Recommendations for a local solicitor

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.

    • Please consider any security issues associated with someone helping. Does the person have good intentions? Do they know what they are doing? Will they require your passwords or screen unlock. Will they set them for you and consequently know them? Will they store them for you? Are you sharing passwords you cannot change immediately after or are used in other places? Will they recommend apps that potentially open up security or privacy issues you do not know about. It is a bit of a minefield depending on what help you need 🙂
    • I think it's outrageous that he thinks he can do this. This is about reducing waiting lists. How dare he seek to fundamentally change the judicial system to address administrative failings (for which he is responsible). Courts are notoriously slow. Judges are slow. Perhaps look at WHY there are so many cases - what's going on? is crime going through the roof? Why not more judges, why not look at how court admin is managed?  We had one judge - over retirement age, who only worked once a week (possibly) and was slow, frail and no idea about emails etc. no sense of urgency. I actually complained which did hurry things up.  This is not a dynamic private company who wants to get things done - it takes time, it's a complicated and thorough process. RIGHTLY SO.  As least he's not lifting the lid on free legal aid and increasing the tax payers funding of it.
    • Unfortunately I've had very bad experiences with John Lewis technical help department, who have more than once given me completely wrong information, and once had to pay me compensation as a result. In any case unless you bought the phone there I'm not sure they would help? A local phone shop might, though.
