Nockolds  Reviews 

Joanna has been fantastic! She has helped me go through a Settlement Agreement. Always reactive with her answers from the first email when I reached out! She's been very good advice and ready to step in for a smooth process. She took the time to answer all my questions and not speed through any. I recommend 10/10!

Have dealt with Lucy Riley for a number of years and wouldn't use anyone else now. Incredible service and the speed in which they respond to our queries if always impressive. Nothing is ever too much trouble. We also had some training at their offices yesterday and their team are all amazing. Thanks very much as it is very important when running a SME that we have the legal support and you are the best.

I found this company on a search on the web. Having read the positive reviews I went ahead and contacted them as I needed a Spanish document translating. I dealt with Dalilia who promptly responded and dealt with my request in a timely and efficient manner. The price of the service I needed was very good and the work completed within , I think, 2 weeks.

Although our house purchase went through, our dealings with Nockolds, particularly with our solicitor, were by far the most aggravating part of our experience.

Friends recommended us Nockolds, and upon a first call with Jeanette (who was a pleasure to work with), we chose them and were assigned a specific solicitor. First strange thing we realized in hindsight was that we never had any sort of intro call with her to walk us through the process. It just started, albeit initially smoothly, by email. Then, here is the litany of things that drove us crazy

- Borderline harassment of relatives for proof of funds (apparently Nockolds policy, but be warned, they will go back decades to find out how people in their 70s have a few thousand pounds to give to their children)

- Does not schedule calls, just says she’ll call when she can

- Did not respond for almost a week on timeline update (replied to other things, but dodged this – finally said she’d “look into her report”)

- OOO half day on exchange day, only told us the day before

- Did not manage the timeline expectation with sellers (or keep us in loop), resulting in some very awkward conversations with the seller’s side and the estate agent

- Did not deal with or properly inform us on missing building inspection certificates until THE DAY OF EXCHANGE (when our solicitor was off…), resulting in us frantically having to dig into it and pushing back the exchange

- Tried to rush us to exchange on the agreed-upon date, when there was clearly a red flag (borderline malpractice). When we pushed back to sellers, they resolved the matter in 48 hours, but it took us pressuring our own solicitors not to take the easy way out

- Needed to be chased after the missing exchange date, and in general, was TERRIBLE at keeping us in the loop. Also, complaints from the other side about this, which we are inclined to believe, given our experience.

- No apology for clear mess up. All we got was “I’m sorry you feel that way”…tell you all you need to know about communication style.

- OOO on day of completion, only told us a day or two before, and handed off to a completely new person for one of the most important days of our lives

- We found out that both exchange and completion had successfully gone through from the estate agent first, rather than our own solicitors.

- No follow-up. No “enjoy your new home”…just felt like with all the issues, our solicitor gave up on us, knowing a review like this was coming, and did the bare minimum. And to be clear, we were beyond patient and polite about all the above throughout. Maybe that was our mistake…



Let me end by saying that apart from the building certificate (which turned out to be easy to resolve), this was one of the smoothest, quickest, easiest transactions a conveyancer could wish for, and yet they were the most aggravating part of the whole experience BY FAR. I cannot imagine what dealing with this solicitor would be like if you have a more complex transaction.

Avoid this company for your house purchase. I'd say just avoid the solicitor we had, to give Nockolds the benefit of the doubt that it was just a bad apple, but as they flagged this review, preventing me from giving her first name, probably best to avoid them altogether.

Delilah is very professional, friendly, and prompt with her translation services. Highly recommend!

Efficient and friendly service as ever (my family have been clients for many years)

Personal service. Good advice and outcome.

Excellent service, would highly recommend

Dalila at Nocklonds offers a first rate translation service. On both occasions the service has been very quick and responsive - and I have now successfully obtained my Spanish visa. I would recommend their services any time.

Very professional, patient and helpful.
Thank you

Adam Dunkley was a fantastic soucitor. Very professional.

I was treated like an intelligent human being: my views and concerns were listened to and my case was conducted with supreme professionalism, but with a very compassionate touch. I would definitely instruct them again.

I had a very positive experience in preparing a will. The solicitor was attentive, suggested a number of options I could take and was happy to make changes at the last minute. The advice I was given was exemplary and I felt content when the will was finished.

Nockolds were incredibly professional to work with. They took time to diligently understand our project requirements and kept in touch throughout the process. The team made the entire process feel straightforward and efficient, and we were always confident we were in good hands. We highly recommend their services.

Very responsive. Put me in touch with the correct person within their organisation straight away.

Dalila handled a complex translation document for me and turned it round within 24 hours. Great service would definitely use them again.

Excellent service by Dalia. Highly recommend

Julie Hussey, our main point of contact, was outstanding. She was proactive, kept us fully informed with clear and regular updates, and made the whole process seamless. I would highly recommend Nockolds to anyone.

Nockolds recently did the conveyancing on our house sale. This is the third time we have used them. They are professional and efficient and a pleasure to work with.

As well as a professional service, we always felt safe in the hands of your team during a very difficult time.

Reactive and helpful
