Harrison Drury Solicitors - Preston

afshah a

These are the worst solicitors I have ever had any dealings with. They gave me a completion of two weeks, I messaged them on day 3 asking for what I needed, and they replied late on the day of completion knowing I would never meet this. Awful service from an awful company. Go elsewhere and save yourself the hassle and the money. They lost me thousands. Aamir Dahya - no empathy or understanding, just cared about lining his own pockets.

I have recently bought a house using Harrison Drury solicitors, and from start to finish, Tracey and her team have been excellent in completing the process at speed; they kept me well updated throughout, and always most helpful in answering my questions - always quick to come back to me and clear to understand. I’m so pleased I came to Harrison Drury and would highly recommend to others. I shall be back soon!

Slow reply and extremely expensive. Was forced to use them for a remortgage, which took so long (4-5 months) due to every single details they ask back and forth, circumstances changed so it failed. Was charged £800 bill after already paying them £800, very expensive for incompetent work. I've paid less than this in a purchase than this failed remortgage.

We have moved several times over the past few years and used the services of Tracey McCambridge, Harrison Drury each time. HD have been a pleasure to work with - quick communication, clear emails, and a very smooth process (despite changes at our end when sales fell through!).
I rarely had to call because the process worked well without me chasing. When I did call, the phone was answered by the relevant person and my questions were answered.
Highly recommended!

As someone in a chain with our buyer represented by this outfit, I cannot stress enough how horrible and deeply unprofessional this firm has been. Tracey McCambridge continually delayed and ignored our solicitor to such an extent that we were forced to pay excessive fees, cancel multiple decorators and builders and genuinely found ourselves in such a dark and stressful place. Unprofessional, immoral, unnecessary and just downright ridiculous behaviour for months on end. We lost two months of maternity leave because she couldn’t be bothered to reply for upwards of 10 days at a time, when finally pushed on things she claimed harassment, unbelievable, and so far from the truth that everyone involved in the chain was gobsmacked. At the last hurdle when finally all was in place she turned her “out of office” on. Then lied about NatWest supplying details “late”meaning we had to wait 3 more days, delaying everything to such an extreme level that we were 2 hours away from being personally liable for the sale collapsing.

We cannot understand what she was doing for 5 months. We cannot understand why she took weeks to respond to normal queries and issues, everyone else in the chain was ready to go for TWO MONTHS.

Anyone dealing with this company must be aware, and we will be making a lot more of a stink about this shambolic firm in the coming week. Harrison Drury has cost us over £5000 pounds in extra fees.

My review relates to family law proceedings. After my experience I would avoid solicitors altogether. If you need assistance then search "McKenzie friend" as a much better and much cheaper alternative. But be careful to pick the right McKenzie friend I'm sure there are good and bad ones out there. I can recommend a good one in the North West. My particular gripe with Harrison Drury and the reason I fired them, was their failure to advise me to avoid a Fact Find hearing. These are statistically very damaging for fathers because of the wording ("balance of probability", etc, etc) in family law makes it very easy for findings to made against fathers and subsequently contact reduced. The only explanation I can have is that they were wholly inept or were more interested in extending the hearings and lining their pockets. Either way I'm very grateful, looking back, that I stopped using them when I did. Thankfully I write this review a few years down the line, with the court process over and very satisfying result for my son.

We use Harrison Drury for all of our personal and corporate legal needs. They are always professional, responsive and affordable. We regularly recommend them to our network of customers, friends and colleagues.

I used HD to buy my most recent house. Tracy and the team held our hand every step of the way, provided regular updates and progressed things in a timely manner.

Definitely a firm I'd recommend to others.
