“OMG Debbie Osmont is the worst lawyer in England she is incompetent beyond belief.
My buyer was put onto them by Howard’s estate agents no doubt they get a cut.
So had a few issues as is the norm but I am selling a lease hold property my landlord is the Great Yarmouth council so first she says she wants amendments to the lease and was told No so my buyer told her she will still buy and not worry about the lease as NEVER been an issue EVER before so this was August and my buyer wrote to confirm this. Next was some white goods we told her we are dealing with personally and don’t want lawyers involved again around August. Next was proof of maintenance fee for year paid so my lawyer sent a letter from council confirming it was all paid in full. All issues sorted so you would think 6 months down the road yes 6 months.
But NO - we are all ready to exchange etc and this fool writes and says the lease problem as above please contact landlord etc then provide proof of maintenance paid as above then confirm all goods are being left as above UNREAL.
My lawyer said she has all questions sorted months ago and after contacting Howard’s and giving them grief they closed ranks and Sophie does not even return calls.
This company DC LAW is a joke and the staff are useless they have no idea they are clowns and I am ready to take this matter further.
PLEASE DONT USE THEM FOR GOD SAKE.
On this day now I am still no further forward she has had letter off buyer she has had letter off landlord the council she has been told private sale of white goods and still a total idiot.”
“Avoid at all costs.
I sold my house a month ago and am still waiting for the post sales pack to arrive. I have been calling 4 times a week at least and haven't had a single phone call answered from DC Law.”
“The way this company treat there clients is disgusting, anyone who has funding with them my advice is to get out quick and try to get your money back because it won't be long before they are shut down by the ombudsman. They are completely incompetent, why this hasn't been highlighted by the mainstream media yet I will never know.We are about to lose our buyers due to there lack of professionalism and just common decency to there customers.”
“In the words of our own, usually very diplomatic, solicitor.
"DC law bring a new kind of awful to the industry." He wasnt kidding! Each person at DC law operates in a silo seemingly unable to understand or assist the entire process. More effort spent deflecting and fielding than actaully getting the works done. If you can avoid..do! if you have to deal with them then expect delays, apply pressure from agents, youre own legal reps and anyone else possible from the start.”
“Dopey Cowboys Lazy abysmal W@n@E#s
Do no use, they will keep asking the same questions over and over again, and never get back you about anything.
So far taken 8 months to to one house to a first time buyer.”
“Absolutely shockingly Bad I feel compelled to put up a review you simply can not get hold of anyone I have been waiting now for one week they do not get back to you please do not use and there eWay system is a joke been down for 7 weeks. This is the poorest service I have ever experienced”
“Absolute disgusting service from this company, they tried belittling me & intimidating me as I was first time buyer. I took them to the ombudsman after months of complaining & was rewarded compensation and proved I DID receive bad service! NEVER got an apology!!
REPORT THEM!”
“DO NOT USE THIS FIRM!
I purchased a new build and used to exchange the contract on early December. After I paid the searching fees in early November, they claimed that their server was down immediately, then, they can't answer the phones, can't access the email, can't check that did they have received my seller's documents or not (by courier) as all of them work from home currently, and also, can't check out they have ordered the searching report or not as well. They are totally no operation actually. They agreed to refund but can't give me a date when I can get back the money as their account department can't access to email and phone calls as well. So strange!”
“The worse solicitors I ever had to deal with. Never give the your case to them you will regret a lot. They never reply you back neither your completion will progress. They are simply stressing people out. Never try them never never.”
“Do not use DC Law! We instructed DC Law mid July to deal with our easy selling and buying of properties. We were given Barry Foster as our conveyancer. He is very slow and cannot multitask and comes across like he doesn’t actually care about his clients. We lost our buyer yesterday on the 23 of November because DC Law and Barry dragged their heels. We pleaded with the operations manager to help but no such luck. They don’t speak to the other conveyancers and do not give you updates. It felt like I was checking in on one of my children all the time. Barry didn’t even know the buyer pulled out until we emailed him! Their was no communication between him and the purchaser. We lost our buyer and the home we were going to buy and no apology off DC Law. I’m not even going to blame the “cyber attack” as we should of been completed way before that happened!”
“Shocking Don’t use this company. Everything I have read in the 75 reviews below is correct and now the chain is about to collapse as a result of their incompetence and inability to communicate. I would not buy a house if these were the buyers solicitor.”
“Still waiting
The computer system has now crashed.
This could be oblivion.
I viwed my prospective property on 16 March 2021
A long time ago
A long time ago.
Ah well.”
“Seller is using this firm and it has been nightmare from day one. from their system crashing, to not attending calls, it is one problem after another. Do yourself a favor and run the other way when you know it is this firm acting as your sellers conveyancer.”
“Only posting a star because I have to. My house sold on 23rd March, however my buyer is using DC Law. They have got everything wrong, messed everyone around, wasted time and everyones money. I had to go ahead with my purchase so am now paying for two houses.
Incompetent in the extreme, they are not fit to practice in my view.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS.”
