Underwood Vinecombe LLP - Little Eaton

Used to use these guys a lot, great in the past. Sadly, had a poor experience this time around. Complained about some issues to one of the seniors who wasn't very responsive, didn't call me as requested and to be honest, has no sense of customer service. Won't be using them again unfortunately.
The main issue is that the solicitor I was using for a house purchase, was too OTT with requirements and lost me the sale. They then insisted I pay the their fees after.. so I am about £1k down and no house purchase.. the sellers, their legal guys and the estate agents blame Underwood for this. The transaction started in November 2024, by August 2025 it was still going no where.. and then the sellers pulled out. The feedback was that Underwood were too stringent/nitpicky and they would rather sell to someone else using different solicitors!

As first time buyers, we thought Laura at Underwood Vinecomb was absolutely fantastic. Her great communication and clear explanations made the whole process stress-free and straightforward. She was always approachable, quick to respond, and nothing was ever too much trouble. We felt fully supported and confident every step of the way. We’re so grateful for all her hard work and can’t recommend them highly enough

We lost out on buying a property as the seller and seller’s solicitor did not want to deal with Underwood Vinecombe. They were being overly difficult throughout the whole process. We had to pay £1000 in fees for absolutely nothing after 7 months!

We have recently completed on our sale and purchase which we used Laura White. The whole way through Laura was absolutely amazing.
Laura was always there at the end of the phone if I had any questions and would respond to emails quickly.
Towards the end we also had contact with Sarah Barrett who also was fantastic.
I would highly recommend Underwood VineCombe to anyone.
Thank you again to Laura and Sarah for all of your help.

We didn’t deal directly with this solicitor—they acted on behalf of our sellers—but our experience was poor nonetheless. Throughout the process, they were slow and at times completely unresponsive, which caused unnecessary delays and stress.

Following completion, our solicitors contacted them for support regarding a breach of contract, as the property was left in an unacceptable state: a broken toilet, bins overflowing, rubbish left in every room, the garage, and even behind the shed. This should all have been removed prior to completion.

Their response? “We are not litigators and are not instructed to deal with such matters. Your client should have checked the state and condition before exchange of contracts—caveat emptor.” This reply was dismissive and unhelpful. We exchanged contracts three weeks prior while the sellers were still living there, so clearly we couldn’t have known the condition it would be left in.

It seems once the sale is done and they’ve been paid, they wash their hands of any responsibility. If you’re looking for a solicitor who offers ongoing support or takes any accountability, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere. Their excuses don’t hold up, and you may find yourself out of pocket and without any help.

We have used Underwood Vinecombe 4 times for selling and buying properties and I can’t recommend them enough. We wouldn’t use any other solicitor. Every member of staff has been professional, knowledgeable and extremely helpful.
Michelle, Sue and Sarah (to name a few) have made the process as smooth and seamless as possible. We would recommend them to anyone!

Would just like to thank Sue R for her work conveyancing for us recently. Extremely efficient and never had to chase once, a pleasant change from solicitors dealt with previously. From start to finish, Sue was extremely supportive and helpful. Would highly recommend.

I used Laura White for conveyancing. She was always available when I needed to talk to her on the phone, or got back to me promptly. She answered emails promptly and I was highly satisfied at her friendliness, customer service and communication skills.
She made the whole process run smoothly and I recommend her to others needing an approachable, friendly solicitor.
