Shared ownership chain!

Just wanted to leave a review to say how wonderful Charlotte, Arsheen and Tanya were in helping with both the sale and purchase of my shared ownership properties. It was a difficult and challenging process but they guided me wonderfully and were always responsive (to my many many emails - there were lots!) but it was never a problem for them and they were just so lovely throughout … thank you so much and I can’t recommend you all enough ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ xx

The result was great, no doubt…
There could have been a bit more communication regarding filling out the form, because my wife had to fill it out a second time, which was unclear for unclear reasons and a bit annoying during a busy time – work, moving, filling out tons of paperwork…
Otherwise, it was ok…

Smooth efficient experience

I was kept up to date with text messages when SDC had received correspondence. The process took around 3 months and I was kept up to date with emails on what the next steps were.

Making buying a home effortlessly easy!

We had an excellent experience with Shared Direction. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, quick, and completely stress-free. Their team was professional, approachable, and always available to answer our questions. They made what could have been a complex process feel simple and straightforward. We truly felt supported every step of the way. Highly recommend their services!

Shared Direction were brilliant to deal with and made the whole experience, which can be extremely frustrating at times, a smooth worry free time.

Amazing !

As a single parent l, buying my first home gave me anxiety and stress but shared direction did everything for me and explained things I didn’t understand. Gary in particular took a lot of worry from me he was professional but also friendly, and I’ll be for forever grateful for making my experience of buying my first home for me and my children easy.

Expect a lot from clients

I cannot fault the efficiency of the service, their proactive approach, knowledge and keeping in contact.
What I do not rate highly was the expectation for the clinic’s ability to navigate the technology aspect. There is an assumption that clinics will know how to upload/download, print off and they do not provide a copy of all essential paperwork.
In fact, I still do not have the facilities or knowledge of how to obtain all the documentation needed. I feel a paper for of all necessary documents should be sent to me and not assume my phone is capable is enough to manage everything. (I do not have in my possession, laptop, computer, tablet, printer, photocopier etc)

I assume they are doing everything right but do not have a clue what some aspects of the conveyancing mean, the relevance of it or if I should have a copy of it. This could have been explained better.

It total I had four people dealing with my case. I have no idea is a solicitor was directly involved at all.
It was confusing why I had so many people emailing me and arduous to keep up.
It would have been better to one person to liaise with only.

They are not overly expensive so still value for money but costs are keep low by expecting a lot of work by the client.

Patient and understanding

SDC were great, especially when we were dealing with a really drawn out process thanks to the solicitors acting for the HA on the other side, who had zero sense of urgency and could not, would not respond to enquiries in a timely manner. My contact at SDC was very patient with extra questions and there was only some minor confusion over plans, mostly down to the other side not reading properly.

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.
