Laker Legal Solicitors Omdömen 

Not willing to do minor matters or stamp a sworn document . Clearly just money orientated. Should not claim to deal with all matters should say min £300 before we can give a damm

I had a positive experience working with Laker Legal. Throughout the process, John Hirst was professional, responsive, incredibly patient and very supportive.

John took the time to understand my specific circumstances and tailored the documentation accordingly, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach. He explained all the relevant legal points clearly, answered my questions, and ensured I felt comfortable and informed at every stage.

I would not hesitate to recommend John and his team.

Thanks to Jess and Rebecca who dealt brilliantly with conveyancing for a property we purchased. It was not straightforward as it was a repossession in a rural area for which there was little of the needed information. Adding to that we needed to complete in 21 days which we were told was impossible by other solicitors. For a very reasonable extra fee they managed to make this happen and were in fact ready to complete a few days early! They worked hard and were always ready to answer our questions and have advice above what was expected of them. Highly impressive and mk uch recommended! Thanks Jess and Rebecca!

AVOID!

I used Laker Legal for conveyancing last year. I did this as I wanted a local firm to the properties in Kent. Their so-called Maidstone office is not where the work is done from, very misleading!

I was assigned to Jessica Blacow. Throughout the process she was unhelpful and downright rude! A sale and purchase which should have taken only a few months took over 8! This was a 3-person chain so not exactly complex. In the end, we nearly lost my mortgage offer due to her delays. Had I not chased regularly, I would have lost out.

Jessica Blacow was incredible throughout the process of buying an auction property. Jessica definitely went above and beyond to ensure the process was stress free as possible and smooth sailing.I would highly recommend Jessica , she was very informative and kept me up to date with any updates with the process and responded promptly with any enquiry’s I had.Jessica is friendly and very good at her job!!!Rebecca was also very helpful along this process and had good communication throughout.

Although we initially chose Laker Legal because we thought it was a local company we do not regret the decision for them to do the conveyancing for our recent house move despite them actually being 300 miles away in Lancaster. Jessica and Rebecca helped two 80 year olds navigate the technology-driven arena of modern day conveyancing and brought our sale and purchase to a satisfactory conclusion.

The team at Laker Legal made our conveyancing experience so much more manageable and the fact they always answer any queries and were on hand to respond is great. Jessica and Rebecca in particular went above and beyond for us to get us in on the required date.

Although I never got the outcome I was hoping for,I appreciate the amount of free advice I was given when needed

When you are buying a property and you need a conveyancing solicitor who not only understands all the details and which questions to ask, but is also friendly and an excellent communicator, ask for Jessica Blacow and her assistant Rebecca Lord. Laker Legal in Lancaster answer their phones on the second ring and someone will always get back to you in reasonable time frames.

Dennis and Barbara Hutchinson.

Jessica and Rebecca carried out our house purchase which included some difficult issues particularly that of a tenancy.

They supplied all of the documentation and results of the enquiries in an excellent and timely manner.

The completion began to look as though it would take some days with slow
exchanges, however Jessica solved the matter with a brilliant conclusion in two hours.

We believe that it could not have been done better and recommend Laker Legal for any conveyancing.

We had a very positive experience when using Laker Legal Solicitors. The advice and support received from Richard at Laker Legal was excellent and reassuring. The calm knowledgeable guidance was what was needed at a time of what was, for us, a very stressful experience. Thank you Laker Legal.

Brilliant service from start to finish with our property sale and purchase.

Susan met us at the Kings Hill branch to collect our documents and the whole team were brilliant throughout. Super prompt and highly efficient.

Laker Legal are well known in Kings Hill and the surrounding area and have provided excellent legal services for my family for many years. I throughly recommend Laker Legal .

Laker Legal Solicitors have efficiently carried out much work on my behalf over recent years including wills, powers of attorney and probate.
All work has been completed satisfactorily and in an efficient and effective manner. I have primarily dealt with Richard Hirst but have also met many of their team who have always been courteous and helpful.
I would have no problems in recommending them based upon my most satisfactory experience.

My parents in law recently used Laker Legal to buy their new house. We found them to be extremely efficient, helpful, friendly and competitive. We now intend to use them for our future move. Would highly recommend.

Excellent thank you

Brilliant service. Everything was explained clearly and handled smoothly. I felt completely at ease arranging my Power of Attorney. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for Power of Attorney services

The team at Laker Legal are really friendly and has always been a joy to deal with.

We used Laker Legal for conveyancing services from their fictitious Kings Hill office. (Turns out there is no office there; employees work from home.)The process was characterised by needless delays, errors, incompetence and appalling communication throughout. It is virtually impossible to speak with anyone. The director, Stephen Ogden was apparently permanently 'in a meeting' or 'away from his desk'. I complained about over charging and made numerous phone calls and sent two registered letters, but received no response. (Mr Ogden wasn't even capable of adhering to his own published complaints procedure.) Unsatisfactory and disappointing experience. I would advise anyone to avoid this firm.

Thank you to Jess & Becca in the conveyancing department. We are so grateful ! Fantastic service from start to finish.

I wouldn't recommend this firm at all for their conveyancing. My case was unfortunately assigned to Jessica Blacow, who was clearly not up to the job. She spent six weeks sending emails to the wrong email address for my buyer's solicitor, without ever questioning why she did not get a reply. She held up the entire chain - I had to field so many calls from my estate agent querying the hold up. The company then incredibly charged me extra because of this! It was extremely hard to get hold of anyone at the company most of the time - sometimes I was told solicitors were working from home and there were no direct lines to them, including the director Stephen Ogden. On exchange day, Jessica decided to leave the office at 3.30pm before exchange had happened, which made the day even more stressful. Furthermore, do bear in mind they are based in Lancaster and do not have any presence anywhere else, as they falsely claim on their website.
