The Ongar team at PCS were so helpful in helping me purchase my first home - they were very easy to contact and always swift with responses and getting things done behind the scenes. Managed to get through a same day exchange and completion for me, due to their diligent chasing of the other side, and kept me posted throughout.

I cannot recommend Liam highly enough. He handled the purchase of my new home and is currently assisting with the sale of my existing property, and throughout the entire process he has been absolutely outstanding.
Moving house can be incredibly stressful, especially when managing both a purchase and a sale at the same time, but Liam has made everything feel so much more manageable. He is professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and always willing to take the time to explain things clearly. Communication has been excellent throughout, and I have always felt confident that everything was progressing as it should.
What really stands out is Liam’s dedication and attention to detail. He is proactive in keeping things moving, quick to address any issues that arise, and genuinely seems invested in achieving the best outcome for his clients.
The purchase of our new home completed smoothly thanks to Liam’s hard work and expertise, and he continues to provide the same exceptional service with the sale of our current property. I am incredibly grateful for all of his support and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, efficient, and genuinely caring solicitor.

We've just completed a new build purchase as a first time buyer. I dealt directly with Sophie Cornish, Alisha Chapman, and Miles Forsdike. There were a few minor delays, but they were constantly keeping me informed, and quick to respond to questions. Thank you!

After a previous house sale had fallen through we were apprehensive about using another online conveyancing service. From the start though communication was quick and questions were answered promptly. Emails responded to in a timely manner and it was possible to actually phone up and speak to someone - totally different from the previous experience and a breath of fresh air in terms of good customer service.

Pcs legal are the worst solicitors imhavecever dealt with. The most stressful situation ever. Completely incompetent. Never make contact. Never take calls. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY IF YOU VALUE YOUR SANITY.

Mr Marler was polite, knowledgeable and most importantly accessible when needed. I would use Mr Marler again upon the purchase of another property.

Fantastic service from Adam and the Aqua Team . Really good service always on hand to take our calls respond to emails quickly they guided us through the whole process of selling and buying our new home and we’re very reassuring when we were unsure of something. Would defiantly use them again.

I sent emails to Nikita King and her team with questions after first property fell through but no response and I am dreading what this means when a property sale progresses!

PCS Legal have been fantastic throughout my house purchase. The Alpha Team were professional, efficient and always kept me updated every step of the way. A special thank you to Julia, who was absolutely amazing — so supportive, responsive and reassuring during what can be a stressful process. I genuinely felt looked after from start to finish. Highly recommend PCS Legal!

I chose PCS for a leasehold purchase having read they specialised in such. From the start I found their communication and hap hazard approach frustrating. I began to receive weekly calls from the seller’s estate agent asking me to chase PCS, which was both embarrassing and stressful. I was calling PCS at least once a week to chase or correct details. There was no consistency of who to talk to in the team and my solicitor only spoke to me once, and that was 2 days before the planned completion date having taken so long to review the pack that an exchange date was deemed unnecessary, to tell me the purchase couldn’t go ahead because the name on the title deeds didn’t match other documents. It took about 6 weeks to notice that! As I was selling in Scotland and buying in England this meant I was made homeless and ended up putting all my belongings in storage and staying with relatives. Despite being leasehold specialists I had to chase the Leasehold and property management companies to get the appropriate documents myself. And even after I'd moved the Leasehold company was unaware of my purchase until I informed them months later. PCS never accepted any responsibility and even argued when I informed them that I was not liable for second home stamp duty on the final statement, so I adjusted the figures myself before transferring the final settlement. I have only just received my title deeds some 16 months after moving in, and PCS have now blamed the Property Management company for the delay. Despite me calling several times to check, I was never told what was causing the delay.
For all the stress and extra costs PCS have caused me I urge you not to select them for your conveyancing.

Our sale took over 8 months to complete due mainly to lack of follow up by Sarah Joy and her team. Gorst example - they promised us they were chasing the managing agents frequently, but after a month admitted they hadn't spoken to anyone and the phone number "they were calling to leave voicemails" was actually not even in service! The buyer's lawyers said they struggled to contact PCS, and we filed a formal internal complaint with PCS about our case and got a complete whitewash. We will now report them externally.

Luke and the team have been a great help as first time buyers. We had some delays along the way but they kept us in the loop, helped push things along and explained anything we didn’t understand. Thank you :)

Liam from PCS Legal was very efficient, quick to respond to queries and clear with what was required. Used them twice now for separate house conveyances and not any issues

I had Megan Hunts team help me with my flat purchase and loved the portal to show each steps of progress in my property purchase. The team ( Daisy and Amy) were always at hand to answer any questions and explained the buying process in east to understand terms. I found PCSLegal to be professional and fair. And did recommend them to others. Thank-you for your help!

Team LDN have been amazing throughout the transaction. They are polite, honest yet professional and reliable with every member taking responsibility rather than passing you on to someone else. Thankyou team LDN

The team kept me updated throughout the whole experience .
Luke Neale really pushed for the sale of my property to go through after my buyer’s solicitor had already cancelled the first moving date and was going to do it again which was extremely stressful
but Luke made it happen

Reply from PCS LEGAL
Great communication & really put our minds at ease at all times
We were in quite a big chain with our property at the bottom. We were under pressure to exchange due to our buyers mortgage offer expiring and I believe if PCS weren’t as proactive as they were then we would have struggled to complete on time and everything could have fallen apart due to delays with other solicitors. Highly recommend.
