Terrible firm. You get what seems like a cheap quote, but the end bill with inflated add-ons make this firm more expensive than more reputable and experienced firms out there. It's worth paying a bit... See more

It never matches with quote

I've dealt with buying of my new property and selling of old, so it happened twice for me with additional charges. I had good interaction for buying and selling, but when it comes to fees, not great. I've communicated that I have got cheaper quote from conveyancing websites, and I've moved from different one to nero legal, but I was wrong. They never stand by on the quote amount. I've dealt with 3 people from this firm, they have helped me for property no doubt, but they kept saying it's not in their hands for final settlement, I ended up spending additional 800 pounds. so there are better options available if you ask me, I'm not only customer for them, they are not only firm to us.

Excellent Conveyance Solicitors

I recently purchased a property using Nero Legal as I read their previous reviews. Well they never failed to impress me as the conveyance was very smooth with fantastic communication. I have used previous conveyance solicitors before but I will honestly say that Nero Legal are definitely a cut above the rest, and I highly recommend them to anyone who wants a smooth transaction.

Excellent service

We recently used the services of Nero Legal to purchase a second home. Having bought and sold a few properties in the last few years we have had some questionable service from others to say the least, however, Rachael at Nero made this the smoothest most hassle free transaction yet. Highly recommended.

Lots of stress during a house buy and you would expect support and understanding from Solicitors but not in this office.Please improve communication and staff training in terms of customers experience and training with first time buyers questions.We had 3 different people dealing with our case plus lots of disinformation during our calls or vauge responses to our emails or just a lack of the responss.I would go back if only those issue would be addressed.

Big thank you to Riona McGuire

Big thank you to Riona McGuire
After a bad experience with a Dundee Solicitor decided to try Nero Legal and I have to say every thing worked out very well due to the hard work of Riona. I am sure we weren't the easiest of clients and it wasn't straight forward, I noticed some negative reviews on here but I have to say this was not my experience, would not hesitate to recommend Nero Legal.

We used Ms R Sweeney from the conveyancing department on this occasion having previously instructed colleagues. She is a very informed professional with a good eye for detail. We would not hesitate to recommend.

Quite disorganised

Unfortunately, I am quite disappointed with the service received from Nero Legal. I emailed and called several times in advance of my mortgage decision to ask if I needed to provide anything additional and I was told nothing was required. Two days before my closing date I was asked for a variety of different documents that needed to be signed by another solicitor which meant I needed to take time off work to get them in time. This also created lots of panic and uncertainty around whether my closing date would be maintained. I was not advised that I needed to draw down my Help to Buy ISA up to 30 days in advance and this led to issues with my bank. Although communication is relatively prompt, the disorganisation meant I had to take two unplanned half days off work to gather documentation within very close proximity to my agreed closing date. In addition, I was not provided with the correct keys and had to go get them off an estate agent myself. It was horrible to arrive at my newly purchased flat as a first-time buyer only to find myself unable to get in. Unfortunately, I would not recommend.

Professional and friendly service

I dealt with Karen and Rachael at Nero Legal and both were super helpful and always willing to answer my questions. As a first time buyer I had many! Particularly as I'm English and not used to Scottish property law.

Thanks for all your help, I'm very happy in my new flat.

Extra fees on top of initial quote

I contacted Nero Legal to act for me in buying a flat. I spoke to them on the phone to check that their quote wouldn't have any extras added, but then when I received the paperwork it turned out that there would be lots of extra fees. I contacted them again and this time they confirmed the extra fees. When I complained they then said that I wasn't entitled to complain because I wasn't a customer, despite me having a customer account number by this point. I went elsewhere as they were going to work out really expensive, and they wasted a week by having lied about the extra fees.

It is ridiculous that they are now trying to get my review removed more than 2 years after it was posted. If they don't think that I was a customer then why did they give me a customer account number at the time (which I no longer have a record of because my review was over 2 years ago!), and why did they think that they could then send me marketing emails which they could only attempt to justify by claiming that I had a customer relationship with them?

If my review is removed then I will take both Trustpilot and Nero Legal to the Advertising Standards Authority for treating negative reviews differently to positive reviews which is a recognised form of misleading advertising.

Thank you for a very professional service

Nero Legal provided first class legal services and as such I was able to move into my new property last week. Any time I phoned or emailed my query was answered promptly. The conveyancer who assisted in purchasing my new home had a great attitude and in particular her calm demeanor helped me cope with the anxiety I was under due to delays from the lender. It was greatly appreciated and I would definitely recommend Nero Legal and use them again in the future.
