Kevills Solicitors

Really pleased with the conveyancing service provided by Kevills, we used them for both the Sale of our old home and Purchase of a new build property. The whole process was relatively painless and we were kept informed about every step taken along the way. Katie was direct and professional. She always responded promptly to emails, posted the relevant forms to us without delay and went above and beyond in terms of service during the unprecedented challenge that was Covid-19. Katie made every effort to ensure that we could move home ASAP. I'd have no issue recommending Kevills to others.

It is exceptionally rarely that anyone would say that their conveyancing solicitor has gone above and beyond the call of duty and exceeded their expectations. And Kevills certainly didn't disappoint in this regard. They seem to be an exceptionally average solicitors in the conveyancing marketplace. Nothing particularly went wrong with our house sale, but equally nothing was done to raise this review from a 3 (really 2.5) stars to 4 or 5. In common with all other conveyancing solicitors it seems to be too much effort to get things moving quickly, with up to a week going by before my responses to questions would be sent back to the buyers solicitors. No-one questions sudden periods of nothing happening - assuming that the buyer & seller are too dim to understand solicitor matters and it is not worth keeping us informed. It is commonly thought that all conveyancing solicitors want their clients to believe that it is a complex, long-winded process which you would be unable to undertake yourself. On the contrary, in the majority of cases, it is a tick-box exercise which anyone with a bit of common sense could do. However, it is simpler to pass the job to a conveyancing solicitor, who is relatively cheap in the overall house buying cost. And therein lies the problem. They are doing the work too cheaply, so are not motivated to do it quickly, despite both buyer and seller usually champing at the bit to get things done & dusted. If a conveyancing solicitor told me that they would charge me double their usual rate, but would get the job done in 5 weeks rather than 10, I would grab that offer very quickly! I'd much rather be giving a 5 star review here, but our solicitor did nothing to warrant anything so exciting. Exceptionally average, is the best praise I can muster.

Vicky handled my divorce efficiently and the outcome was good .

Most incompetent law firm I've ever had any dealing with. Dishonest and a disgrace to the profession.

George knows everything about what law actually is and can spell things out in easy to understand English in only a few minutes of your time. He is a very talentented solicitor, very genuine and a real tresure to Lancashire.
