Russell and Russell were without a doubt the worse solicitors I've used to re-mortgage, their communication was non existent and the mortgage was dragged out so long we had to request the lender to extend the offer despite me emailing the solicitors several times asking what else they needed.
They left everything to the last second.

I’ve had a bloody nightmare with buying my first ever property. Every possible outside force that could prevent the sale happening, happened. But throughout all of that, Russell & Russell have been there. They are friendly and proactive, very responsive and always kept me updated about progress. Zoe Harryman and her assistant Victoria were superstars (friendly and reassuring beyond words), and lots of people stepped in to help along the way - Jack, Catherine and Claire. Thank you to all involved helping make my nightmare home buying experience a lot less painful than it could have been. You’re all welcome to come over for welcome cocktails.
