I’m not directly using Chadwick Lawrence myself, but one of my young staff members is currently buying her first home through them. From what I’ve seen and heard from her phone calls and emails, the experience has been nothing short of outrageous.
The lack of response from the person handling her conveyancing is shocking. Days go by with no communication, and when the odd email does appear, it’s unprofessional and dismissive at best. It’s heartbreaking to watch her go through this she’s at breaking point with stress and upset, and frankly, she doesn’t deserve to be treated this way.
This company needs to take a very hard look at its internal staff and the way they manage clients. Buying a house is stressful enough without this kind of negligence making it unbearable.
Honestly beware. If you value your sanity and want a smooth process, go somewhere else.

Purchased my first house and used Chadwick Lawrence in particular Conveyancer Zoe H. Not the cheapest quote but went for them due to the so called awards for service. Now, after completion I’m receiving a fine from HMRC because they haven’t filled out the land transaction return (or even advised me what this is). I wasn’t going to leave a review because I was just glad I finally got my house but I’ve now had enough.
To summarise all issues with Zoe / Chadwick Lawrence
- poor / non existent communication
- rude and threatening emails
- charged more than quoted which in the end just paid because I was stressed enough.
- still not received money owed for cash back offer.
As previously said, save yourself time money and stress and go elsewhere!
View this review on GoogleI would not recommend this firm based on my experience.
I instructed them in June 2025 for a property purchase and for searches and ID checks. Communication throughout the matter was very poor, with emails and calls often going unanswered and limited proactive updates provided.
Due to the ongoing lack of communication and delays, I raised concerns and previously posted feedback about my experience. Following this, I was contacted by the firm expressing dissatisfaction with the review and was asked to remove it, which I found uncomfortable as I was simply sharing my genuine experience as a client.
After submitting a formal complaint about the service, the firm then confirmed they would cease acting for me without reasonable notice. This has caused stress and disruption to my property transaction.
Clients should feel able to raise concerns and provide honest feedback without feeling pressured.
View this review on GoogleLiterally getting nothing back from my solicitor sent several messages / emails / voicemails . Spoken too reception multiple times if your thinking of using Chadwick Lawrence for your purchase of a property I would really recommend not to . I was only using these guys as I was suggested them by my estate agent but now looking back I was very foolish and definitely should have done some due diligence. Many people in my situation are having the same issue and it’s not fair .
View this review on GoogleI would strongly advise anyone considering this company for conveyancing to find another provider.
The negative reviews you may have seen are genuine from my experience. I was fortunately not the direct client, however I was very unfortunately an indirect client of the conveyancing service. Our buyer was provided an unqualified (or at least uncertified) conveyancer that appeared to be out of their depth with our file. This should not have been a difficult sale however throughout the process our conveyancer, our estate agent, our sellers estate agent and sellers conveyancer simply could not reach or get in contact with this company from one day to the next. This made the processs from start to finish difficult, frustrating and tiresome. This conveyancer does not appear to do any upfront or proactive based work which significantly slowed the process of the sale down. Based on some hurdles that presented themselves as a result of our buyer being a first-time buyer it seems the conveyancer were unable to steer them through the process and allay any of their concerns and we routinely experienced conflicting information from the conveyancer and our buyer who continually blamed each other for the reasons why things were not progressing. Based on our chain (a first-time buyer and sellers moving abroad (no chain) and our house a well maintained 30yr old house, this could have competed in 6 weeks. We purchased our 80yr old house after the offer from our buyer and we were ready to exchange for 4 weeks prior to the final completion, which was forced to become an exchange and completion on the same day as a result of our sellers needing to put a deadline on the completion date. I would highly recommend this conveyancers improve upon their communication skills, in particular, daily updates even if nothing has moved (and avoid rude emails blaming their "client" or others for their failures, and simply improve transparency). Practice proactive planning for example, contract and legal documentation preparation earlier in the process and education to conveyancers on basic exchange and completion time frames including organising of funds. We are grateful that our sale did complete by the skin of its teeth, however this conveyancer made this a far harder and much more stressful experience for everybody than what it needed to be and as a result we were unable to provide our buyer with the welcome to their new house they deserved as we were literally told Friday at 16:30 that we were doing a simultaneous sale and completion on the Monday, leaving us next to no time to organise anything.
