First time buyer

2

Whilst I am grateful to Apex Law for ensuring that I was able to complete the purchase on my property before the stamp duty law took into effect, this was a stressful process that was not made easy. Only reason I gave 2 stars but would have given 1.
I was initially assigned Shelsea Baldock as my solicitor. Initially, everything seemed to be going well with communication fairly good. I had put in an offer end of October and by November I had my mortgage offer come through and it was all looking positive. There was a tracker I could use to follow the progress of my purchase.
When it came to December, I heard nothing from Apex Law. My mortgage advisor assured me this sometimes happens were everything seems to progress quickly and you hit a quiet patch so I assumed this was normal. When it got to January and I hadn't heard from Apex Law, I emailed them and did not get a response. The sellers of the home I was purchasing were using Purple bricks as their agent so I could directly message the seller and vice versa. The seller started to message me enquiring on the progress but informed them I had not spoken or heard from Apex Law. My mortgage advisor who had recommended Apex Law reached out and that is when I got a response from the CEO, Phil May saying that the whole office had been down with the flu hence why I hadn't heard from anyone.
My mortgage advisor put in a formal complaint regarding Shelsea who had never responded to any emails and my case seemed to have been overtaken by Phil. I sent an email expressing my concerns about the stamp duty law changes and wanted to ensure that the purchase was completed prior to that and I had no response.
It got to a point were the seller's solicitors were not getting responses from Apex Law regarding searches on the house and the seller started messaging me wanting an update I could not provide as I myself could not get a hold of my own solicitors. Phil then stated that there had been delays caused by the sellers solicitors and that they were not being truthful which had resulted in the delays in the progress of purchase but not much in the way of assuring me their client.
My mortgage advisor then took her concerns to Curve conveyancers who had sub-contracted my case to Apex Law. It was only when Tracy from curve conveyancer got involved that this seemed to put a bit of pressure on getting updates which were often one sentence emails. My progress tracker was not getting updated and even after asking numerous times, I felt like I was bothering them when it was something that I the client had been asking.
By some miracle, I was able to complete. Even when doing the transfers of the deposit, I had to ask if they could confirm receipt as this was not something they felt they needed to communicate when for me, I needed the assurance that my life savings had gone through.
Overall, poor communication and customer services. I really wish I had read the reviews before accepting them to handle my case. I personally wouldn't recommend if you value your peace of mind.

how I reclaimed my investment funds

Recovering your lost bitcoin or funds as the case might be, is not what you can do alone, you’d require the service of a trained specialist. A recovery specialist is a person or a group of people who are well equipped to work around the crypto network. They have vast knowledge about the whole network and have the right software and private keys to follow any transaction. I was scammed $25k worth of Bitcoin in Binary option, good thing I got every penny back through the help of Gavin ray he’s a genius Contact MAIL : Gavinray78 @ gmail .com WHATSAPP : ‪+1 (352) 322‑2096‬ It is also important to be patient and really calm during the process.

Scam

1

I have been able to recover my lost funds about £300,000 through the help of Mr Jim after my broker was insisting I should invest more money before my funds can be released I saw a review about this Man at first I was so scared because you never can tell who the real ones are, I decided to give him a try and it was worth it believe me this Man is a sent because, if it wasn’t for his help I would have been on the street because I was in the process of selling my house and he didn’t charge a dime for her kindness all he desired was for me to testify about what he has done for me, Mr Jim I will forever be grateful, if you need help you can reach him out on his Mail Via (jimbianco189 @gmail.com) and believe me you’ll testify just like I and most people he has helped in recovering their lost funds,,my regards

Worst conveyancing solicitors

1

Lost me my sellers with lack of communication, delays, and literally no response to emails, phone calls - please don't ever instruct this firm, they were also very rude overall. I also felt like they didn't know what they were doing half the time, but makes sense as they are not actual solicitors. They then had the check to charge me the full fee!!!!

AVOID AVOID AVOID.
