I engaged William Sturges LLP for property conveyancing matters involving multiple units. My experience has been deeply concerning and professionally disappointing.

The firm has held £5,000 of my funds as stakeholder for over 720 days, despite contractual terms requiring release after a 10-day response period. The other party has not responded for over seven months, yet William Sturges continues to retain these funds without valid explanation.

Communication has been extremely poor throughout. Emails frequently go unanswered, telephone calls are not returned, and promised responses repeatedly fail to materialise. When I formally requested confirmation that my funds remained properly held in their client account, it took multiple requests over several months to receive any documentation. The ledger eventually provided raised significant concerns about how my funds had been handled.

In my experience, deadlines were consistently missed, incorrect notices were served, and I received conflicting advice on important matters. This caused substantial delays to property completions, resulting in additional costs and considerable stress to my business operations.

I have been forced to engage their professional indemnity insurers and make formal regulatory complaints due to their handling of my matters. After exhausting all reasonable attempts at resolution over nearly two years, I cannot recommend this firm based on my personal experience.

Anyone considering instructing this firm should carefully consider my experience and perhaps seek additional references before proceeding.

Marc Dewing acted as my solicitor during the sale of my property, and I was thoroughly impressed with the service from start to finish. He was extremely knowledgeable which gave me great confidence throughout the process. What stood out most was his efficiency. Everything was handled promptly and professionally, with no delays or unnecessary stress.

Communication was flawless. Marc kept me informed at every stage, responded quickly to any questions, and always explained things clearly and patiently. He was also incredibly attentive and approachable, which made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and well managed.

I'm very grateful for the support and expertise Marc provided and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and highly competent solicitor for their property matters.

David Cross acted for me on a sale and purchase and was outstanding. We had a number of complex issues which he handled in a calm, professional, thorough and pragmatic manner. This was our fourth property and having used other solicitors previously I can categorically say David is the best by far. I cannot recommend David highly enough.

David Cross was fantastic in his support of our house sale, and purchase. He has a deep knowledge and experience of the technical area, and he used this to build a fabulous and empathetic working relationship with us, and guided us through the (in our case) complex process. David is prompt and efficient, and left none of our many questions unanswered. He is a terrific lawyer and operator, and we have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him to others. When the time comes, we will certainly be seeking his services again.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Sally H when purchasing our first home. We had a very tight deadline to meet and Sally was exemplary in coordinating all the necessary documents and communications to help us complete within our timeframe. She was highly responsive and very patient with us and the process, comprehensively explaining all aspects to us. We would thoroughly recommend her, and will certainly look to Sally when we move on from this house.

Thank you Sally for all your efforts, we are very grateful to have had your help.
