Acknowledgment for Shared Direction Conveyancing Limited

I want to express my sincere gratitude to Shared Direction Conveyancing Limited for their exceptional service and professional support throughout my shared ownership mortgage process. From start to finish, their team demonstrated expertise, patience, and genuine commitment to ensuring everything moved forward smoothly.

Navigating the legal aspects of shared ownership can be complex, but Shared Direction Conveyancing made it clear and manageable. They took the time to explain each step, kept me informed with regular updates, and handled all the legal documentation with diligence and precision. Their proactive communication and attention to detail gave me peace of mind at every stage of the transaction.

Thanks to their guidance, I was able to successfully secure my shared ownership property without unnecessary delays or confusion. It truly felt like they were working with me, not just for me.

I wholeheartedly recommend Shared Direction Conveyancing Limited to anyone seeking a reliable and supportive solicitor for shared ownership or property transactions. Their professionalism and customer-first approach make them stand out in the legal field.

Quick and easy

Good value for money. Ahtsham worked well to get me completed quicker than expected and was very nice and friendly to deal with. Communication lacked a little, however I always received a timely response by email or phone call when I chased for an update. Process was relatively easy as a first time buyer.

Not the best experience with SDC.
It seemed as though whenever I was to chase the solicitors is when things would get done. It took for me to ask for an update after 2 weeks of hearing nothing for them to order the searches, and I only received an update once I had sent the email to ask, nothing was ever done or sent to me off their own back! On completion day I didn’t hear off them until 2pm but I had been speaking to the housing association that morning and again it was me who contacted them which means I didn’t actually end up completing until 10 minutes before the cut off on that day. They were quick to respond when we were talking about transferring funds so really happy that it’s over.

I am glad that I am over dealing with SDLT. I have been in so much stress dealing with them until even after my house was completed, they were still asking for mortgage deed to besigned despite of me sending this 4 times to them and spent a lot of money just to have these documents posted secured! I have been chasing my application myself and chased the local authority just for us to complete on time! Otherwise, we may have completed end of September! If you dont push them, they will never give you update or do any actions! Which is not supposed to be as you paid them for your application to be smoothly processed. However it wasnt the case! I am so disappointed as as a FTB I have to go through this and I have learned my lesson not to use them the next time! I should even be paying myself as I was mostly doing all the chasing! Even the mortgage offer from the Lender I have to contact them myself just for them to receive this on time! I would avoid them specially the Birmingham branch. Still giving 2 stars as atleast my application was completed but LOADS OF CHASING!!!!!
