I bought a property and used Holdens Solicitors. I was constantly having to chase things up! I never received any updates unless I rang to see if there was any news and it was always the same answer - no. The solicitor would 'then' email the sellers solicitor. Weeks would pass and the solicitor hadn't chased anything up or checked to see if they had received the paperwork they were waiting for or even if they had received replies to their emails. Then suddenly we were exchanging contracts and completing within a few days! Then I received a phone call to say I could collect the keys from the estate agents, luckily I rang them first to check, I was told they were still waiting for confirmation from the sellers solicitors so had to wait about 4 hours before collecting them! I am still not able to move in to the property due to the exchange of contracts taking so long; the carpets, furniture, etc had to be ordered and as we only exchanged 3 days before completion this has caused me so many problems! If the solicitor had chased things up we could have exchanged contracts much earlier, even if the completion wouldn't have been for ages at least I would have been able to order the carpets, furniture etc and had it arrive sooner! I was so looking forward to moving in to my new home but it has all been ruined! I have been caused so much stress, to the point of being ill! I would not recommend Holdens Solicitors again!
