Moore Blatch Reviews 3

In an incredibly time pressured and stressful situation with a complicated re-mortgage involving other solicitors and multiple factors as well as a not particularly helpful bank, I have to say Nicky Kaur at Moore Barlow was outstanding.
Somehow she managed to get everything done in time and even managed to shield me from some of the pressure and stress applied from the other solicitors involved. She was calm and professional and reassuring throughout.
I couldn't have asked for a better service.
Many Thanks Nicky

The service we received from Moore Barlow (previously Moore Blatch) was absolutely terrible from start to finish. We believed that as our legal representatives for our first house purhcase they would help guide us through the process, but in fact their lack of knowledge particularly to do with the Help to Buy scheme was quite profound. This meant we had to do the research ourselves to double check everything and inform them of the scheme. 2 or 3 times they actually put our purchase in jeopardy, initially by telling us we weren't eligible for HtB due to the purchase price, something I had to inform them is a higher threshold in London. Secondly, they told us one more than one occasion that were weren't eligible to claim the Government Bonus 25% from our HtB ISAs in addition to using the HtB Equity scheme, which is incorrect, something which could have cost us around £4K in unreceived govt bonus. There were a number of other mistakes and quite frankly we found them to be rather abrupt. We were charged for things without being told so our legal fees ended up being really quite expensive to what we could have got but we went with them as they were recommended by the developer so we assumed we'd receive good service. The actual Solicitors or even Conveyancers at Moore Barlow never interact with you or handle your case so you are left with Legal Executives, or such, that clearly are not qualified and knowledgeable enough to do the job. Very frustrating dealing with them adding to the stress of moving house. I would avoid using this company in future

We used Moore Blatch when we first bought our house. The Southampton branch were absolutely fantastic and very easily approachable.
Whenever we had any questions they'd always try and get back to us as soon as possible.

Very professional and courteous.
