Cook Taylor Woodhouse Solicitors LTD Avis 

Yet another positive experience with CTW. Communication is clear and the portal is easy to use. Mainly comms via email, but solicitor or a team member always on hand to assist. Used Zara Wilkins at the Dartford office, always proactive and on the front foot. Highly recommend.

Thank you to Joy at Cook Taylor Woodhouse. Always professional and approachable . I was very confident in her ability to complete my flat sale . I was kept well informed of how things were going and she was guiding and helpful when I needed to do something. I would ask for her again.

Thank you 🙏 so much Laura for helping me with the legal side in buy my property. Very much appreciated. Everything went as smooth as clockwork. I Highly recommend Laura and Cook Taylor Woodhouse Solicitors LTD.

Meera was really helpful, effiecient and responsive. She made the process tick along as quickly as was possible. Unusually for selling property, it was fairly stress free.

Really happy with the service from Mesbah at the Maidstone Office. He was very helpful, quick to respond and always kept us updated. He helped make the buying process simple and got everything completed quickly. Really appreciate all his help and would definitely recommend him.

Finding a solicitor is hard, and it looks like some people have had a good experience with CTW (We had Kirsty McMahon of the Dartford branch, maybe other branches are better), but this was the most stressful experience of my life. I ended up weeping on my living room floor, which I firmly believe would not have happened with a better solicitor.

Everything seemed to take forever, or was suddenly last minute. On one occasion they said we had until 5pm to make the decision, and when we said "I'm sure we actually have another two weeks" they told us we were wrong. When we then did not want to rush a house decision in 2 hours and didn't say yes, we were told a few days later we actually had another two weeks.
We sent a next day letter signed for to the offices, which we got proof of delivery but they "didn't receive it" so we had to get a friend to drive over before 9am the next morning to hand deliver it.
They sent the wrong paperwork twice, and on one occasion said it was okay we'd signed the wrong document as they could just replace the page. I'm not sure this is legal, although it didn't matter as that's the aforementioned one that 'didn't arrive'.
We also got conflicting advice during the process on whether to buy a house if the sellers would not agree to something technical. At first they said 'don't do it, the sellers need to agree and this isn't normal and could come back to bite you' (I'm paraphrasing) and then when the sellers flat out refused, they sounded like it was fine and a non issue. This is quite unnerving when buying a house and in the end we had to get external advice because we're not legal professionals (but presumably neither are you) because at this point we didn't feel like we could trust our solicitors with our best interests.

CTW made our first home purchase as streamlined and straightforward as we could have hoped for and communication was excellent throughout the entire process. Special shout out to Chloe Denyer, who guided us through brilliantly and helped provide peace of mind when we needed it most. Would strongly recommend!

This is the 2nd time we have used cook Taylor Woodhouse when we have moved the fist time we were delt with Anila Marsh and she was the most professional person I have ever come across and blew myself and my wife away with just how on top of things she was! So there was only one company and definitely one person we wanted to deal with when we were moving again and that person was Anila Marsh..and once again was a absolute superstar...she was pretty much did everything apart from pack our clothes! What a absolute pleasure it was to deal with you again Anila and I don't know how you did it but got us the very exchange and completion date we wanted! You truly are a gem! We can't do gank you enough! No move moving we promise!! Thank you!!

Mesbah at the Maidstone office handled both our flat sale and our new-build purchase at the same time, and neither was straightforward. The sale threw up round after round of enquiries — unadopted roads and sewers, management company certificates, planning conditions, plus a buyer who needed a lot of reassurance along the way.
Mesbah chased the council, the management agents and the other side persistently, answered our questions quickly, and kept both transactions alive when it would have been easy for things to fall apart. He was always reachable and never made us feel like a nuisance for asking (we were though!).
We completed on the day we planned and are now in our new home. Thank you, Mesbah.

My experience of having Paaris Khan from the Maidstone office has been great, obviously with every house purchase there are bumps and stops in the way and Paaris was on the case ( with a few prompts) but cannot fault his devotion to getting the case sewn up as early as possible, just over 13 weeks from selling our house to completion and moving into our new property. Thanks Paaris

Amreet provided fantastic service for our house sale. She was professional, very quick to respond to communications, and helped us deal with all the speed bumps that come up during house sales. She was also friendly and lovely to talk to on the phone. Amreet made the stress of selling much less stressful! Jamie & Harriet

Amanique Ghag was very professional and really good at her job. She was supportive and she reassured me, as well as patient with me when I had questions and concerns. I am pleased that it is all completed. I would use the firm again in the future.

Anila was so professional and patient with the selling of two of our properties. She had a hard task with the other party and kept her cool. We would highly recommend her to our colleagues. Thank you

Mesbah at the Maidstone Office. Without him this would have been horrible experience. But his professionalism and commitment helped us through this emotional experience. We would both lie to thank him.

Mr & Mrs Palmer

Happy to say that Alex at Cook Taylor Woodhouse, provided a fantastic service in dealing with my legal matters. I was kept informed at all stages and the process was made relatively simple. Recommended.

Throughout our buying and selling process Alexandra Spillett was absolutely fantastic. She was very professional, helpful and always kept us up to date considering we had a very tricky sale process.
Would definitely recommend the company. Thank you all, especially Alex.

I wouldn’t normally do reviews but was asked to as ‘every 5-star review helps me significantly’.

I am purely basing this review on my experience with the firm when selling my property and cannot go on what other firms offer; I do feel however that the experience was definitely sub par. I understand that law firms are not necessarily there for great customer service, but a fairly non existent service is worrying.

We accepted an offer on our flat in March however only completed at the end of August. Whilst I can’t speak for what goes on in the background, from what I was hearing from the buyer (who constantly had her solicitors chasing her for CTW’s responses) and the estate agents (who actually recommended CTW), there wasn’t too much happening.

I chased several times but on numerous occasions, was unsuccessful in getting a response that day.

We are pleased that we decided to move to another area of the country, renting, for a short period to ensure we like it and, now that we do, we are imminently looking to buy. CTW will not be the law firm that we will be using purely on this experience.

We used Cook Taylor Woodhouse for the conveyancing of our house sale, and the service was excellent throughout. We received quick responses to all our questions, and the communication was consistently clear and professional.

A special thank you to Chloe, who was absolutely amazing. She fully understood our objective of achieving a fast sale and worked tirelessly to keep everything moving smoothly. Her support, efficiency, and proactive approach made the entire process much less stressful.

I would highly recommend Cook Taylor Woodhouse to anyone looking for a reliable and professional conveyancing service.

I want to put on record the exceptional service i got from Alexandra in my Lincoln house equity transfer . She was exceptionally detailed and made the whole process less stressful than i thought. CTW kudos , first used your firm 15 years ago and coming back to you was fantastic.

First class service from Paaris Khan who was always available and answered queries promptly.
We are elderly retired and appreciate the patience that was shown
