First time buyer purchase for share of freehold flat

I was referred to Moore Barlow as I was looking for a solicitor who would be quick, proactive, thorough and practical. My completion date was up against the deadline for stamp duty increases for first time buyers and so I needed to complete before the deadline. I'd heard of challenges faced by friends who used other solicitors which caused delays to their purchases and I didn't want to be in the same position.

I was helped by Verity at MB who was fantastic. She was really reliable and responsive, practical and kept the whole process moving without any intervention needed from me. She chased up delays with the other side and kept me informed throughout. Thanks to Verity's work we were able to complete ahead of the deadline.

A few examples of why the experience with MB was so positive:

- Fee transparency - Very clear up front pricing - covering fees, searches, disbursements etc. While slightly higher than other quotes, I wanted a service that removed as much admin as possible and so felt like very good value for money

- Proactivity - Verity sent updates throughout the process to give me the assurance that it was progressing, and was also regularly following up with the sellers' solicitors to keep the process moving. I didn't need to worry that it was progressing or to send chasers due to the proactivity.

- Clarity - Communication was very clear, and where there were things that I didn't know Verity explained everything either over email or on the phone

- Protecting my interests - A couple of snags were identified during the process, including building works that didn't have the right certification and the lease plan not accurately reflecting the demise of the property. These were identified by MB and then MB ensured that indemnity policies were taken out to protect me and were paid for by the sellers.

Failure of process and unprofessional

Very strange developments this afternoon. Had a call with Karen Barham and Victoria Walker today to discuss service failure, poor outcomes and excessive costs charged for my mediation service. When a conversation that occurred early in the process was played back to Karen she “played dumb” and pretended it didn’t occur, when I asked for her to put her recollection and version of events in writing to me in an email the partner on the call Victoria became defensive and evasive and threatened to end the call. Victoria also thought it was her role as the partner supervising the complaints process to argue with the client and pick holes in what she was being told. At the end of the call I asked for the name and contact details of a senior partner and was told by Victoria those would be sent - never received. I later called to speak to Victoria and was told she would call me back - never received a call back.

Overall appears to be quite toxic behaviour from senior people at this firm. Awaiting a response from the senior partners.

I can’t speak highly enough of Moore Barlow LLP and their incredible team. From the outset, they displayed exceptional professionalism, empathy, and dedication to my case. They took the time to understand every detail, explaining each step of the process in a way that was easy to grasp, and always keeping me updated.

The team’s expertise and genuine commitment to achieving the best possible outcome made all the difference. They not only helped me navigate legal issues but also gave me the confidence and support I needed during a challenging time. I am truly grateful for their guidance and would recommend Moore Barlow LLP to anyone seeking justice with a team that genuinely cares.

Great Conveyancing Solicitor for a First-time Home Buyer

Navigating the process of purchasing a home in the UK was challenging for me as a first-time buyer, unfamiliar with all the legally required steps as well as documents I needed from the seller to set me up for success as a home owner.

Verity was very helpful from the get-go - providing a clear overview of the process and transparent cost estimates on our intro call, relaying information and sending documents in a timely manner, offering honest advice with my best interest in mind, and advocating for my best interest while working with the seller's solicitors and real-estate agents. On occasions when unanticipated challenges arose (e.g. difficulty procuring translated/certified foreign documents, subpar documents from the seller, and pushy agents), Verity proved patient, resourceful, and diligent in handling those incidents and getting the purchase across the finish line. More than anything else, she was very kind to me throughout the entire process.

I couldn't recommend Verity more to anyone looking to purchase a property and in need of a conveyancing solicitor!
