I experienced some set backs with Direction Law and the sellers solicitors in relation to communication. A purchase that should have taken a couple of months took 6 and was only treated as urgent once I complained and made a nuisance of myself which was unfortunate. The solicitor handling my file refused to speak to me when I called in frustrated however the head of department there was very helpful and empathetic. Overall the company seems well run structurally but communication was an issue. They need to also remember that they’re dealing with peoples lives that can be turned upside down due to the property purchasing process.

Dear Malachi,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We understand that there were significant delays in progressing your case to the point of exchange of contracts, as we were awaiting the building insurance and head lease documents from the seller's solicitors. This was unfortunately out of our hands as we are reliant on the response times of the seller's solicitors and their ability to provide the necessary documents in order to satisfy our legal enquiries and thus proceed to exchange of contracts. We are very glad to hear that our head of department was helpful and empathetic, and we fully take on board the issues you have raised in relation to communication. Thank you for your feedback, which we will use constructively. We wish you all the best with your new home.
Kind regards,
Direction Law

They do not act for you, you are simply a transaction
Getting through to them over the phone is difficult, and the processing is slow. My name was spelled incorrectly every time, even when a letter (the purchase contract) was sent to my home. My flat-mates did not know who that person was, it was not only a misspelling, but I was calling someone else, which delayed the process. Despite the fact that I am from another country, they had all my bank statements, ID, etc. I wouldn't use them. Manny.

Antwort von Direction Law
Dear Manny,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry to hear that you feel the process was slow and delayed. However, I would like to point out that we received your draft contract papers on 22/12/22 and your case handler ensured that contracts were exchanged on 24/01/23. This is actually less time then the 28 working days that we aim for in terms of exchange of contracts so we do not agree that our service was slow in this instance. In terms of your ID and bank statements, we have a legal obligation to comply with anti-money laundering regulations and these documents are required for this. We do apologise again for the clerical error regarding your name, however I understand this was rectified on our systems and your purchase went ahead using the correct spelling. We would like you to know that we take these matters very seriously and that client satisfaction is very important to us so we will use your feedback constructively.
Kind regards,
Direction Law

Do not use Direction Law. Trust me.
We had the worst experience ever with Direction Law. The 2 people assigned to our case were completely and utterly useless and had no interest in acting on our behalf, despite being hired to do exactly that. It took us 7 months to sell our shared ownership apartment because they never once responded to an email or answer the phone. No chain on either side so it should have been much quicker than this, but our lawyers at Direction Law would go for weeks without any communication and claimed they were chasing things from certain companies when they weren't because us and our buyers would hear first hand that they had never heard from Direction Law. We were taken for a complete ride. We had to chase every single email we sent at least once and had to leave multiple voicemails just to get a call back. At no point during the sale process were they willing to give us any sort of advice or timescale on the sale - every time we asked they dismissed us and said they could not disclose any information or offer any sort of advice. This led to them giving us 7 days notice to exchange and complete which left us homeless and in severe financial difficulty. They continued to shift the blame onto everyone else when it was their lack of communication and action that got us in this position. We sent complaints throughout the process directly to the 2 people on our case and they were never acknowledged or responded to. We were having to communicate with our buyers on a daily basis because their lawyers were getting no response from our lawyers at Direction Law, so we had to continuously be the middle men between our buyers and the lawyers, which is not how it should work. We were told things like 'our computers are broken' & 'our phones don't work' as an excuse for ignoring all of our correspondence. Even on completion day Direction Law refused to give us our money on the same day unless we paid an additional fee, to get our own money in our account so we could hand over the keys on a date that they forced us into by not communicating with us at all during the process. We have multiple emails and messages showing how little they communicated with us and how much they ignored us throughout the process. We filed an official complaint after the process was complete and they dismissed everything. I urge you to never use Direction Law. Trust me when I say it is not worth it. There is a reason they are cheap and unfortunately we fell for that - I hope you don't after reading this review. They are the most incompetent, disrespectful, rude and useless people we have ever worked with. Do not use them.

Shared Ownership:lack of eye for details
The responses were prompt and service was good but there were consistent errors that had to be pointed out. It made us nervous when the contract had factual errors re rent, maintenance fees. Infact, even the invoice had errors that included costs like mortgage fee when we had not taken a mortgage. We felt like we needed a lawyer to check our own solicitors paperwork due to this.

Absolutely nightmare
Absolutely nightmare.
Goes through 12 months of your bank statements on an online app called “Thirdfort”
Asks for details of certain funds even if it’s from a family member or partner.
They also don’t answer calls often.
I’ve had to now pull out so that’s a waste of money. I’m now with another firm whom only ask for 3 months statements.
Worst and very stressful experience.

Dear Kloe,
As a law firm, we have a legal obligation to comply with anti-money laundering regulations. This means that we must always check the source of funds for your purchase, even if this means the deposit is being gifted by a family member or partner. We're sorry to hear you feel you have received unsatisfactory service and we regret that we were not able to act on your behalf in this instance. We wish you all the best.
