Russell & Russell Solicitors LLP Anmeldelser 

I went to the office and asked for help completing forms for selling a house. When the solicitors assistant spoke to me she said get it up on your phone. I explained no internet and was told to just do my best then. I did expect the forms to be got up on a computer and discussed with me. When I signed the forms I took them to the office and asked could they be checked. The young lady on the desk said they look right to me, blame me if there not. Although I went to the Middleton office at first I was given a solicitor in Bolton which was further away. This was changed when I spoke to the older lady on reception who I found exceptional in trying to help. The documents sent to me the same day -one had my right name and the second spelt my name wrong. This was rectified quickly when I rang them.

Would highly recommend. We had a very lengthy purchase experience and Claire Holding in particular was lovely to liaise with. Always very friendly and helpful and always easy to contact!

I’ve used Zoe harrymans team for every house I’ve bought and sold. Always on the ball and always good at keeping you in the loop with what’s going on.

Just wish the buyers/sellers solicitors was the same.

Thanks andy

Helpful and efficient at sorting out our mortgage as first time buyers

Zoe Harriman and her team were brilliant. Got on with the job and got it done quickly and efficiently.

Russell and Russell handled our probate sale . From the moment they were instructed their communication has been fantastic and prompt . I have never had to chase would highly recommend.

Staff were pleasant and approachable. Emily was very helpful.

I used their services for purchasing our first home. They handled the case very professionally. From start to finish they were very serious about my maximum convenience. They are very reliable. They worked hard and very thoroughly about my case. In the end though I started to purchase a leasehold I ended up purchasing the freehold of the same property because of the problems they identified with the leasehold. They not only helped me but also shown path to the seller's solicitors about quickly purchasing the freehold. I can definitely recommend their expertise.

The only downside is that they sometimes miss emails. I requested a call back couple of times by email but they never called me back. However they are always reachable by phone and they always called me back on the same day whenever I requested a call back by phone and also whenever necessary they called me. They kept me up to date about the progress by email too.

A truly dismal experience. The service was consistently slow, reactive, and disorganised — exactly why conveyancing in this country has such a poor reputation.

The original solicitor handling my sale frequently went on leave without notifying us, leaving us with no way to progress the transaction or even get basic updates. We were left in the dark repeatedly, and despite the file being with them for over six months, we faced more than a month of avoidable delays at the point of exchange.

She eventually gave just two days' notice that she was leaving the firm entirely — and the transition to her replacement brought no improvement. The same delays, poor communication, and lack of urgency continued.

Even after raising a complaint (which was partially upheld), nothing changed. I had to chase at every step and felt like I was pushing water uphill the whole way.

It’s absolutely true — a solicitor can make or break a transaction. This firm very nearly broke mine. I chose them based on positive reviews, but in my experience, they were completely unfit for purpose. Avoid at all costs.

Fantastic legal experts! Very helpful & we would reuse them again in future!

Great service from start to finish buying our new property

Always keeping us updated

Zoe and her team was excellent

Dealt with lots of conveyancing solicitors over the years but found these guys to be proactive, knowledgable and helpful. Easy to contact, thorough and provide easy to follow information regarding what you are required to do to assist with a speedy completion.

Natasha and Emily handled my house purchase with professionalism and efficiency. They kept me informed throughout, were quick to respond, and made the process smooth and stress-free.I really appreciated how clearly everything was explained, and how proactive they were in keeping things moving. Highly recommended for conveyancing work!

R&R provided an excellent service throughout my dealings with them. Very thorough, helpful and adaptable. We had difficulty with Land registry in the way in which they had computerised their records (errors were made), but R&R dealt with these in their stride. Particular thanks to Blessing Alionye who picked up our case after several others, who had left the business, during the time it took to sell the house, not least because of the delays with Land registry - Many thanks.

Well communicated throughout and dealt with our business remortgage very efficiently.

Thanks

Russell and Russell were without a doubt the worse solicitors I've used to re-mortgage, their communication was non existent and the mortgage was dragged out so long we had to request the lender to extend the offer despite me emailing the solicitors several times asking what else they needed.
They left everything to the last second.

Never again. I had a very challenging experience with Russell &Russell for over a year. Multiple phone calls, voice mails, emailing and no reply for weeks. On many occasions the only way to get a response was to go in-store untill someone would talk to me. Our estate agents also struggled to get any updates and eventually it was done "as a courtesy". There was never even push or urgency to move things along and overall I had an awful experience. I can't see myself paying for your service again or recommending you to anyone. I'm sure this also stands true for my estate agents and the sellers estate agents.

Excellent service. Helpful and good communication throughout the process.

Absolutely terrible solicitors, I received a letter from Miss Rance asking if I could confirm that I was a relative of the late Mr Barfield which I quickly confirmed, after learning that they had a family tree of my family I asked if they could email a copy, after several emails, telephone calls and months later ,I was informed that a son had now been found and that I would no longer be eligible to inherit I asked again if they could possibly send me a copy via email, this morning I have finally received a reply to my request asking for £50 to do this.
Awful, awful firm would definitely NOT recommend

I recently worked with Zoe at Russell & Russell to purchase my new home, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the service I received. From the very beginning, Zoe was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. She kept me informed every step of the way, answered all my questions promptly, and made what can often be a stressful experience feel smooth and straightforward. Her attention to detail and dedication gave me complete confidence that everything was being handled with care. I highly recommend Zoe and the team at Russell & Russell to anyone looking for reliable, top-quality legal support when buying a property. Truly a five-star experience
