They probably do work work for others, but for us....
In Autumn 2020 we put offers for two properties. The process was horrendous, because of difficulties with the lender (LendInvest) and the lender’s demands to use their own solicitors - Birketts. The lender took a long time to respond. Then they insisted on using their own solicitor (Birketts), instead of using our solicitors, as the big banks do. True, the lender did offer that we could use their solicitor, but we had already contractually committed to our solicitors. To buy a modest house with a modest mortgage, no chain, took from October to April! While much of this was the lender’s fault, Birketts were unresponsive, inept and several times seriously wrong. Birketts insisted on doing searches afresh and would not take the already gathered evidence into account. They demanded indemnities for matters that were already dealt with elsewhere. On both house purchases, I had to tell our solicitors, and the lenders, that the figures that Birketts had asked us to send to them to complete the deal were WRONG.
Birketts may do excellent work for their bespoke services. But we got the strong feeling that they used junior/inexperienced staff to do high volume conveyancing work. They adopted a tick box strategy that pushed costs and effort onto other people. This brought anxiety and tears to vendors and purchasers alike, for what were simple transactions.

We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your recent interaction with Birketts.
Birketts has a dedicated and experienced team of lawyers who handle the LendInvest work, both on a dual and single representation basis. We understand that on this occasion you chose to use your own solicitors, so we were therefore acting for the lender only on this occasion.
In acting for the lender, Birketts’ duty of care is to ensure that the requirements of the lender are satisfied and for this we rely on the requisite information from your appointed solicitors. These can include searches and up-to-date replies to enquiries, and in the case of title defects, indemnity insurance can be required by the lender as a practical solution.
As Birketts was not your appointed lawyers all communication was between our firm and your appointed lawyer, as to communicate with you directly would be against professional courtesy.
