  Whilst all the other solicitors I contacted about my case seemed more interested in detailing charges and handing out next to no advice Stephen went above and beyond on my initial call. He was informative, detailed and really seemed genuine to help me. This is how to conduct business. Trust is key!

  The work Sobea, Hayley and team have done for me throughout the house selling/purchasing process has been invaluable. Always professional, always knowledgeable, vastly experienced and importantly, approachable and friendly. Would I recommend them? Absolutely! No hesitation.

  I can absolutely recommend Sobea and the team at Bank Solicitors. I found Sobea to be incredibly helpful and reassuring in what is a difficult time. Her knowledge and advice has helped me navigate through the divorce process and I would be happy to recommend her.

  I was looking for some advice on Estate Planning (wills etc) and approached Bank Solicitors in Bromsgrove - hadn’t used them before. I was offered a free 30 minute appointment with an experienced solicitor and I have to say the advice to myself and my wife around Wills, Will Trusts and Tenants in Common was invaluable. Sobea (solicitor) and Hayley (paralegal) were professional, friendly and, above all, explained things in an easy to understand way. I am intending to engage Bank to move things forward for us over the next few weeks.

  We had to pull out of a purchase of a bungalow about a year ago because of your incompetence, taking so long, refusing to respond to phone calls etc, £250 + vat for a simple indemnity policy, as opposed to other solicitors who told us they would charge £90 + vat. we paid our deposit and heard no more than 12 months later we get a bill for the full amount plus the indemnity we don't need (normal solicitors purchase indemnities on exchange but not these clowns).it's taken 12 months to send a bill, nearly as long as it took us to get hold of a solicitor to discuss our purchase. Worst solicitors we have ever come across. DO NOT INSTRUCT THEM. EDIT: Their unprofessional and incorrect reply was "we couldn't afford the mortgage", we purchased a house £50,000 more than the offer we had accepted on the bungalow so it couldn't be further from the truth. And we used a solicitors that only took 3 months, shows how long they took, they have stated themselves they took 7 months and weren't close to completing the purchase.

  Two years ago we visited Bank in Bromsgrove with a view to purchasing my mother’s leasehold from the freeholder. We met Sobea. The ball was in motion. We heard nothing after paying the deposit. The freeholder pestered us and Bank. We contacted Bank, answered usually by an irritated young woman. Eventually we received the paperwork, signed and returned it. The freeholder was very happy with his big fat cheque. However, we still don’t know whether Mom owns the freehold and after many phone calls to Bank asking for paperwork proving the freehold is now Mom’s and constantly being told HM Land Registry are on a ‘go slow’ due to the pandemic, we have given up asking. So is the freehold hers or has she just blown nearly £8,000? I will never use this company again and would never recommend it. The lack of communication is appalling! Two years on and we have nothing to show for it!

  Divorce and house sale. Super polite with professional advice and good recommendations for best next steps etc. BUT......Attention to detail, thoroughness and response times poor with signed documents handed in to a person in branch clearly lost as they asked for them again 1 week later electronically. Communication between departments, other solicitors and myself was at best average throughout the whole case. i must of identified and highlighted half a dozen mistakes made by bank which delayed the process and cost me a lot more money due to increased communication between all parties involved. Sometimes waited over 3 weeks for a reply to a quick one line follow up e-mail and it felt as if they were down by 50% staff but continuously told they had no staffing problems. If i hadn't baby sat the whole case from start to finish, highlighting problems, ie admin mistakes, oversights,issues with not receiving documents and court delays not picked up due to lack of follow up in a reasonable timescale, it could of taken years. In addition, errors from them not checking documents correctly meant i lost out on money and on my final bill i was even sent 2 invoices which i had never been sent to me from 9 months prior because they weren't on top of things, not impressed to see these suddenly appear. I couldn't wait for the the case to completed, the stress caused was unnecessary. Sorry i cant give more than 2 stars but i feel i'm been generous giving that. GOOD LUCK!
