I had an amazing experience working with Matthew and Vivi during the purchase of my first home. As a first-time buyer, I was a bit nervous about the process, but they made everything incredibly smooth and stress-free. They were professional, responsive, and always willing to answer my many questions with patience and clarity.

What really impressed me was how efficient they were — they helped me to complete the purchase within just 6 weeks, which was far quicker than I expected. Their attention to detail and dedication gave me real peace of mind throughout the whole journey.

I couldn't be more grateful for their support and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and friendly solicitor team!

Great, very helpful

Really pleased with the level of customer service from Tiffany from start to finish. Always keeping us up to date with the process. Tiffany was very polite and professional. She did a superb job. Thank you very much!

Excellent customer service, communication every step of the way. Fast response with any questions I had and will use again. 5 star service. No faults here, great set of staff.

I am very happy with the conveyancing service provided by Core Legal excellent job in conveyancing my purchase

I am very happy with the conveyancing service provided by Core Legal York Office - they did an excellent job in conveyancing my purchase of a leasehold flat.

It took less than 7 weeks to complete on the 31 March 2025 just in time right before the increase in Stamp Duty taxes, saving me in higher SDLT.

I am very pleased with how the Core Legal team worked together Vivi, Ellie, Matthew to provide updates and running the process smoothly.

I am glad I was referred to them, will definitely use their services again and recommend their services.

It took 6 weeks to complete. Once you get the log in details to digital profile, it just goes really smoothly. It actually took Vivi 5 weeks to complete my purchase as I've completely missed the log in email for the first week! (Email went to junk). Vivi was very tentative and answered all my questions as we went along. It's easy to follow the process with Cores digital profile, it tells you exactly what's going on. I am thankful I was referred to you

My buyers solicitors .. I would never use or recommend very unprofessional and worse of all lie all the time. The lady dealing with the buyers sale was constantly on the sick causing a nice easy first time buyer sale to drag on then she left! and another solicitor had to pretty much start again, even on the day of completion caused issues ! avoid avoid avoid

I can’t imagine having a better solicitor than Chris Anderson in Core Legal Newcastle’s commercial conveyancing team. Ours (through no fault of Core Legal’s, linked to issues with the purchaser) has been an unusually protracted and difficult transaction, with many twists and turns along the road to completion. Chris has been exemplary throughout and we are truly grateful to him. There were 4 separate parties each with their own solicitors in our transaction, and Chris’s high standard of work, very fast responses and ability to get the crux of the matter quickly, made the others look amateur. He has consistently been there for us and gone above and beyond over a long period to bring this to a successful conclusion. I can’t recommend his services highly enough.

Core legal were fantastic throughout the purchase of our first home.

Always professional, communicated well. Answered all of our queries in a timely manner, explained each step very well. Suresh was brilliant on a very stressful completion date due to seller and key handover delay (Seller fault).

Suresh was really supportive and therefore kept me calm. Rang me the following morning, first thing to check in. Which I really appreciated. Cannot thank the entire team enough for all their help in making the process run so smoothly.

Highly recommend Core Legal.

Easy, stress free process from beginning to completion using their portal kept me updated.
Responsive, approachable customer service, need to highlight Vivi's "can do" approach, especially at the end of the process when I needed support an information flow the most.
Thank you again Core Legal team.

There are four families in the chain to sell our house, it is six months now and we are still waiting on core legal to finalise things. They do not pick up the phone or return emails to inform us if they are ready for completion. I will be taking this to the Legal Ombudsman also the SRA

Awful awful awful, very straight forward sale no chain and still managed to make a complete mess of it despite saying 12-16 week completion
Never available, they ignore you, lie about contact with other parties, forget to do searches, repeat paperwork and send everyone round in circles
Cost our buyers nearly 12k in additional rental payments as they managed to drag it out for 11 months and gave a different reason to everyone each time for the delays
They may be a bit cheaper than any other firm but it is honestly not worth the stress and delays caused
Apparently they are well know for being very poor, wish we’d have known this before agreeing via estate agent to use them!

Core Legal were engaged in 2019 to extend the lease of my father's flat as well as several others in the same block. After his death in 2022, I took on liaison with the firm on behalf of my mother. All the other flats were completed thanks to my efforts in January 2024 ... except ours.
They then cut off all contact with me: they won't reply to emails or letters and don't return calls.
They've been paid for a service which 5 years later still hasn't been delivered and there is no prospect of getting it done. The Legal Ombudsman dismissed my complaint (as seems to be their habit judging from reviews on here) so it appears that Core Legal has kept my father's fee without delivering the service.
Isn't that theft by most yardsticks?

3 stars only due to lack of customer service at times. I feel this company needs a customer relations department firstly to inform customers of how the process works in selling / buying a property what the necessary steps are , expected time frame etc etc - I had no idea what to expect but had I been informed I probably would have understood the process and not of had high hopes all the time. I also feel a customer relations department would help in weekly updates to inform customers of any updates , on occasion more than 1 email was ignored and there was at one point a 3 week wait on a response. Even if there is no update for the customer but just to send an email to say we have looked over your file this week and all on track nothing to update - as a customer and having worked in customer service departments previously I understand how important it is to keep customers up to date and this may help reduce the volume of incoming emails and phone calls to the company / solicitor , with customers chasing all the time.

Diabolical service-AVOID!!!!
Dealing with the sale of my property. Delayed for 3 weeks due to Dawn Walsworth sending exchange of contract documents attached at the bottom of an email outlining their Christmas opening hours (or lack of). Dawn also never responds and is abrupt when she can actually be bothered to. Also left documents sat on the desk for a week that needed to be passed to buyers solicitor. Unable to get an answer to a simple question and then Dawn blatantly lied and said she hadn’t heard from buyers solicitor when they had in fact emailed twice and chased core legal. At the point of terminating sale due to the incompetence of this ‘firm’. Ended up emailing my buyers solicitor myself for answers and the poor estate agent has made it her life’s work chasing. No attempts to chase why I hadn’t returned documents, no contact or updates unless I have chased and now delayed until at least 10th January for completion because they frankly can’t be arsed to do what they are paid to.

We are extremely happy about the services by core legal limited, especially Ms Tiffany Daniels​​​​.

Thanks

Lucy was great throughout the house sale. She kept me informed at all stages and answered any questions I had. Would definitely recommend.

We were first time buyers. We had a good experience and the team answered every of our doubts. However, we would have liked better communication and updates on the whole process promptly.

Lucy at Core Legal Limited was absolutely fantastic from start to finish, helping us with every enquiry and getting the purchase sorted as quickly as possible, always being available via phone or email, despite the seller's solicitors being extremely difficult to deal with. We would definitely use Core Legal again and recommend to friends and family! Thank you so much for helping to make would could have been an extremely stressful experience as stress-free as possible Lucy!
