“Hard to reach on the phone, lack of communication”

★★☆☆☆

written by SteveFigueroa on 12/03/2016

The only time I got through to the phone with my solicitor was when I was deciding whether to use withy king, ever since the proper paper to appoint them was signed, I was never able to get through to my solicitor on the phone again. They never send me emails giving instructions about what to do. Definitely lack of communication with me, and with vendor's solicitor. In the end I had to jump in and use the estate agent to contact vendor directly. Promised manuscript amendment which I'm still waiting for after completion (tbh I don't think I'll ever get it).

“Blackballed”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Jarvisxa105 on 22/02/2016

Personal injury case medical expert the solicitor chose was sexual offender according to the press reports and when solicitor told, he soon afterwards blackballed my case as he told me to go to someone else when in a few weeks limitation period to file claim in the court was ending. Just for basically picking a medico expert the solicitor claimed about £4000-5000 from the insurer of the defendant. Don't believe anything about them in the legal directories. These solicitors also gave a job to an employee from the defendant.

“They are hopelessly slow and ineffective”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Averi255 on 03/12/2015

We trusted them with a relatively straightforward conveyance issue. Apart from the fact that it takes ages for them to deal with it, they are also not asking the right questions. They take ages to deal with a simple matter, they are hopeless at communicating with their clients and when one contacts them they attribute all delay and problems to the other party's solicitor. I am very disappointed by this firm and will not be using them again. They are entirely ineffective. We have had to use both the conveyance and the litigation departments but they were both pretty poor. Unfortunately, I know other firms which are even worse. It's absolutely astounding that so many solicitors are a disgrace to their profession and instead of doing a job competently and efficiently, they simply charge clients over the odds. For what?

“Astoundingly rude and unhelpful ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by 1966Maxwell on 30/09/2015

In a similar position to another reviewer on this site and having the same problems with this company. No chain on either side and yet 4 and a half months later, we are still in the process. Getting in touch is problematic at best, phone calls are rarely returned and further information requested is never chased up unless we request it or do it ourselves. As it stands we are on the verge of pulling out due to the lengths of time this has taken when they have had the information from the beginning. This would not be such a problem, if the follow up phone call was not made by someone who spoke down to me in such a rude way. Making out that any issues were of course not due to the them; the length of time was also not anything to do with them ether. Overall, I am pretty disgusted by the way I was spoken to today. Very poor and unprofessional experience.

“useless”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 16/10/2014

Didn't know the local solicitor we had chosen was under the umbrella of Withy King....if we had we wouldn't have touched them with a bargepole! We used them with Chancellors "move with us" and they were nothing short of useless. We were shunted around a number of different people each time we made contact. Nobody EVER returned a phone call and the sale (bearing in mind there was no chain either side) took four and a half months to complete! Unfortunately we have just used them again and on asking us for original documents they lost a driving license! Eventually this was found thankfully but without an apology. We have received very short/curt letters without headings ie "Dear Mr & Mrs ***" or signing off names etc. Disgusting behaviour from so-called professionals....not to mention the extortionate fee. Never again! Will definitely not use them again and will let every one we know how they operate.

“Worst customer service - House sale”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Winston231 on 01/10/2014

They switched solicitors dealing with the account on 6 occasions! Not only that they managed through an incorrect comment nearly lost the sale. They asked for my account information on 4 occasions. Terrible customer service! Can't tell you how bad they are!

“Construction Litigation”

★☆☆☆☆

written by mudhar on 19/08/2014

I looked into a Solicitor who was a partner, she then left and I was assigned another solictor. Dragged his heals, was not given proper legal advice and charged the earth. Then whilst I am dealing with the complaint they threatend me with Debt Recovery. I did not even recieve my reply from them. Avoid Withy King, worst experience in my life and charge the earth. The solicitor I had was hopeless.

“Couldn't recommend enough!”

★★★★★

written by Rubens1947 on 23/05/2014

I approached Withy King with a possible dental negligence case in 2011 and I have found them faultless from the first. The solicitor I was assigned was not only knowledgable but also very kind and understanding in all her dealings with me and my family. I am no previous knowledge of the law and can honestly saw I was far from understanding the ins and outs but with my solicitors help I was able to understand how the case was going to work and what avenues of law we would be going down to try and get justice for my case. The fees were worth every penny as we won the case and the fees back as a consequence so it was worth in all in the end. If i had any further problems in the medical field of law I would always approach Withy King again and even if it was not in this field I would go to Withy King about any issue and see what they might be able to recommend as I highly value and trust their opinion.

“Terrible Service, Slow to Respond”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 15/11/2013

I sold and my buyer used Withy King. Both the buyer and I were really keen to make progress on the transaction, but Withy King held the process up terribly. For example, Withy King held the transaction up for three weeks over a covenant that dated back to 1860 prescribing that any fences at the front of the house had to be less than 6ft high! To make matters worse, the staff at WK are brusque and really rather rude, which may reflect a lack of time and overwork rather than anything else. I came inches from abandoning my buyer and returning to market, including instructing the estate agent to relist the property. If you want a quick sale or you're a buyer who wants to keep a seller sweet, do not even consider using this company.

“Painful experience and totally unhelpful”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 31/07/2013

How I wish I had read this before being suggested Withy King by Chancellors! All of what you say is totally true... I never have my calls returned or my emails answered... I have taken to calling the main reception or assistants in order to get an answer. I've just spoken to my sols assistant to be told she is unavailable and very busy in meetings - But on pushing for information the assistant "bumped" in to her and could answer some of my queries... I have had guesstimates at my exchange date for weeks now and even though this friday has been suggested, they are still awaiting "certain things"... Nothing is being chased or done... Shocking service and making the whole sale process (which is chain free on both sides) incredibly painful. Chancellors get paid by Withy King for sending clients over.

“excellent commercial conveyancing”

★★★★★

written by on 17/06/2013

I run a small property group and withy king handle all our transactions. They recently handled the slightly tricky purchase of a small hotel from a family estate. The sellers did not our task easy and there were some interesting negotiations that were handled with great skill. We were pleased to have the withy king team alongside us. Many thanks.

“Withy King - avoid!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 16/03/2013

I was recommended Withy King by Chancellors 'Move with us' service after accepting an offer to sell my house. The Withy King staff is simply too busy to give you any time, they are not interested at all in your individual case. Letters are missed in post, never arrived; never return phone calls, incomplete answers to basic questions by email. Questions like can we set an exchange date? This sail is a simple a basic transaction not a complicated sale. After 4 weeks of delays I am now changing solicitor. Chancellors should not recommend a solicitor like this. Are they getting kickback?

“Do not use for conveyancing. Useless”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 24/02/2013

I was recommended Withy King by Chancellors 'Move with us' service. As I was buying a repossession property I wanted the assurance of no fee if the sale fell through, so this was ideal. The Withy King Conveyancing assistants (not solicitors) are simply too busy to give you any time, they are not interested at all in your individual case. It has taken over a week to get a reply to a basic question by e-mail and even then not answering the question fully. Really really poor service over all... Stay clear if you are moving house !!

“worst experience ever”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Unsatisfied1000000 on 11/02/2013

Other people find their services with injury claims as outstanding. I want to share my experience when buying a home was a horrifying experience. As first time buyer I was recommended their services by mortgage bureau. Things only moved when I rang or e-mailed them. Nothing was done and usual time scale was always delayed. Information provided was rubbish to a point that on completion date they needed some more documents and so on. They might be good with injury claims as they tend to be more profit orientated. BE AWARE and do not use them for anything else.

“Medical Negligance Claim”

★★★★★

written by BecciSimpson on 12/10/2012

I found Withy King through the Law Society as they specialised in personal injury claims caused by clinical negligance. From my first telephone call through to the final settlement I was extremely impressed by their service. They took time to meet me face to face so I could explain all of the facts to them, they understood my frustrations and my desire to settle this case. They kept me informed at all items and although decisions were mine they always offered guidance and "best practise" recommendations I never felt pressuried to do as they said. I would definitely use their services again and recommend them to friends and family.
