We used Ison Harrison for both sale & purchase on the advice of our estate agent, originally allocated to a solicitor at the Harrogate branch who was an absolute disgrace to the profession. Ignored phone calls and emails, rude conduct, unnecessary delays, poor advice and a complete lack of professionalism throughout. We endured months of avoidable stress. After several months we were eventually reallocated to a new solicitor at the Bingley branch who actually cared about client experience and was very competent at her job. We only discovered our case had been reallocated however when phoning the solicitor at the Harrogate branch following yet another ignored email, and halfway through the phone call his assistant out of nowhere said ‘you do know we’re not dealing with this anymore’. When I submitted a complaint there was no accountability whatsoever and attempts to fob me off with a ‘goodwill gesture’ which only added insult to injury. Customers should not have to get angry in order to be listened to and compensated for a poor experience. They have now refunded me with a more appropriate sum but I have not received a genuine apology for the experience we had or any indication of how the complaint will be addressed with the original solicitor. I wish I had taken time to read the reviews on Trust Pilot as I can see I’m not the only one who has had this experience.
Very professional, quick and communicative. Would recommend to anyone needing professional help with legal responsibilities.
Infuriating service. I will not mention the name of the solicitor as there is a chance she is overworked and it is not entirely her fault, but she has still been deceptive, oblivious and is currently running the risk of breaking my chain. I am in contact with the buyer directly who is constantly contradicting the solicitor (saying certain forms haven't been finished when they have been) and asking the same questions ad nauseum. I am selling in England and buying in Scotland, I gave ample time to complete the sale, but after three months we were still being asked initial questions, some of which we had already answered, some of which multiple times! I am currently at risk of breaking the chain and losing my property in Scotland. I have moved a few times now and this is honestly one of the most stressful and infuriating experiences I have ever had. Avoid like the plague.
Great experience. Leashia, Sarah and all the team were professional and great with communication. First time buyer getting a mortgage and they made the process smooth as possible. Thank you! Highly recommend.
I was recommended Ison Harrison by a friend and I would, in turn, recommend them to anyone else. Leashia and Sarah responded promptly, they were always available, and they knew their stuff. Previously I have found the whole house moving process incredibly stressful but this time it was so much easier, thanks to Ison Harrison!
Melissa Edwards was a star so helpful and quick to getting back to the million questions I asked her every day, Will use again in the future.
Richard Pinto assisted me with a case against me for potential Harrasment, this caused my anxiety to flare up like no other due to fact I knew I was innocent but had never been in legal trouble before, Richard was easy to speak to and professional right from the start and contacted me all the way up to VA at the police station, he attended and gave me the best advice and it could not have gone better, Thankyou Richard I will recommend IsonHarrison to anyone in the future
I really can't speak highly enough of Ison Harrison and their team, they acted on our behalf for our recent house purchase and a separate land transaction. Samantha and Leah were fantastic and dealt with these potentially complex transactions with the utmost professionalism and tact, expediting the process whenever possible and keeping us informed at every stage. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services and will certainly be using them again in future, absolutely top service ***
Their service was very very terrible,agreed to represent us as their clients for a property we were purchasing and just before contracts were exchanged decided to stop acting on our behalf without any reason even when asked and provided everything needed
I’m a Landlord who has sold multiple properties over the last two years and the Guiseley branch are fantastic. Really friendly very efficient and they communicate clearly and in a really timely manner.
AVOID AVOID AVOID. at the Guiseley branch, especially Rebecca Austin. This woman thinks £££££ Took on my very frail 92 year old Mothers will 2 weeks before she died. Without checking her capacity to understand everything this woman has said to her. Mum was at the beginning of Dementia, the denial stage and was starting to get tested but kept cancelling the visits. Mum thought her next door neighbour was a solicitor too but wasn’t, they just manipulated her into going with Ison Harrison’s at Guiseley. At the time of Rebecca going round to mums to take on another will Mum had a broken wrist from a fall, her hand and arm was completely black but never asked what Mum had done. Although the fall was a week before Rebecca came to Mums house, and still made her sign the will with a heavily bruised hand. At the time of Mums death I rang Rebecca to inform her of the sad news. At no point did this woman pass on her condolences!!! Rebecca has breached GDPR twice ! Accusations and assumptions towards us without checking facts first. I sent a complaint in as per their protocol, and after eight weeks not had an acknowledgment or reply. Please look up the protocol for Ison Harrison solicitors. I asked a question with regards to certification of my self and daughter never got an answer to my question, but came back avoiding the direct question. Myself and my daughter work at a vets and wanted to know if the senior vets could certify. I already knew the answer but they just wouldn’t respond. Rebecca just seems applied to making our lives even more difficult.
From the outset Ison Harrison was efficient in their dealings with myself and my sister.Paperwork was completed promptly and communication was excellent.After a few glitches the sale of our late mother’s house went through on time.At all times excellent communication.Many thanks !
Efficient conveyancing from Leashia and the Ison team. A pleasure to deal with on the sale of our property.
An excellent journey with Ison Harrison who helped with the selling of our old home and the purchase of a new build home. The process was very easy and simple with nearly all the various forms we needed to complete being available online. No pages to print out, complete or post back. We were easily able to access the completed documents again after we had submitted them when needed for future reference. Kirsty Blinkhorn and her team provided help promptly by email or over the phone if we had any queries. Ison Harrison were recommended by Miller Homes. Their professional charges for the purchase of our new home were very competitive against the terms on offer from a local solicitor. I'd have no hesitation in recommending them.
If I could give ZERO stars I would. I would avoid these useless solicitors at all cost. They do not know what they are doing and have left me with a situation I would never have dreamt in a million years. I bought a property which did not have proper planning permission and I was never alerted to this. All they are after is your hard earned money. They were supposed to get indemnity insurance from the sellers solicitors Gordon Brown law and I would avoid them at all cost as they have not done what they were supposed to do. I have complained to Rachel Warsop who is useless and never returns your calls. I will be seeking compensation via Litigation Solicitor when my current transaction completes. These lot must think they are above the law but have a shock coming their way very soon.
I am the client of Afzal Patel who has been assigned my family law case. Afzal has been fantastic across all aspects of the case. From providing face to face consultancy to providing input into key legal documents Afzal has been excellent. I attended a hearing in order to obtain an occupation order on my property and Afzal provided great advice and direction to ensure I was able to navigate each part of the hearing in the best way possible. I was successful in obtaining the occupation order which was largely down to the great advice and input from Afzal and Ison Harrison.
We had an appointment with Jordan to complete and sign a will, he was very friendly and polite. Very happy with his service all round. The premises in Castleford are difficult to access with a large amount of steep steps. My sister dropped us off at the front and pulled in off the busy road to the car park at the side to wait. Unfortunately she had an extremely rude exchange with a Mr. Richard Pinto who blocked her in in the car park, shouting and being generally disrespectful. Very abrupt man, no manners. We will not be carrying out any further business with the company.
Claire Loftus from the Bingley office has just completed a conveyance for us. From start to finish she has been unlike any conveyancer I’ve used before - really responsive and easy to get hold of, made the process really simple, really easy to communicate with and most importantly just gets what needs to be done promptly and efficiently. Would definitely recommend and I will use them again for any future work that needs doing
Leah and Samantha from Bingley have been excellent, it is the second time I’ve used this firm and they always answered every question or email asap and have made the purchase of my new house brilliant! Would highly recommend using them! Thanks again for everything!

Jun 03,2024Leashia & Sarah from the Guiseley Branch were fantastic. The communication was incredibly quick and all my questions were answered quickly & in a way that I was able to understand. The whole process was very quick too, for which I'm very grateful. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
