BEWARE OF What was supposed to be a simple winding up petition has been unnecesarily prolonged. I carry out winding up petitions regularly in chasing commercial tenant debt. I thought I'd try a Blakewater Certus for a change. £6,000 has been transferred to their client account and I've been charged £3,600 for work carried out on the case to date and there is no sight of the winding up petition documents being issued. In comparison, a leading law firm in Leeds that I use charge £600 for the background on / reviewing the case and issuing the winding up petiton. Please go to a larger Leeds firm as this company is only interested in creating more work at your expense.

I highly recommend Elina Jahangir, the Solicitor that handled my remortgage application who is very efficient and has kept me updated throughout the entire process while being professional, courteous, and great to deal with. I could not have asked for more. Thank you.

I recently appointed Blakewater Certus Solicitors for the conveyancing process to buy a house through an Islamic mortgage. Unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory due to the inefficiency and incompetence of the trainee solicitor assigned to my case.
The primary issue I faced was the prolonged and painful communication process. I was repeatedly reminded that the company's standard response time is 5 days, as stated in their agreement. While I acknowledge that I did not pay attention to this clause when appointing the company, I believe that such a long response time is unacceptable, especially when dealing with urgent matters.
Furthermore, I frequently received complaints from the seller's solicitor and the estate agent about the lack of communication from this person. As a result, I had to spend a significant amount of time relaying information between all parties involved. The inefficiency ultimately led to the seller pulling out of the contract, and I had to agree to pay an additional £5,000 to proceed with the purchase.
Due to the continued lack of communication, care, and concern from both the trainee solicitor and the company, I decided to terminate their services and appoint another solicitor. This decision, although it resulted in me paying double fees for the same work, was undoubtedly the best choice I made. The new solicitor was professional, and prompt, and completed the conveyancing process efficiently, allowing me to successfully purchase the property.
Based on my experience, I will never engage with [Solicitor Company Name] again. I have also advised a colleague, who is about to undergo the same process, to avoid this company.
I hope this feedback is taken seriously to improve the quality of service for future clients.

I used Blakewater Solicitors for an Islamic Mortgage and I was highly impressed with their service. Communication was clear from the start. They provided a step-by-step guide of the process and were proactive in ensuring things were in place or chased up on time, to reduce the risk of any delays. It was very easy to get in touch with the team regarding any queries and they were always happy to help. My case was managed by Ahisha and Abdul Hafeez, who were both excellent. Thanks for making the process as seamless and efficient as possible.

I have used Blakewater before and my experience as a returning client was very good. Both Henna & Ahisha were very attentive throughout and more than happy to answer questions. Ahisha provided great support throughout the process and worked very efficiently to ensure we hit the intended exchange date!
I would recommend Blakewater for any mortgage/re-mortgage work.

First time property buyer and Ayaaz was very honest from the beginning with the whole process of buying a new build with Islamic finance - we decided to go ahead anyway and Henna was assigned to our case.
The process was stressful but ultimately we completed everything in timely fashion thanks to Henna - she gave sound advice from beginning to end
One area I think that could be improved on would be communication - sometimes I felt like I was chasing up queries without any updates
Overall a satisfactory experience and would recommend to others
A representative from Blakewater Certus responded to this review on 11 May, 2023:
Hi Imran, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are so pleased that Ayaaz, Henna & the team helped alleviate some of the stress of being a first-time buyer. We understand how overwhelming the Conveyancing process can be so it's great to hear that you felt supported throughout. We appreciate your comments regarding our communication and will take this on board to help us improve our service in the future. Your recommendation is most appreciated. Best wishes, the team at Blakewater Solicitors.

The entire team at Blakewater Solicitors has been incredibly helpful throughout the purchase of my home. From our initial engagement in January to the completion in under three months, the process was seamless. Ahisha, Mohammad Sudais, and Shakeel were all exceptionally proactive and made everything run smoothly. I can't recommend them highly enough.

We had a really good experience using Ayaaz as a solicitor for our house move. Sold and bought our new property within weeks. Very fast turnaround and clear communication throughout the whole process to ensure everything went smoothly. We were able to save the increase in stamp duty due to his efficiency! Thank you very much! Would 100% recommend!
