Vincents Solicitors Avis 

Excellent service. Nothing was too much trouble. Would happily use them again. Good communication. Went above and beyond to resolve issues not of his making in difficult circumstances

We have just completed on a property today. Vincent's came recommended by the estate agents and we went with these guys. They did not disappoint, very thorough and very quick ! I would not hesitate in recommending vincents to friends and family

Quite a shocking experience really.
I could say that you get what you pay for, but that would simply be an excuse.
I decided to purchase a buy-to-let property with sitting tenants.
The tenants were happy to continue to remain in the property.
All seemed to go smoothly initially until the seller caused some delays, which I only came aware of this after a 2 month delay where I go no updates.
I started chasing the estate agents assking them to nudge the seller to get things moving, and that is the only way things started progressing.
This all started around August with my mortgage offer expiring in December.
December is not a full month and most businesses close early and pressure started building late November when I chased up the status and was told that they were still waiting for paperwork relating to their ID! - this should have been done within a few weeks of the initial startup, not 2+ months later !

Anyhow, the paperwork was all signed and exchange of contracts were ready to be signed, but the lender would not approve without a tenancy agreement - it was a wink wink agreement between the seller and tenant - the tenant then goes out and gets a 12 month agreement at his agreed rental rate.

This rate was £30 less than tha mortgage.

You'll like this - one of the conditions from the lender was that the rent must be equal or greater than the mortgage - so already broken a clause - also a deposit should be in place (no deposit was taken or registered!) - broken another clause

My insurance company would not cover me due to the fact that there was no deposit registered and to top it all - the tenant refused to communicate with me and stated that "I'm protected for 12 months now and you can't touch me and I will not give you a deposit".

I only came aware of the clauses after chasing up for help, but before I signed the contacts, I stated to the conveyancer that the rent is less than the mortgage and there is no deposit either and the response was "I'm not legally trained and you will have to get legal advice", but was then told to sign the contracts - why wouldn't I as i assumed I would be able to rectify all of this with the tenant - little did I know that she would bite back like mentioned earlier.

Also the tenancy agreement was set as to pay in advance, yet the seller absorbed the rent monies stating that the tenant paid in arrears.

I chased the converyancer for several months on this that there is a rent due to me for part month - pro-rata, but eventually I've been tolde to go find a litigator to sort this out!!

The tenant eventally absconded after not paying me rent for 3 months. I'm very glad she left as it's allowed me to get new tenants into the property.

There should have been due dilligence on the whole matter with tight timescales and I should not have had to intervene - the conveyancer should have rejected the tenancy agreement and asked for a new agreement and not have put me in a postion where I would be stuck with a tenant who refused to pay me, not be insured on the property by any means and also take a hit on the monthly rent

I can't recommend Callum and Rhian highly enough! They're the best conveyancers I've ever dealt with by far, responding promptly to any enquiries or emails and always at the end of the phone. Not only did they deal with their end of my house sale efficiently and smoothly, they actively chased outstanding information from the sellers' conveyancers too. Callum and Rhian made what could have been a stressful, drawn out process a lot easier, and their constant communication throughout was very reassuring. Plus they're lovely people to deal with too! I'll be passing on their number to everyone I know :)

Amy Whiteside did a beyond fantastic job arranging and sorting Probate out following the death of my mum aged 92, It was a tricky one but Amy got it sorted and gained communication from the Third parties. Amy is totally friendly, approachable and professional. When emailing Amy she replied virtually straight away. I can highly recommend Amy's services she did a fantastic job. Thanks so much.

We had to re-mortgage quickly for our self build; being self employed it wasn't the most straightforward re-mortgage and we had to meet more complex criteria than the norm - Jemma at Penwortham (and the team at Vincents) were a pleasure to deal with, good value for money and importantly Jemma was efficient, friendly and professional -we can highly recommend Jemma and Vincent's team.

I have used Vincents in 3 offices & the standard of support advice & communication is of a high grade. I have taken advice from Chris Mathews based in Lytham with an ongoing case & would like to say nothing is too much trouble for him. Prompt telephone calls back & return of emails on the same day. In my assessment this company is first class in several areas of law.

I have used the services of the Garstang branch of Vincent's solicitors in the past years. I dealt with Amy who I found to be very professional and helpful. Any problems were dealt with quickly and efficiently with a pleasant and curtious manner. I would highly recommend Amy at Vincent's Garstang.

I have used Vincent's on more than one occasion this year and would like to thank them, especially Amy, for a stress free and a no nonsense approach at a very emotional time. I would certainly use them again.

A complicated commercial conveyance dealt with efficiently and accurately by Vincents.

Couldn’t recommend these guys enough. Staff always polite and extremely helpful. That will definitely be our go to solicitors from now on. Amy was our contact and she was extremely helpful.

Twice I have used Vincents Solicitors for conveyance means, and they have been excellent. Deborah, Sarah and Mia have been completely professional throughout the process, making it easy and stress free. I hear of many potential home owners finding it frustrating dealing with solicitors getting conveyance through effectively, you won’t find any difficulties with these professionals supporting you. Effective organisation with exemplary staff providing excellent service in this field.

I would like to say thank you very much to Samantha/Kieran and the rest of the team (Poulton/Blackpool) for all their help. I've contacted Samantha on 8th August to say that I am buying a house and I would like to have their services. The bank sent the mortgage offer on 31st August and I got my keys to my new home on 16th September 2022! It was a quick, easy and professional transaction all throughout the process. All the people I know were shocked and surprised on how they dealt with the conveyancing. They will all use Vincent's next time they require one. Even the estate agents said they will start recommending them to all their clients going forward. I work in a construction/engineering industry and my colleagues were also amazed with what they've achieved.

I can truly recommend them to anyone who requires a conveyancing solicitor!

Thank you :) xx

We have just completed on our first ever house sale (literally on Friday!) and we cannot thank Shaun (Chorley Branch) enough. He has been so fantastic throughout the whole thing, replied to us same day and always answered our calls. He always made us feel informed of all our options and we wouldn’t be where we are today in our dream home if it wasn’t for him & the rest of the team at Vincent’s Chorley! Thank you for helping us secure our dream home!🔑🏡

It took over 8 months to complete my searches and exchange contracts with the seller when buying my flat.
I have had asked to wait for 2 months though so overall 6 months.
One of the encounters with them was very unprofessional when they called to inform me that there will be some additional fees as one of the titles needed more clarity so the woman that called me simply suggested to give up and buy other property instead and that was well into 6 month of waiting from them to complete and do the searches...
After the completion they had to return some money back for what they wanted to charge me £50, I must say again very unprofessional as they were very pricy to begin with. I wouldn't recommend their services.

Nicole and Natalie came to my rescue when another firm left me in the lurch 6 weeks before completion. Nothing was too much trouble; they communicated both timely and effectively and explained clearly what need to be done. I will definitely use Vincent’s in the future.

I have recently sold a property and used Jemma Lloyd and Sally Smith at Vincents Penwortham Office got to say the service was exceptional.
The process was quick and efficient and both Jemma and Sally took the stress out of the whole transaction.
They were professional and quick to contact me if they had queries to raise, I must say quite a few came up throughout the process which meant sally had to contact LCC and various other organisations, she did this on my behalf and got problems solved quickly and efficiently.
Always easy to contact both by direct phone number or email.
Highly recommend .
Thank you to both of you and Vincents overall.

Really disappointed with this Chorley Office. I attempted several times to speak to Dan and was virtually promised he would get back to me, however this never occured.
Dan was initially dealing with my query, but made no attempt to contact me back as stated.
I will now look to take my service elsewhere. Really disappointed after a wasted few weeks of my time 😒

Worst ever disgraceful deceitful discriminating Lytham disgusting Preston as bad added insult to injury on complaining used every unlawful trick to get out of and evade justice over a very serious claim but ended up with a complaint about sltrs managers are the lowest of the low plse beware go elseware

Thank you to June Caunce for everything she has done for us.
Nothing was too much trouble and everything was dealt with quickly and efficiently.
Also thank you to Rachel and Kerry for your assistance too.
Five star service and can’t thank you enough.
