At the start of our house move journey I half-jokingly remarked to our estate agent that the conveyancing profession in the UK needed a disruptor such as Amazon to enter the market and turn it on its head, by doing things differently – and much better – than the industry norm that those of us who have bought or sold houses before have come to expect. To me there seemed to be so many opportunities, some of it quite “low hanging fruit”, to work more efficiently and deliver service improvements to the client, including through better use of technology. One gets the impression from many conveyancing firms that nothing has changed, that this is a profession stuck firmly in the 20th century.
We were delighted to find that Roberts Crossley (who we stumbled across looking on Trustpilot for top-rated solicitors) have already achieved many of the new ways of doing things that a good market disruptor might deliver. They make great use of technology to achieve efficiencies (and cost savings for the business too, I’m sure), they are accessible and communicative, being quick to respond to emails, and often your conveyancer will even answer the phone if they’re available when you call, or if not call you back later. They are supportive, seeming to actually ‘get’ that you are the client, who at the end of the day pays their wages – this should of course be the norm, but sadly it’s not. And they are efficient and work much quicker than one is accustomed too from prior experiences – and in particular, recognise times in the process when this might be especially important. I particularly liked that they have an option for an expedited service offering fast, guaranteed response times should this be needed, for a very reasonable additional fee.
Ben who gets regular favourable mentions in reviews here was our paralegal; he certainly delivers the excellence as described above, and is very personable and approachable. We had a slightly more complex process than the norm, selling two homes separately owned to purchase our first home together, plus as we were buying a new build that was also more complex and time-critical, due to the slightly unreasonable demands developers typically place on you. With Ben we felt in a very safe pair of hands throughout, even more so when having secured an excellent plot for our new build, one of our buyers wobbled and withdrew, which for a while was in danger of putting the purchase we thought we’d secured in jeopardy. During this critical time Ben could not have been more supportive, as we worked to put in place a ‘plan B’ to ensure we didn’t lose our new dream home!
When I write such a glowing (and deserved) review I like to pause and ask myself, is there anything the company could improve? The only thing I can think of, on occasion in the process we stumbled upon what was no more than a careless, silly (and unforced) error in something that had been sent to us. Each was relatively trivial, but given all the positives we experienced as detailed here, we did find this a little surprising and unexpected. We’re not sure if these mistakes were made when rushing, and the odd one will always slip through. But if a way could be found to tweak up the attention to detail for the small things as much as the big and important things, that would only further enhance the company’s obvious pursuit and delivery of excellence.
I have used Robert’s Crossley’s Solicitors a couple of times now, once for a purchase and then for a sale, and Jonathan Davey has always been prompt and proactive in dealing with my case. The communication is excellent and the cost is competitive.I would definitely recommend Jonathan and RC Solicitors.
Big thanks to all at Robert Crossley Solicitors, especially Katy for dealing with our recent purchase of a flat and three flats last year. Katy was very efficient as usual and got us over the line in quick time with great communication at all times.Thanks again
I can highly recommend John Roberts at Roberts Crossley Solicitors. He has completed several propery sales and lease extensions for me. He is very efficient and is available to answer questions during the process, providing excellent service.
