SB Lawyers Limited Reviews 

Incompetent doesn’t cover it. Avoid!!

The conveyancing work done by Rachel Hughes-Lewis was glacial, inaccurate, and tardy, with numerous errors (including my name on the contract!!), almost losing me the purchase.
I only spoke to members of staff twice or thrice, being at the mercy of their automated answering service or sending emails and chasing responses or risking delays in progress spanning over multiple weeks. Rachel failed to communicate being on leave around the projected time of completion, despite being notified when the seller and I hoped to do so, was unable to provide clear guidance for documentation around proof of funds and required repeated and very frustrating reiteration of questions she overlooked over more than a month - I’m not sure she was sure what was, in fact, required and could not provide clear guidance other than saying whether submissions I produced were sufficient or not. I believe that the only reason completion was finally prioritised was the threat of the seller terminating the sale and myself Involving the estate agency who recommended Spickett Battrick, claiming that this would make the process faster. LOL. Six months post sale, I’ve now received a penalty notice from HMRC for late Land Tax Registration and outstanding payment of the penalty - the registration was filed three months late and only half the penalty was paid, despite SB charging a tidy sum for registering stamp duty and land tax on my behalf.

I cannot emphasise enough how poor their service was and I would not be surprised should further issues arise from their incompetence and errors.

AVOID!! Save yourself the trouble of the endless headache of dealing with such a circus.

Great experience from Benjamin and Kristina ,both very efficient and excellent communication,carried out the sale of my mothers house swiftly and professionally and in a timely manner, keeping us informed all the way,would recommend this law firm for house conveyancing

Wonderful service from Sam and Sion and I want to extend my special thanks to Ellie-Mae for her patience with me. The whole process was not all that smooth, but they always made time for me whenever they were available.

Kudos to the team!

A fantastic service from start to finish. Thorough, responsive, great communication and responded with urgency. Very happy with the service I received.

Afraz and Benjamin were both incredibly helpful throughout our house purchase process. There were a number of difficulties that were outside of our & their control but they constantly kept us in the loop with what was happening and were always quick to respond to any enquiries we had.

In particular, when timescales became extremely tight towards the end due to our mortgage offer expiring, Afraz went above and beyond to ensure that we were able to complete on time.

We would not hesitate to use them again in future.

I am so glad I used this company. Communication could not have been easier and I also got a quick response to any questions I had putting my mind at rest of things I didn’t understand. They are efficient and friendly and I will definitely recommend
Them or use them again in the future. Many thanks for making a difficult time easier.

I had a amazing solicitor (Laura scrivens) who was so supportive and reliable - a person who always kept me informed and reassured, a person who supported me right through the whole process - a person who I felt went above and beyond for me -I would fully recommend Laura as a solicitor she’s a absolute wounderful women/solicitor.

Brilliant service as usual from Marie, Adam and team at SB Pontypridd.

Kept in the loop throughout the process and are always on hand for any questions that arise. Thank you very much!

Benjamin and Khrystyna were excellent in my house sales process - they were very responsive both to me personally and others involved in the sales process (buyers solicitor and estate agents).

So my previous review was deleted, saying: ...was flagged for containing defamatory content...
Honestly, what a joke. We are not allowed to tell the truth as they feel assaulted??? What about us, who emotionally, psychologically and financially was affected???
I ll leave another review and will come back each time they will delete it.

Sarah Tyrell lost our purchase. She does not know how to do her job. She wasted time, wasted money and has left us financially stricken. Instead of going to details (wasting time as they will not like the truth and will delete) just read the other negative reviews of HER!
Just avoid Sarah Tyrell, simple like that :(

I used SB Law in Pontypridd to sell my property and purchase a new one, and unfortunately, the service I received was very poor. They made multiple errors in the paperwork, which caused unnecessary delays, and there were also mistakes on the final cash invoice. One of the errors in the final statement was miscalculating the Land Tax to a completely different amount – something that should be simple to work out.

Communication was extremely slow, with emails and phone calls often going unanswered for long periods. When staff members went on annual leave, there was no proper handover, meaning my case was left unattended with no one taking responsibility.

Overall, I found SB Law in Pontypridd to be disorganised, unresponsive, and unprofessional. Based on my experience, I would not recommend them.

This review is based on my personal experience and opinions. I encourage anyone considering SB Law to do their own research and form their own opinion before using their services.

The best service I’ve ever received. Constant communication through ellie mae, always keeping me in the loop with my house purchase, and such a quick service. My house purchase went through in just 3.5 months, could have gone through quicker as well if it wasn’t for my seller being in a chain themselves. Can’t thank Samantha enough for her all help 😊

Dear Ryan,

I just wanted to take a moment to express our sincere thanks for all your support during the sale of our property. Despite the challenges, particularly with the first buyer pulling out, we felt completely reassured by your expertise and guidance throughout the process.

From start to finish, the whole experience was much smoother than we anticipated, and that’s largely due to your prompt communication and attention to detail. Your professionalism made what could have been a stressful situation much more manageable, and we truly appreciate everything you’ve done to help us reach completion.

Thank you once again for all your hard work and support.

Best regards.

everything was dealt with efficiently and promptly. Friendly and helpful

Thank you to Ryan and the team for the exceptional service once again whilst we purchased our new home. Emails and phone calls were answered promptly to support an efficient process. I can’t praise the team enough, they made the process simple and stress- free and I am so pleased that a colleague recommended their services to us last year - truly exceptional!

We had an excellent conveyancing team under Benjamin Eaton. At the start, Benjamin set the ball rolling but the bulk of the work was done by Afraz George Inayat.
Every stage was explained to us in a way we understood and where choices needed to be made, these too were explained.
Despite the whole process taking just over 6 months, we have nothing but praise for the work done on our behalf, especially the chasing to try speeding things up.
We would definitely use Spicketts again.

Wonderful, professional service.
Zooiyal and Olivia ensured that everything went smoothly and professionally.
Excellent communication and very prompt, courteous, helpful sevice.
Would highly recommend.
Thank you both.

Very happy with the conveyancing service I received from Anna & Nikita.
Was kept updated throughout the process, and everything was handled efficiently.

I cannot fault Samantha Cavender-Wilson. She handled our matter with patience and professionalism. Samantha and her team guided me through the process and answered every question I had (and there were lots!)
Buying a house is the most stressful, frustrating experience but Samantha and her team guided me through with expertise and compassion. Could not recommend enough!

Thank you to the conveyancing team at Albany Road, Cardiff branch Benjamin, Alfraz & khrystyna. Good communication and all completed with no complications.
