Value for money?

The sales team were very good. Saul, my contact was exceptionally good at explaining how things worked and what my fees would be. After which the online system and identity process was very simple. However, after that, things didn’t go so smoothly. Clearly, this business is sell it cheap and stack it high, volume based conveyance. Most annoying was that an email was sent by my buyers solicitor which wasn’t read and was lost for 10 days which delayed my sale. The solicitor was very good and responded to my emails quickly but her assistant Aliayah? Was not so good.
As such I was financially put in an awkward position when my completion was delayed so my question is, was it value for money? I’m not so sure.

Lengthy sale but we got there in the end

We haven't sold a property for a while and we knew it would take time but we hoped a chain free sale would complete in around 5 months. Unfortunately, it took longer and selling a leasehold property is more complicated. The buyer's solicitor kept bringing up last minute issues which could not be blamed on our solicitor.
Also all the apartment paperwork was not in order either so it could have taken this long with any solicitor.
This practice offers great value for money and virtually all sales are taking a long time now. For that reason I would recommend because others charge a lot and don't give you anymore.
Communication could improve a little to relieve buyer/seller anxiety. More information on the personal customer website timeline of progress would help.

Did the job, but a little slow

The job was completed successfully however there were times when they didn't respond that quickly. Overall the process took a few weeks longer to complete than we had hoped.

Simple property sale

Overall the experience was very good.
There was the right amount of communication from an early stage.
The professional fees charged were very competitive, and represent very good value for the level of service offered.

Inefficient

Only leaving this review as they have threatened me that this is my third and final chance to do so! The reason I haven’t done so before is because my instruction is still not complete. It has been over a year since my initial instruction for a simple transfer of equity, and I am still waiting for confirmation from the land registry. This is not because the land registry is slow it is because VHL have taken so long to process my instruction. There is a total lack of communication and it would seem the only time they do any work on your case is when you chase them for an update.
The moment I paid my final bill, they were sending me emails and texts asking if I would recommend others to use VHL, the simple answer is NO.

We had an amazing experience with Valerie Holmes. Our conveyancer Stephanie Boocock was incredible.

We had an extremely tight deadline that seemed impossible, in a market where your average house move seems to be >6 months. And yet Stephanie performed the miraculous and we moved in to our house in record time, beating the stamp duty deadline. She was extremely helpful and informative throughout the process, keeping us up to date with all news and providing us with all the tools we needed to get the move done swiftly. She fought for us, got all other parties moving quickly and was a pleasure to work with.

We can only recommend! Thank you very much, Stephanie.

I'm a property developer and have always used Valerie homes every time I buy and sell and also recommend them to my clients, friends and family and I have never received any negative feedback from anyone. I would definitely recommend. They are brilliant, professional and make sure all details are covered and make sure the other parties solicitors send them all details which is vital!

Delighted to have had VHPL recommended to me, and I would happily recommend the firm to others – indeed I have already done so. My solicitor was very responsive, spent a lot of time talking me through various points of law relating to my purchase, and was clear on what her legal guidance was and the matters relevant to the decisions I needed to take. VHPL guided me through the buying process from start to finish, and document signing and other relevant administration was all swift and straightforward. Thanks again for a great service.
