Affinity Seven Law Solicitors Reviews 

Would be Zero stars- after spending time looking for a solicitor for conveyancing and being upfront that the seller (me) didn’t want to use a solicitor as the property is one I inherited which my son agreed to buy of me and being told this is fine, we decided to opt for this firm. After signing paperwork, paying £300 deposit, and sending in proofs, we got told after 1-month that they decided they don’t want to do the conveyancing and signposting us to financial advisor. Not sure why I or we need financial advisor as surely lots of people inherit their parents property and a grandchild or sibling may buy it off you. Note that probate had been completed on the property and transferred over so this was not an issue. We also had poorly typed info, incorrect address, even the paperwork was sent to an empty house (that was being brought). I’m still waiting for a return of my deposit from this firm. Please be aware they are time wasters- like previous reviewer they don’t read the instructions or any emails otherwise they would know it’s a family property. I have updated this Review as they swiftly returned by money.

I am a first time buyer, I asked to proceed with a quote from their firm and they sent over the paperwork.

It was a mess, some very untidy MS Word documents, questions with no space to write answers in, their forms request payment in the form of a cheque with no alternative. Also I some how ended up dealing with two different people via e-mail and having to repeat information to each of them that I'd already passed onto the other.

I e-mailed them shortly after letting them know that I didn't feel comfortable with how non-user friendly the forms were, along with the payment method situation, and that I would be looking elsewhere.

They replied a day later ignoring this and just gave me alternate payment info.

I then reiterated the same day that I would be going with a different firm, thinking that was the end of it.

A month and a half later they call the SELLER, whom I had originally provided the details of. They asked the seller for my number, claiming that I was going to hire them.

Not only was this unprofessional beyond words, it's borderline fraud.

I had already explained twice that I was no longer going with them, the seller let me know about this today and thankfully didn't pass on my number since he has already been dealing with my actual solicitor for the past month.

This is what prompted the 1 star review, just a ridiculous situation.

Very happy with the service I received throughout my house buying process. As a first time buyer everything was explained promptly and understandably and all the work was done quickly with no real issues.

Thanks again to Kimberly, Sameera and Hannan, the people I dealt with.

I cannot recommend ASL highly enough. They have been efficient and responsive throughout the entire process of selling our home. Mr Waqar Khan, the solicitor acting on our behalf has responded to any queries we have had promptly and helped the whole process to be as stress free as possible.
