompt and very good value
I have received excellent service from Valerie Holmes Law - from making my initial enquiries to performing and completing the work. Clear email instructions and prompt replies to any emails I sent. And all done for a very decent fee indeed. A winner in all respects! I would not hesitate to use this firm again.

Property Sale
Some early problems with communication, possibly due to their relocation, but once rectified they were excellent. Could not have asked for more. Quick, effective and pleasant to work with.
