Smooth process, would use again
Clowes & Co proved to be the correct choice for us when choosing a conveyacer for our purchase. Despite numerous delays outside of their control they were always responsive and helpful, no matter how naive our questions were. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

I instructed Clowes on the basis on the reviews which mentioned good communication and service overall. This has not been my experience. There is zero communication. When I phone I can never get to speak to the solicitor and when I email I don’t get a reply. I’ve found that the solicitor sits on information and takes far too long to action anything. The whole chain is ready to go apart from us and this is down to the solicitor being so slow. She has all the information she needs, she just hasn’t responded to her counterparts acting for our buyers. When I have chased recently, I have just received an automated response saying how busy they are. This isn’t my fault. They shouldn’t take on work if they aren’t able to deal with it in a timely fashion. It is unacceptable not provide updates or any communication at all. This week alone they have been contacted by myself and both estate agents from our sale and purchase. As yet, still no response.

Collected on:
Rude and not competent
Very little proactive communication, including not conacting me when exchange and completion dates were discussed. Promised calls backs that didn't happen, and repeatedly interrupted when I did speak the the solicitor. Had to explain what an indemnity policy was to their staff, and asked the same questions multiple times over email. Not a good customer experience, wouldn't recommend

Professional, helpful and efficient. I would use this firm again without hesitation as we have been very happy with the service. Completed a sale in 7 weeks ( probably would have been 6 weeks if the buyers solicitors would not have dragged their feet with the enquiries ). Emma Lanza and her team ( Sona and Danielle) kept us informed all the time, especially the last week was key to complete on time. Thank you again for your hard work and completing our sale.
