I used Emma Selfridge as my solicitor for the purchase of a buy-to-let property. The process began in July, and despite there being no chain on the property, we only completed at the end of January 2025. The delays were unacceptable and largely due to lost documents, poor communication, and a general lack of organisation.
It was extremely difficult to get hold of Emma, and when she did respond, she would copy me into long, confusing email threads that only added to the stress. I even received emails from her at midnight, which made me question the professionalism of the service. Having purchased several properties in the past, this was by far the worst experience I have had with a solicitor. I am genuinely worried that things may not have been carried out properly because of how chaotic the process was. I would strongly advise others to look elsewhere for a more reliable and professional service.
