Recommendations for a local solicitor

[Cassel]

Hi folks

Can anybody recommend a local(ish) solicitor who can handle conveyancing matters?

Hall & Co on Lordship Lane managed our conveyancing process and we were happy with the service.

Caroline Sherry, Glazer Delmar solicitors is excellent and comes highly recommended.

We have used her a number of times & is brilliant!

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.

William Bailey - they managed to get through all the paperwork when we purchased a house in Sussex a few years ago in 8 weeks

Caroline Sherry at Glazer Delmar has been faultless with the work she has done for my wife and I on multiple occasions.

Does anyone have any idea what kind of prices conveyancers charge to cover purchase and selling for a standard house (?1m mark) around here?

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.
