Im not sure where I begin. I have been going through a purchase since February 2022.It still isn’t complete, I have had to find a new lender due to offer expiring down to the slow and half arsed attitude of levi solicitors. I have now had to appoint a new solicitor as they’re not recognized by the new lender, which is a god send.Throughout the whole process, it’s been “no time scale” “I’ll have a reply end of the week” “I’ll have a reply start of next week”. In reality this has been weeks and weeks on end and it’s been just a hellish of a journey. There seems to be no urgency or care to getting it complete.Everything they send through is written in riddles, now I’m no expert and I need someone to explain it without all the jargon. I ask for phone calls, I get an email - all which are not very friendly. The only time you can get though is if you ring, but it’s always a “he’s busy can I get him to call you back” and I never get that call.Extra fees popping up left right and center that wasn’t in the additional quote. The search fees were £428.20, and my new solicitors have quoted me £196.60. So I guess I have been ripped of slightly there.They a lot surprised me with leasehold fees of £500 for Deed or covenant and all the other bits, this new solicitor takes the hit in this.I just feel that levi solicitors is a bit of a money making firm rather than a duty of care to get it done smoothly and efficiently. I have spoke to many friends (3/4) during my process who have purchased recently, or last year and asked who I have got as my solicitors, every time I explain it’s levi solicitors, they say they had nothing but the same issues. Since this time the estate agents no longer recommend these solicitors due to the amount of poor feedback from the (I have been told).All my friends are first time buyers and all their purchases are no chain, still taking between 4-6 months.I would definitely look around for other solicitors as there is much better out there. You do get what you pay for, however these are so expensive and are also very very poor and feel they take on more clients than they can handle and provide a good service. If you do use these, I hope you have a much more pleasant experience.
