Jan 23,2025Following a recent property purchase I felt it necessary to extend my thanks and gratitude to all at the Lichfield Branch of Glover Priest Solicitors. Especially, both Paige Stevens & Stephen Johnson for the professionalism, expertise, transparency, excellent communication, and understanding they both displayed ensuring that the entire process was as seamless a transaction as possible. I rarely give reviews but credit where it is due! I have and will be highly recommending to both friends and family. Thanks once again. Regards, Chris

Jan 21,2025Sally, Ellie and Amina were excellent! Throughout the process, they were all very efficient, friendly and knowledgeable and always willing to help. If I ever decide to move again, I know which company and branch I will be using and recommending to others.

Jan 20,2025Another fabulous experience from Glover Priest Stourbridge, specifically Chloe Hobbs and Jordan Whyley. Following on from a previous successful conveyancing transaction in 2023, we specifically requested Chloe and Jordan to handle the Sale and Purchase of our residential property, completing in December 2024. This included management of our part in a chain. Our expectations were exceeded again. Chloe and Jordan were excellent throughout - communications were timely, relevant and accurate. Documents were easily understood and responses clear and to the point. Would highly recommend and would use again. Thanks Jordan and Chloe.

Jan 17,2025To say the service was poor would be an understatement. From the moment the case was assigned to the conveyancer, communication and updates were non-existent. On multiple occasions, I attempted to contact the assigned conveyancer, Zainub Mahmood, but each time I was passed between 3 or 4 different individuals who could not provide me with any answers, all claiming to be Zainub’s assistant. This process felt more like dealing with a call center, where no one had any updates or ownership of the case. There were multiple issues throughout the process, but the final straw came when completion was delayed weeks due to special conditions from the lender that had yet to be satisfied. These conditions were something Zainub had been aware of since receiving the mortgage offer 10 weeks prior. However, when I discussed this with her, she was completely unaware of the outstanding requirements and why the lender had not yet released the funds. Only after bringing this to her attention did the case proceed to completion, just days later. The lack of communication and the absence of accountability in the office, including from managers, gave me no confidence that the case was being handled properly. Furthermore, both the estate agent and the seller’s solicitor, along with myself, raised concerns on numerous occasions with Zainub’s managers, Rachel and Julia, including submitting a formal written complaint. To date, we have received no acknowledgment or response. As a result of this poor service, both the buyer’s estate agent and the developer have decided to blacklist Glover Priest and will not be working with the firm again. I, too, will not be using your services again and will not recommend Glover Priest to others.

Jan 10,2025Excellent conveyancing work from Stephen, Nadine and Paige at Glover Priest in Lichfield. I have had the pleasure of working with the team on a few occasions now and can honestly say I would never use anyone else. Their professionalism, communication, commitment, friendly approach and speed at which they work are outstanding. My purchase was complete in just over 4 weeks!! Thank you all so much, look forward to working with you again soon. Julie Baker.

Jan 06,2025I don't think there is a better term to describe our experience with GloverPriest Solicitors, other than NIGHTMARE. We chose the GloverPriest team in Kings Heath for the sale of our property and the purchase of a new one, as part of a chain. Within the span of 7 months, our main solicitor has been changed 4 times. Each time, the new person took several weeks to get familiar with the case and the documentation, which was very disruptive for the process and caused a lot of delay. Then, they left the business and dumped the case on another solicitor, so that the thing would be back at square one. Their customer service is non-existent: they lost files, they didn't reply to emails and didn't pick up the phone, or return our calls. They would only pick up the phone after leaving it ringing for ages. On some occasions, some of their statements made us doubt their effective understanding of how the process of a 'chain' in a property transaction works, and a lack of knowledge of its complexity caused by all the moving parts connected to it. The entire process caused us an enormous amount of effort, stress and wasted time. We missed our completion date three times, of which one was because the designated solicitor 'could not find' the email from our lender confirming the timely release of funds, despite us checking multiple times with the bank that the email was sent to the right address. The cherry on the cake was that, when we gathered information from our vendors that the planned completion date would not be achievable, due to issues in other parts of the chain, we informed them and they CHARGED US A FEE OF £180 (£90 per transaction) for having changed the completion date at the last moment!! So much for us trying to make their job easier. We are two educated, digital-savvy professionals, and we have struggled to get this painful process over the line, with immense stress, waste of time and energy. I cannot fathom how a less educated, or elderly person, could have dealt with this. If we could have done it ourselves, we would have. If we could give 0 stars, we would. David & Marika

Dec 24,2024I've been a mortgage adviser for over 35 years and this has to be in the top 5 of the worst solicitors experiences I have ever had. The huge delays caused by them nearly cost my client his business and yet despite the numerous times we told them the urgency of the case from the beginning they continued to cause further delays by simply not doing what they were paid to do. We have evidence of searches not being requested on time, late applications of deed searches, delayed requests for funds and the lists go on and on. We had to carry out many of the chases meant for the solicitors just to get the case over the line as the solicitor dealing with the case was incompetent. Absolutely no empathy for the client and the delays they caused and not a single apology for problems caused by them. The simple remortgage case could have been dealt with and completed by a competent solicitor within 4-6 weeks and yet we had to wait almost 3 months. Absolutely diabolical service! And when you call to make a complaint without mentioning the solicitor dealing with the case and the person at the end of the line names them because they have had numerous complaints about the same solicitor that isn't a good sign. You have been warned! Just a shame you can't leave less than 1 start to submit a review. Whilst we were not the clients we were the mortgage advisers dealing with the case after choosing them through a conveyancing quote site so we were very heavily involved with the case and the experience both us as advisers and our client received appalling service.

Dec 22,2024Anouska and Gemma at the Stourbridge office made the sale of my late mother's house straightforward and were responsive to emails and phone calls. Thank you so much. This is the second time I have used Glover Priest and I would use them again in the future.

Dec 20,2024Jake at the Market Harborough office dealt with our conveyancing in a very professional manner. He was extremely easy to deal with and was very contactable. I would certainly recommend this Company and in particular Jake.

Dec 18,2024Despite protracted problems with the sale, Elizabeth, Nadine and Amanda were always attentive, responsive and helpful. For conveyancing, they cannot be faulted.

Dec 18,2024Thanks to the Lichfield team - Stephen, Nadine and Paige - for handling our recent house sale in a most professional manner. A smooth process from start to finish and we were able to get quick responses from the team when the occasional query arose.

Dec 18,2024I recently had the pleasure of working with Stephen and his team (Nadine and Paige) on the purchase of my property, and I am extremely impressed with their professionalism and service. From the very beginning, they provided clear, open communication and ensured I was kept informed every step of the way. The regular updates were especially helpful, and I always felt reassured knowing exactly where we were in the process. What stood out most was his thorough due diligence. Stephen went above and beyond to ensure that all aspects of the entire process were carefully reviewed and that I was fully aware of any potential issues, which gave me great peace of mind. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better solicitor to handle this important process. I highly recommend Stephen and his team for anyone looking for a reliable, diligent, and communicative professional. Thank you for your excellent service!

Jan 23,2025Stephen , Nadine & Paige yet again pulled out all the stops to get a sale over the line. Nothing deters them from getting results in the quickest time and keeping you in the loop all the way.I would not fail to recommend their services.
