Meadows Ryan Solicitors Ltd t/a Meadows & Co. - Weybridge

Sez

I was recommended to this solicitor by an estate agent. I went with this solicitor only because they were local to the purchase. I found them very slow and they don't provide you with an on-line portal that you can follow your purchase on, to follow the progress of it. When I mentioned this to my solicitor' dealing with my purchase I didn't get a response from him. When purchasing a house it is good to see the progression of your sale with an on-line portal, so you can see how fast things are moving and if there are any questions you need to raise, otherwise you don't have a foggiest of where your at with your purchase and your left in the dark waiting for for an email or a phone call that doesn't come through. Having things in writing is much better and professional than just talking with your client on the phone, and you also have a paper trial of your purchase. This solicitor really needs to bring this service in and to let their clients follow their progression of their purchase both together. I have returned to my original solicitor' who has always had an on-line portal you can follow and who are really efficient and fast.

Be aware also of hidden 'abortion fees' with this firm, as I pulled out of a 'purchase' and had money on account, but they still charged me £1,000 + VAT for pulling out - (50%)

Stay away from this firm at all costs. They are absolutely awful and I give 0 stars, but the lowest I can select is 1

They still owe me money after never completing a lease they stopped communicating and not paid the money back.

A house sale took 30 weeks purely on the conveyancing side of things. The national average is around 8-12. Communications were never forthcoming, they had to be chased repeatedly. One particular stand out was Angela Plews who was very unprofessional over the phone in terms of poor attitude and more importantly, out right lied about communications she had received. Email evidence showed she and Adam been contacted, but failed to act and this delayed completion by over a week due to their incompetence. Owning that mistake would have been the integral thing to do, but lying to save face was the option she chose.

If you value speed & professionalism in your property matters, don't go with these guys.

AVOID this firm at all cost. I asked for help getting probate and have had 3 different solicitors on this simple case, severe delays, significant fees and no results. Partners of the firm don’t care when you complaint when you don’t get response from the person handling your case. I have dealt with a lot of legal firms in the past but have never experienced anything as unprofessional and terrible as this firm!

I have worked with four departments within Meadows & Co over the years and they have all been excellent. Timely, friendly, and thorough.

My partner and I recently used Meadows & Co when buying our flat. We were both first time buyers, and we were very grateful for Alastair's (our solicitor) patience and experience in helping us through the process. Would highly recommend their services!

I am more than satisfied with Meadows Ryan after they supported me with a recent business transaction. They demonstrated urgency and professionalism at all times and persisted that way to closure, despite a seemingly deliberately tardy and at times questionable and frustrating approach by others. I would not hesitate to engage Meadows Ryan on my behalf again - or to recommend them to others.

These guys are the most unprofessional in terms of clarifying T&c’s, conduct of business and threatening to take you to court on challenging them on their invoicing methods. I have bought and sold 2 properties in the UK but this time I decided to use Medows Ryan on recommendation of my estate agents. I had agreed to pay on an hourly basis as they convinced me this was the best way as we have now moved abroad. My sales fell through in July 2024 and all of sudden they have started making demands for additional fees which I believe are complete arbitrary and in a very unprofessional way
