I had the pleasure of working with Maisie Tickner to finalize my mortgage deal, and I can’t speak highly enough of the service she provided. The process took over a year to complete due to ongoing delays from the builder, but Maisie remained incredibly patient, supportive, and professional throughout.
She kept me informed every step of the way, was always quick to respond to my questions, and made sure everything was prepared and in order despite the long and frustrating wait. Her calm and reassuring approach truly made a stressful situation much more manageable.
Maisie’s dedication and attention to detail were exceptional, and I genuinely appreciate all the hard work she put in to see the deal through to completion. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and committed solicitor.

I rarely leave reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience with Shared Direction Conveyancing. I found the handling of my case incredibly frustrating from start to finish. Communication was poor, responses were vague or dismissive, and I was left chasing answers to very reasonable questions — particularly around timeframes for exchange and completion. This caused unnecessary stress when trying to coordinate removals and time off work.
What disappointed me most was the complete lack of empathy or accountability from my case handler, who often came across as rude and uninterested. Despite all parties in the chain working toward an agreed completion date, it was only thanks to the intervention of my mortgage broker and the housing association that we managed to get there — not my own solicitor. I also felt misled over a £90 Fee Protection Scheme charge that I felt wasn’t clear enough was an opt-out.
As someone who works in a high-end client-facing role, I know what good service looks like — and unfortunately, this fell well below any acceptable standard, without a single apology for the stress caused. I hope this review encourages a rethink in how clients are treated going forward, and I hope it urges you to find an alternative company to spend your hard earned money with.

Would highly recommend, I used SDC for buying my new property and they really provided exceptional service (which is very rare now days)! Very responsive to every communication.
Unfortunately I had nightmare selling solicitors (nothing to do with SDC) but throughout the whole process I was wishing I could have used SDC for selling my previous property too, a lesson learned for me for next time.

The whole experience of moving was extremely stressful.
But with Shared-direction the process was fantastic. Always available for any questions. And quick to respond with any problems. Would highly recommend.

Stephen Crow has been so amazing throughout our experience. I'm sure he had so many cases on his plate but he was always able to provide an update when I requested one. It got stressful towards the end but he was able to give very detailed explanations of what was happening and he worked tirelessly to get us where we needed to be. Very grateful he was a part of the process!

They may be doing a great job, or not. I don’t know because they give nothing other than the occasional automatically generated message. If you hit a bump in the road don’t expect to be told. Don’t expect them to chase information from other solicitors, or give you any information even if you contact by any method. Don’t expect the main office to be any more help than your solicitor. Personally, I’d say give some other solicitor a go.
