Interesting Experience

I used SDC to complete the process of buying my first house in the UK. They were recommended by So Resi. It was my first time using a solicitor in the UK, so it was an interesting experience. As it was my first time using it, I cannot compare to other solicitors. In general, they were polite and efficient.

Dear Anonymous, Thank you very much for your review. We are happy to hear that we provided a polite and efficient service. Kind regards, Shared Direction Conveyancing

Stephen Crow has been so amazing throughout our experience. I'm sure he had so many cases on his plate but he was always able to provide an update when I requested one. It got stressful towards the end but he was able to give very detailed explanations of what was happening and he worked tirelessly to get us where we needed to be. Very grateful he was a part of the process!

Dear Caroline, Thanks very much for your review. I'm sure Stephen will be delighted with your comments. We wish you all the best with your new home. Kind regards, Shared Direction Conveyancing

They may be doing a great job, or not. I don’t know because they give nothing other than the occasional automatically generated message. If you hit a bump in the road don’t expect to be told. Don’t expect them to chase information from other solicitors, or give you any information even if you contact by any method. Don’t expect the main office to be any more help than your solicitor. Personally, I’d say give some other solicitor a go.

Excellent experience of the Birmingham conveyancing team. From start to finish I can't fault them. A family member is also using them and can't fault them. They were among the cheaper quotes and have been incredibly fast at getting me into my new home. Extremely responsive via email and phone call. Particularly big thanks to Ahtsham.

I feel I pulled the short straw for who was dealing with my purchase. Poor communication, ignored my emails and could not answer the phone/get back to voicemails and they appeared to overlook paperwork- such as telling me how a piece was missing after completion. I would not recommend.
