Shared direction was great to work with especially Gary Poole who was an absolute star! Quick and helpful responses from Gary and overall nice person. My only complaint would be an interaction I had with Isobella Jarrett who I found unprofessional, she was the only downfall of my experience with shared direction.

I rarely leave reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience with Shared Direction Conveyancing. I found the handling of my case incredibly frustrating from start to finish. Communication was poor, responses were vague or dismissive, and I was left chasing answers to very reasonable questions — particularly around timeframes for exchange and completion. This caused unnecessary stress when trying to coordinate removals and time off work.
What disappointed me most was the complete lack of empathy or accountability from my case handler, who often came across as rude and uninterested. Despite all parties in the chain working toward an agreed completion date, it was only thanks to the intervention of my mortgage broker and the housing association that we managed to get there — not my own solicitor. I also felt misled over a £90 Fee Protection Scheme charge that I felt wasn’t clear enough was an opt-out.
As someone who works in a high-end client-facing role, I know what good service looks like — and unfortunately, this fell well below any acceptable standard, without a single apology for the stress caused. I hope this review encourages a rethink in how clients are treated going forward, and I hope it urges you to find an alternative company to spend your hard earned money with.

Would highly recommend, I used SDC for buying my new property and they really provided exceptional service (which is very rare now days)! Very responsive to every communication.
Unfortunately I had nightmare selling solicitors (nothing to do with SDC) but throughout the whole process I was wishing I could have used SDC for selling my previous property too, a lesson learned for me for next time.

The whole experience of moving was extremely stressful.
But with Shared-direction the process was fantastic. Always available for any questions. And quick to respond with any problems. Would highly recommend.

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!
