Spencer Elliott Property Lawyers

We’ve used Spencer Elliott a number of times, but most recently for the purchase of our family the home. The staff have always been amenable to our circumstances and gone above and beyond to make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible. I would highly recommend Spencer Elliott.

We used Spencer Elliott for both the sale of our previous home and the purchase of our new property, and we couldn’t be happier with the service they provided. Our purchase was far from straightforward, involving a country property as well as an additional parcel of land, which added complexity to the process. Throughout, the team at Spencer Elliott were exceptional. Their advice was clear, practical, and always given with our best interests in mind. What stood out most was their communication. We were kept fully informed at every stage, which made what could have been a stressful experience feel much more manageable. They were always available to answer questions and explain things in a way that gave us real confidence. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and proactive approach made a huge difference. Quite simply, we don’t think we could have navigated this process without them. We would highly recommend Spencer Elliott to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable conveyancing firm.

Spencer Elliott were amazing with helping us buy our first house, especially Vicky we couldn’t have done it without her. She was always there to answer our many questions and helped us understand every step of the way even during the crazy Christmas rush. Without them we wouldn’t be enjoying our lovely new home, thank you to everyone at Spencer Elliott!

I sold my house with Spencer Elliott but unfortunately I found my experience jarringly different to the other reviews I have read through here. Fundamentally the issues came down to communication and responsiveness. It felt like every email I sent would require chasing up at least twice before I received acknowledgement - this became a painful process and I came to accept that each time I needed an answer/update or to push things along it required a week lead time and multiple emails. I would say that I don't consider myself overly pushy or a micromanager, I wasn't asking for updates every other day: for the first month there was no communication between me and SE, then after which I was only asking for an update perhaps once every 2-3 weeks as the process dragged on with no real movement. There were times when I could compare responsiveness directly to that of the EA when they were both cced on an email. I received multiple updates throughout the day from the EA but nothing from SE until I chased up the following week. The final aspect was on the day we were due to exchange (a Friday to complete on the Monday) I had not had any update all week so had to chase in the morning. The response back was that there was an outstanding enquiry that had not been addressed which I had asked specifically about over a week prior but this question was ignored. This did eventually get resolved that day but delayed exchange and completion to the following week. I raised the issues with communications twice and both times there was deflections to the buyer's solicitors (who I will acknowledge were not great either and caused significant delays). I had already considered these points and was reasonable and understanding but my frustrations with SE were separate of this. Unfortunately my points were not really heard and there was no real change in their responsiveness. They did explain that they were very busy but this was presented as a reason rather than an apology for slow/poor service. Potentially they are great and responsive but chose to take on too much work. However if this was the case then I would prefer being told that they would be too busy to take me on as a client rather than leave me with the experience I had. Without the EA acting as an intermediary I don't know how long it would have taken us to complete the sale.

Spencer Elliott has ben an absolute pleasure to deal with. In my opinion the level of knowledge they possess is outstanding. The thing that really sets them apart is the level of service - I find it hard to believe it could be any better in anyway. I couldn't recommend the team at Spencer Elliott enough - a huge thank you from me. A truly wonderful group of knowledgeable people.
