Dreadful Experience. Ended up doing the work myself towards the end.
Never got phone calls returned, when demanded a reply got threatened and told it would cost more.
Most stressful experience in just trying ti get hold of them, wish I pulled out when I had the chance but glad I stuck with it now(Thanks to my selling Agent)
Pretty sure at some points she had no idea what she was doing.
Just avoid at all costs.

I could never get through and messages left were never answered ..I had to chase up everything, as did my estate agent. I even had to chase my money as it wasn't received on the completion day I received it 3 days later after eventually getting though and a very stressful weekend.
I wouldn't recommend them at all

I can say that hand on heart dealing with Hugo Parnell at the Maidstone Office is quite possibly one of the most traumatic experiences we have ever had. How this man qualified as a Conveyancer is beyond me. A simple purchase from a family member turned into a 5-month ordeal causing a huge amount of stress to two family members who are in their 70's. Cook Taylor Woodhouse are quite frankly a far cry from the once decent firm they used to be and thanks to their total lack of professionalism and woeful service ended up costing us thousands in additional stamp duty. Letters that were written to the MD Martin Bowers were ignored as were various communications to their so called business development manager Diane Searle. All who were involved in this transaction went out of their way to purposely delay our transaction which I find totally unacceptable. If my in-laws had more fight in them they would without hesitation report Cook Taylor Woodhouse to the law society.
I hope this true account of our first hand experience with this firm goes some way in deterring others from having to go through the same ordeal we did .

We were recommended to use Cook Taylor Woodhouse by our estate agent when selling our home and we are so pleased we did! Xanthe was our dedicated solicitor, who was simply amazing! She made the whole process a painless as possible for us, when we all know moving house can be really stressful. Communication was outstanding, always replying the same day to our emails or queries and keeping us informed every step of the way throughout the process. She was extremely thorough and was the reason we chose to use her again when buying our forward property. She literally went above and beyond to get our completion dates to align (although the sale/ purchase were two separate chains!), chasing our sellers solicitors and estate agents, she really did make us feel like she was there for us and informed of our legal rights if and when required. Summer was brilliant - keeping us informed along the way, even giving us courtesy calls on completion day to reassure us that all was in hand behind the scenes, so we weren’t sat around wondering what’s happening. Our sellers solicitor didn’t make contact for weeks, whereas we were often receiving email updates daily from Xanthe. We can’t recommend these guys enough, you won’t regret it! They will certainly be our go to solicitors in the future.

I used Cook Taylor Woodhouse to sell my property in Kent. I had Brook Illing dealing with my case I can honestly say I had no issues. He made the process easy and kept me informed all the way through. I also used the firm but at a different branch for the purchase of the property and was equally as impressed. No complaints.

I would not recommend CTW Solicitors. They have poor customer care.

Very happy with my experience from Cook Taylor Woodhouse. Being a first time buyer I was quite worried with my purchase as I have never been through this before. However, Eve and the whole team at CTW has made my whole experience easy and stress free. I would highly recommend.

I would highly recommend Brook Illing of CTW for going the extra mile in the smooth completion of the sale of my property and the purchase of our new home. Brook was always easy to contact and would always put my mind at rest whenever I was worried that the process was not going well. You can trust Brook to get the job done.
