Our mortgage adviser (David Jones, recommended through the forum and was excellent) suggested Suzanne McGoldrick, of Mackenzie Jones http://www.macjones.com. She was based in Chester so did the work remotely. We found her to be highly efficient and proactive and would definitely seek her out again.

Hi there

We are local estate agents and as such we have worked on conveyancing transactions with a number of local solicitors. We have found Nick Harper at Hepburns to be good - they are based in Blackwater Street just off Lordship Lane. To be clear, we do not have referral arrangements with Hepburns or any other solicitors, it just seems to us that Nick has done a professional and efficient job when we have encountered them.

Just chipping in to say we used Glazer Delmar, and while they only screwed one minor thing up during the house purchase, we had issues with communication throughout, and a subsequent title issue has been left on the shelf for weeks and weeks requiring constant calls from my side to get any kind of response. If you have limited time, I would avoid using them.
When purchasing our house we used Max Engel, http://www.maxengel.co.uk/, while they are based in Northampton we were extremely happy with them - great communication, very efficient - despite our sale and purchase being pretty complicated - and extremely friendly.

I'm sure you'll understand I don't want to divulge too much to an anonymous account on a public forum, I'd be happy to email you at your Glazer Delmar address, if you could PM me that. Thanks.

We just sold and purchased with Aletta Shaw in Bexleyheath. The solicitor was Efe Ejaife but they are all good. I found Efe and her assistant Sue very straight forward, honest and there were no hidden extras. We completed in just over 7 weeks. The final price was what was quoted at the beginning. My sister has also used them for issues around probate and was very happy. The contact details are www.alettashaw.co.uk [email protected] Tel: 0208 301 4884

Wanted to follow through on my earlier comments from Dec 2014 and say that Glazer Delmar have done a great job of sorting out the kinks in the original issues (which were to do with land title weirdness, and partly down to my oversight). Would happily use again.

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
