Emma Selfridge Lawyer | Conveyancer & Blogger Reviews 

I would not dream of using Emma Selfridge again, nor would I recommend her or any firm she works at to anyone seeking conveyancing services.

My experience was deeply disappointing. Emma came across as condescending, slow, and unprofessional throughout our interactions. Despite initially seeming to turn things around after a rocky start, she abruptly terminated her services without completing the conveyancing work, leaving me, my wife, my broker, and even the lender in a difficult position that required starting over and caused unnecessary delays.

The reason she gave for walking away was that she believed I didn’t "trust her", simply because I followed up directly with the search provider and the local authority to get clarity on progress. To make matters worse, she falsely accused me of saying things I did not say during our phone calls, seemingly in an attempt to paint me in a bad light. While there's no concrete evidence (sadly they didn't record phone calls), it is my strong opinion that she misrepresented our conversations to justify her actions.

In one particularly unprofessional moment, when I asked if our calls were recorded, she retorted that they “don’t need to because they don’t usually have abusive callers.” This was completely unfounded, as our discussions were always polite and civil, if a little awkward.

The unnecessary termination of services resulted in unpaid work on her side and additional work, stress, and disruption for everyone else involved. I would caution anyone considering her services to think carefully. My experience was a costly mistake I won’t repeat.

Here's an update in response to Emma's 'edit' of her original response 22 minutes ago, 18 months after I left the review.

This is definitely not impacting my mental health, and I am not the one who came to make an edit 18 months later. (My edit was prompted TP system email after her edit).

I just re-read my review and every point stands. Maybe Emma has changed, hopefully we all improve with time but that doesn't change my experience and my review is an honest representation of it.

Whilst I don't normally give it a second thought, someone recently mentioned Red Kite Solicitors in my presence and I unloaded on them saying, I have not used RK but if Emma Selfridge still works there I would give the conveyancing department a very wide birth. This is my honest advice.

That said, if Emma ever wants to apologise for what she did and admit she was dishonest about me, I'll be ready to forgive and forget.

On the plus side, as a direct result of Emma's actions I found an amazing, prompt, knowledegable, patient, honest, conscientous solicitor and I have used him ever since.

Very Informative Blog, really enjoy following and learning.

We needed someone to help us with a declaration of oath, Emma was superb, booked an appointment very quickly, and she was super lovely, and professional. We highly recommend Emma! C&A

We completed on our house yesterday, and was made so much easier to understand with the help of Emma and her blogs. We were first time buyers so all very confusing and stressful to us. So thank you for the advice and easy reading!

I came across Emma from her website and contacted her for advice. I didn’t think I’d get such a quick response or such comprehensive advice for free! That’s pretty rare these days. I was really impressed and it helped me make some tough decisions quickly.
After some searching my partner and I found our dream home and then decided to contact Emma again. I was surprised that she remembered me and she was so pleased that we had found our perfect home. I knew I wanted Emma to deal with it all but I didn’t think she could take us on, as we were not based in her area, but she explained that it was not a problem and she got on with the paperwork straight away. As I thought from that moment on Emma went above and beyond to make sure it was all completed for us in the time frame we needed. We’re so pleased we reached out to her. Thank you Emma you for putting up with all my questions! We couldn’t be happier.

Good communication. Thank you

Emma is a superstar!!! Very proactive and helpful. Always answers her phone/emails and is very quick with completions!

Emma has helped me in a number of matters, most recently with some advice on entering a restriction with Land Registry. She’s always helpful, friendly and professional.

Emma is speedy and very efficient. She responds quickly to all queries and kept me informed at every stage of my purchase. When I needed to exchange by a certain date, she did everything possible to ensure that happened. Should I purchase a property in future, I shall certainly use her and will recommend her to friends

Emma acted for me in my sale & purchase excellent service easy to get hold of quick to help with queries and worries professional and thorough. Buying & selling is stressful but Emma took a lot of the stress out of it all.
Would definitely use Emma again and have recommended her to family & friends. Thanks Emma - Angela x

Emma is the best conveyance solicitor I have ever dealt with. This was my 5th occasion to use her and as ever the service was impeccable and professional. Her assistant Elise is also extremely helpful and knowledgeable.

Highly recommended *****

Emma was very swift to respond to my questions, communicated clearly and investigated the auction pack within 48 hours. Super Service! Thank you Emma, looking forward to work with you again soon.

Emma helped my partner and I through every step of buying our first house, she kept us well informed through the whole process and explained everything in a way we could understand without ever being patronizing. We had an ongoing utility take-over issue months after we completed our purchase and Emma helped us resolve this, no questions asked. Would definitely use her again in the future!

Can't recommend Emma enough. Her insight and knowledge mean I always feel she is providing the best service and advice.

I’ve used Emma several times either buying or selling property and wouldn’t use anybody else. She’s always available if any questions arise and keeps you informed all along the process. Emma is the most professional and diligent conveyancer I’ve dealt with and feel my affairs are in excellent hands with her
5stars from me

I would highly recommend Emma. She was very professional throughout and was very easy to communicate with. There was no need for me to do any chasing up as she was always easily reachable. I have and will continue to recommend Emma to all.

I've used Emma on a number of occasions now on various property matters and she has always been very responsive & efficient.
