We bought and sold four properties through Constantine & Summers and I will continue to go back to them. They are friendly, responsive, professional and reliable. I am very please with the service! Thank you Jane and Ambreen!

Constantine and Summers - Ombudsman ruling
To your response, The Ombudsman ruled your were in breach of "In the Solicitors Regulation Prescribed Terms Part 1.3 it states: ‘You ensure that client money is available on demand unless you agree an alternative arrangement in writing with the client, or the third party for whom the money is held’ " and that "there was no reasonable reason why the firm should have withheld". You accepted the ruling, later changing changing your stance and when you requested that the Ombudsman reopened the case, they refused.

The Legal Ombudsman ruled that "the firm's service was unreasonable as they delayed the release of Mr Smart's funds" as "there was no reasonable reason why the firm
should have withheld".

The ombudsman stated "This was a relatively significant service failing, as the firm delayed releasing a very large sum of money" and that "I expect this would have had an impact on Mr Smart's day to day life" and that "There is no dispute that the firm delayed releasing the funds".

The Ombudsman also stated "compensation does fall within our significant award category, due to the impact this has had on Mr Smart" however this took 20 months and the amount received in no way compensates for the stress of selling a house and finding yourself beholden to the one party that you should be able to trust, your solicitor?

There has been no apology from Constantine and Summers.

The ruling is available upon requested as a matter of public record from the Legal Ombudsman.

I recommend Constantine and Summers and will always use them if I ever need anything again. Julie Summers, Ambreen and Jane were so supportive throughout my divorce. They actually cared about me and my children and when you go through such difficult times you need good advice as well as support.

Unbeatable: solid, efficient, affordable.

I used Constantine and Summers LLP for conveyancing for the purchase of my first property.

Griselda and Jane are reliable, professional and efficient. They provide a traditional solicitor service in all the right ways, which taps into the modern solicitor service you need. They are thorough and knowledgeable, they utilise communication by regular email to ensure letters aren't unnecessarily delayed via Royal Mail.

My face-to-face contact with Jane and Griselda was also reassuring.

They have an honest and open approach which leads to zero ambiguity. They are readily available and quick to respond to queries. I felt certain they were leaving no stones unturned throughout my process and I really felt I was getting a service unparalleled when considering the cheap online conveyancers or the high street licensed conveyancers. This is a proper solicitor service accessible for all and not prohibitively overpriced.

Thanks to all at Constantine and Summers LLP. I am very happy in my new home.

John Sanderson

Had a problem concerning a tree surgeon and contacted them for advice.

No response. Hence I assume if your problem is not their specialty they
won't bother to respond.

Arthur Jenkins

Very quick response to my queries regarding commissioner of oaths / verified copy services.
