Fellowes Solicitors LLP

“Mike and Patrick were brilliant solicitors for my flat purchase.

They were diligent and detailed and really explained the process to me as a first time buyer. They were very prompt at updating me on issues and keeping me informed on progress. Would definitely recommend!

“AVOID IF YOU CAN.

Incompetent, slow and unresponsive. You’re better off going elsewhere. Similar to the reviewer below, I completed a sale / conveyancing using Fellowes two years ago and only discovered upon remortgaging this year that they had not made an application to Land Registry notifying them of the sale. This is a massive oversight as I was essentially paying a mortgage on a property I didn’t technically own. After contacting them multiple times I managed to get through, they made some poor excuses that they had follow up questions with the freeholder that hadn’t been responded to (I highly doubt this). Seems like it’s an excuse that they’re using for other similar instances. The partner on the case hasn’t even had the decency to correspond with me, she’s fobbed me off to her trainee solicitor. Marielyne Butler - you should be ashamed of yourself. Very disappointing experience that does not uphold the SRA principles.

“I purchased my first property through Fellowes solicitors in May 2023.

As I write this in May 2025, I am still awaiting my purchase to be registered with Land Registry. Despite chasing them several times by email and on the phone, I am just offered balderdash and piffles, like…. “After reviewing your application with HM Land Registry, I can confirm that it is still being processed. They have raised one additional requisition, which I have now addressed. I anticipate that the application will be completed shortly, most likely by the end of next week. I will provide an update and forward your registration documents as soon as I receive further correspondence from HM Land Registry.”….. those next weeks have come and long gone but the the registration of my property is still outstanding. They still owe me £30 which I doubt very much will ever be returned, not because they want to keep it but just for the sheer lack of care. I have since completed the purchase of a different property, through another solicitor, and the whole process took 3 months. Today, after 4 months since completion, I have already received confirmation of the registration of the second property being completed with Land Registry. What a difference it makes when your affairs are handled by an organised set of professionals.
