Couldn’t thank Katherine enough

I want to extend my sincere thanks to Katherine at Core Legal for her outstanding support and dedication. From start to finish, she handled my matter with professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care. Her clear communication and tireless work made the entire process much smoother and far less stressful. It’s rare to find someone as committed and capable as Katherine, and I truly appreciate all the time and effort she invested on my behalf. I highly recommend Core Legal, especially for anyone looking for trusted legal guidance backed by exceptional service.

Seamless purchase of our first home!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Katherine at for my first home purchase, and I couldn't be more impressed. As a first-time buyer, I had a lot of questions and needed a lot of guidance, and Katherine was incredibly patient and helpful throughout the entire process.

She was always available to answer my questions and address my concerns. Katherine's attention to detail and expertise gave me confidence that everything was being handled correctly.

I highly recommend Katherine and to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable solicitor. She made the stressful process of buying a home much easier and more manageable. Thank you for everything!

OUTSTANDING


I can’t recommend Katherine Webb enough! From the moment we began the process of buying our home, they provided exceptional support, clear communication, and expert guidance every step of the way. What could have been a stressful experience was made smooth and straightforward thanks to their professionalism and attention to detail.

They were always quick to respond to questions, explained complex legal matters in a way that was easy to understand, and went above and beyond to ensure everything stayed on track. Even when unexpected issues arose, they handled them with calm efficiency and unwavering dedication to our best interests.

Thanks to their hard work, we completed our purchase on time and with total confidence in the process. If you’re looking for a solicitor who truly cares and delivers top-notch service, look no further. Kath is simply outstanding

Excellent and responsive service

We used Core Legal for conveyancing support when we purchased a new property. Suresh and his team were very supportive and the portal gave us clear visibility of the progress being made.

I am very happy with the conveyancing service provided by Core Legal York Office - they did an excellent job in conveyancing my purchase of a property.

It took less than 7 weeks to complete on the 31 March 2025 just in time right before the increase in Stamp Duty taxes, saving me in higher SDLT.

I am very pleased with how the Core Legal team worked together Vivi, Ellie, Matthew to provide updates and running the process smoothly.

I am glad I was referred to them, will definitely use their services again and recommend their services.

It took Core legal 6 weeks to complete my purchase. I was referred by my broker who stated they completed all his clients really quickly, I checked the reviews and was a little nervous but trusted his judgement. First week, I missed the digital profile log in details, once I logged in and completed all the documents, it took Vivi exactly 5 weeks to finish everything. I collected my keys today. They never missed a call or email from me, the digital profile was telling me exactly at what stage we were at and what to expect next. Thank you for looking after my family and myself 🫶 Vivi you were amazing!

I would strongly recommend in not using them, I had to deal with the documents and majority of the sale, they were delaying it and had I not chased I would not have brought the property in time. They taken almost three years to provide the title reg which I had to chase on. Not good at all and I’ve asked my mortgage advisor to not provide them to other customers.

Core legal were brilliant every step of the way for our first time house purchase. Always professional, communicated well. Answered all queries we had and explained each step well. Suresh was fantastic on completion day as we had issues with Seller and key hand over. Very supportive kept me calm through a stressful day. Suresh followed up with a call early the following morning, before opening! Thank you Core Legal for a smooth process and holding our hand throughout! Strongly recommend
