I had to chase Glazer Delmar a couple of times just to get a quote for conveyancing once.


Unsurprisingly I didnt go with them.


Felt that if they couldn't even get back to me to with a quote, they were either too busy to be bothered or too disorganised/lazy to get it done.

I have to agree with Cheese Board; I found Glazer Delmar slow and fairly unhelpful.


They slightly messed up my conveyancing on my flat and a year and a half later the problem still isn't sorted. The solicitor in question wasn't Caroline though so I can't comment on her work. My advice would be that if the purchase is simple, then they are ok, but if it is complicated either make sure you get Caroline or go elsewhere.

I wouldn't use them again.

I have used the same solicitor for 5 property transactions and would highly recommend, but he's not local: Northampton. But he does a lot of the work via email so I have never found the distance to be an issue (I've only ever bought and sold in London). He's very bright, spots issues and deals with complex transactions well.

So if you're happy with using someone in Northampton, speak to Hassan Shah at SP Law LLP. He's one of the founder partners, the practice is growing well and he does a lot of landlord and tenant and other matters too.

      Cyclists taking over paths!!

      By malumbu · Posted

      What would I do about cyclists?  The failed Tory manfesto commitment to train all kids was an excellent proposal.  Public information campaigns aimed at all road users, rather than singling some out, to more considerately share the road, as TfL have done, is welcome too. As for crunching vehicles.  I'd extend this to illegal ebikes, illegal e-scoooters (I think some local authorities have done this with the latter) but before that I would (a) legislate that the delivery companies move away from zero hours contracts to permanent employees and take responsibility for their training, vehicles and behaviour on the road.   More expensive takeaways are a price worth paying for safer roads and proper terms and conditions (b) legislate to register all illegal e-bikes and scooters so that when they are found on the road the retailer takes a hit, and clamp down on any grey markets.  If you buy an e scooter say from Halfords this comes with a disclaimer that it can only be used on private land with the owner's permission.

      I know a lot of experts in the field and getting a franchise was a license to print money, that is why Virgin were so happy to spend lots of dosh challenging government ten years ago when they lost the West Coast franchise.  This will not be overnight, rather than when the franchise has come to the end. Government had previously taking over the operator of last resort when some TOCs screwed up. Good, at last some clear blue water between the parties.  Tories said they were going to do a halfway house, but I've not noticed.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_British_Railways   : "On 19 October 2022, Transport Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan announced that the Transport Bill which would have set up GBR would not go ahead in the current parliamentary session.[15] In February 2023, Transport Secretary Mark Harper re-affirmed the government's commitment to GBR and rail reform.[16] The 2023 King's speech announced the progression of a draft Rail Reform Bill which would enable the establishment of GBR, although it has not been timetabled in the Parliamentary programme.[5] The Transport Secretary Mark Harper later told the Transport Select Committee that the legislation was unlikely to reach Royal Assent within the 2023-2024 parliamentary session.[17]"

      Melbourne Tyres closed down

      Can't help thinking that regardless of whether Joe wanted to be interviewed, the 'story' that Southwark News wanted to write just got a lot less interesting with 'tyre shop replaced with ... tyre shop'!

      Labour are proposing to nationalise the railways, (passenger trains but not fright)  Whilst it removes them from shareholders control, and potential profit chasing, is it workable or will it end up costing tax payers more in the long run?  On paper the idea is interesting but does it also need the profitable freight arm included to help reduce fares,?
