TrustpilotUnexpectedly bad
I hired The Partnership to purchase a one-bed apartment in central London for £325,000. The Partnerships lawyer fee was 30% above the next highest quote from other solicitors, which I paid hoping that I would get a reasonably good service.
In reality, my transaction got delayed by 3 weeks than it reasonably should be expected to complete. I had to convince my own solicitor that we can't rely on inaccurate info supplied to us by the seller without evidence. I felt pressured to just "get on with it" and go ahead with the transaction as is, when it was clearly not beneficial for me. On top of high-end base fee, which I agreed to pay, I got unexpectedly upsold by +50% for work I outlined to them before I hired them and back then the sales person said nothing about this additional fee. I found out about additional fee in the financial statement. They added the fee only after I exchanged, but before completed. This way I had almost no chance to question it, dispute it and had to just pay it. Their response times at many points throughout transaction were quite long, when someone goes on two-week holiday, they say there is a replacement, in practice though work simply stopped. They would answer clear yes/no questions, but they ignored any questions where I asked them to share their experience and judgement. They just ignored and I had to send them questions again and again to get some kind of an answer. Their advice and guidance for exchange and completion process was extremely limited, I had to use ChatGPT given the time sensitivity. Overall 1/5 for all the reasons above.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We apologise for any negative experience you had working with us. Of course, we never want a transaction to face delays, but some of these will be out of our control, especially with things like enquiries and council involvement. We act in our clients' best interest and would never try to push anyone into making a decision without being informed - we always encourage questions and communication whenever anything unfamiliar crops up.
We apologise if any of this didn't ring true in your case.

TrustpilotThe Partnership - slow progressing enquiries
The Partnership app is great for having everything in one place.
Where they let us down was in their slowness to respond to enquiries, even when our buyer was also using The Partnership. So at critical times it relied on our Estste agent constantly chasing to ensure progress.
Even then there were aspects of the transactions (i.e. house contents not included in the sale where we were asking for money, where there was never any resolution).

TrustpilotThank you to all the team at The Partnership
We received a first class professional service from The Partnership. I did have some concerns regarding using an 'online' service, rather than dealing with people 'face to face'. However, Manisha, Louis and the team were very friendly, approachable and always available to speak with if we had any concerns or questions. From start to finish, they dealt with the process in a prompt and efficient manner. Being able to view progress on the Portal, enabled us to be kept informed every step of the way. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Partnership.

TrustpilotExceptional Service That Made Buying a Home a Breeze
My experience with Partnership Solicitors was nothing short of fantastic. They transformed the usually daunting home-buying process into an effortless journey. Their use of a communication portal was a game-changer. Having all my documents in one place, accessible at any time, along with the chat function, meant I could get in touch with them whenever needed. This level of organization and accessibility was incredibly reassuring.I want to extend a huge thanks to Michelle and Kirby, who were absolute superheroes throughout this process. Their professionalism, prompt responses, and ability to handle every detail with care made a significant difference.For anyone embarking on the home-buying journey, I highly recommend Partnership Solicitors. Their combination of expertise, efficient communication, and exceptional customer care made my experience not just easy but truly enjoyable. A heartfelt thank you to the team for their outstanding service!

I have noting but praise for the company and its employees, my conveyancing was made awkward because of the buyers incompetence yet The Partnership managed to steer it through these obstacles. I was particularly impressed that every time I had to phone to phone them I would always be able to talk to the people who were feeling with my case, something that rarely happens these days

Michaela and Atena were lovely and helpful. Two things were not great, I was asked when I was thinking of completing and I stated that end of September as my tenancy was ending. Then I was not informed that the searches were completed and therefore I felt we stalled in the moving date. When I questioned how much longer the searches would take, I found that they were complete and suddenly that day I received many forms to read and complete. Secondly I had to chase Fred and ask what was happening as I had not received any messages from him, it is easy to forget that we as the general public do not do this very often and therefore need communication to know what to do next. I should not have to chase you for information.

TrustpilotThe easiest 5 stars I’ve ever given
I have never been so confident giving a 5* review. Abi, Saskia, Daria and others who I dealt with were fantastic. They went above and beyond to ensure I understood what was happening and were happy to answer the many questions I asked. As a first time buyer who was buying alone, this was a huge help and made me feel much more comfortable going through the process. I got weekly updates which were really helpful and I could see a summary of what had been completed and next steps on their portal at each stage in the process. The first sale fell through but I decided to stick with The Partnership as I had been so pleased with their work. Now I’ve got the keys to my new home, I can only say how grateful I am to Abi and the team for their efforts. I would recommend them again and again!

I am very disappointed with the poor service received.. I would have thought that more could have been done to resolve the lease issue on the first purchase I tried to make. The second property I finally bought took 16 weeks to go through with no chain. No one spotted the service charge was not yearly but quarterly until I raised this. There was a second probate that was raised in week 14. It took 8 months for the sale of my late father’s property to go through. I felt there was no customer service and staff were rude. Unable to see historic billing and the partnership were unable to prove they had billed me correctly.

TrustpilotThoroughness good but big questions on timely delivery
The thoroughness in checking all the minutiae of leases etc was good. However we instructed The Partnership on the purchase of a garage on 08-Aug-25 and completion was only achieved on 14-Jan-26. I cannot understand why it took 5 months. It caused us a lot of trouble with the seller who exceedingly frustrated because he was told by his solicitor that it could happen week commencing 17-Nov-25.

The Partnership were recommended to us and have been absolutely amazing! We had a very challenging 18 weeks of instruction (due to external factors), having Ronnie and Ffion instructed to take care of our case was a huge sense of reassurance. We received weekly updates, a clear and up to date status dashboard and were able to speak with them whenever needed. A particular shout out to Ronnie, she went above and beyond her role and is a true asset to the business.

All aspects of their service were excellent, but the thing I valued the most, and which took away a lot of the stress associated with a house sale/purchase, was the promptness with which all my queries were responded to as well as the weekly progress reports on a Monday morning. The portal is also excellent, very easy to use and very clear to see what is still outstanding. Also, if one member of the team was away there was always another member to assist. I would definitely recommend The Partnership.

I have used The Partnership three times now, and as always they provide a professional and stress free service. You may pay a little more for their conveyancing, but it is worth every penny, given that you never need to chase, they are completely transparent and you can always see by logging onto the portal what stage you are at in the process. A great job, and would definitely recommend.

TrustpilotSmooth house sale
Smooth house sale. Had little phone contact as it was not needed but messaging on portal allowed me to juggle move details with work commitments and uploading documents (rather than sending hard copy to solicitor) means I still have access to them if required for other purposes. Bank account details needed to be verified after working hours the day before completion, which seemed a little late to be picked up on. But not an issue and everyone I dealt with was approachable and professional. Thank you to Laura, Marianne, Jo and Vidya for a job well done!

I am incredibly thankful to The Partnership and especially Kate A, and my assigned solicitors Henna & Steve.Extremely polite, understanding and efficient.

You aren't kept in the dark, and everything can be done quickly, aside from any physical paperwork that needs to be sent of course.I'd sincerely recommend The Partnership, it's a stressful time dealing with property but their service has been utterly worth it, and everyone I've dealt with has been incredibly helpful.
