Excellent Service

Absolutely brilliant and professional service. Ours was not the most straightforward house chain as multiple issues further down the chain lead to delays. Emma who dealt with our sale and purchase was absolutely outstanding, very friendly and on the ball with all actions needed, she was always available on the phone or via email when needed.
I would definitely recommend best solicitors and will use again in the future!!

Really negative experience in our first time buying a house. Would not recommend to anyone.

There was red flags from the start with incorrect paperwork which we should’ve picked up on but our naivety in buying a house didn’t stop us going with best solicitors.

It was unclear start to finish, 0 communication and we found out most information from the seller herself when we went for second/third viewings etc.

We spoke with Elizabeth to express our issues we had who was not understanding whatsoever and actually criticised our email expressing our issues. She made comments such as “has he never made a mistake before” talking about me, and “if the sellers documents have gone missing, how is that my fault?” The seller was also using Best Solicitors at this point before she made the correct decision to change to a better firm.

We bought that house in November 2024 and today have just paid an extra £300 they requested even though they told us we had paid this already. It got to the point I was fed up of the threats from their error so it was better just to pay it to stop the stress it had caused me.

Please read the reviews on this company before deciding to use Best Solicitors.

A representative from Best Solicitors Limited responded to this review on 06 August, 2025:

Hi Will, Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We are sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with the service you have received. As you know, we have already been in direct contact with you regarding this matter. We would like to reassure you that no threats were made at any stage. The initial payment on account referred to in our retainer letter had not been received, and we explained this and requested payment in accordance with our terms. Your comments have been noted, and we are sorry that you feel our service fell below your expectations. While we believe the payment was correctly payable, we do appreciate your recent settlement of the sum and thank you for addressing this. Kind regards, Best Solicitors

Just completed two transactions with Kerrie Neath (a sale and a purchase). Communication with Kerrie was nothing short of frustrating. There was no proactivity from Kerrie whatsoever, we only got to find out what was happening when our estate agent informed us or we called for an update. We once went three weeks without hearing anything at all. The worst occasion was when I made my usual enquiry on a Friday about a progress report only to be told “ I have received the enquiries today from the Buyer’s Solicitors so I have not looked at these yet.” I called on Monday noon to find out why she couldn’t look at the enquiry on Friday and Kerrie seemed to think it was ok to leave this unknown question not only unanswered but unopened. Very frustrating and I can not recommend this solicitor

A representative from Best Solicitors Limited responded to this review on 17 June, 2025:

Hello Mike, Thank you for your feedback on your recent experience with Best Solicitors. We're sorry to hear that you weren’t completely satisfied.
