We recently bought our new home with Beaumont`s legal expertise. Julie Powell did the first legal work efficiently and thoroughly and provided us with the relevant information. Our file was then forwarded to Bethan, who was assisted by Jodie. Bethan and Jodie were both excellent at providing us with frequent updates. They were also proactive in tracking developers when updates were missing. Overall, a great experience. We would not hesitate to reuse Beaumont and recommend it to our friends and family. Thank you to everyone involved in our transaction. James is an attorney at Beaumont Legal based in the Wakefield office. James joined Beaumont in May 2014 as a legal assistant and has made progress internally, qualifying as a lawyer in June 2018. James advises clients on a range of issues including real estate, lease and non-registered sales/purchases, transfer of ownership and co-ownership. Beaumont was recommended to us by our real estate agent and Oliver was our lawyer.
He was amazing! There were some very frustrating moments with our buyers, but Oliver calmed us down and stayed calm even when we weren`t! He was always at the end of a phone and kept us informed of emails. He was very professional and understanding and we recommend using Beaumont for all legal property matters. Used Beaumont legally as recommended by Barratt Homes. We were first time buyers and a bit worried when we first look at other reviews, but we had no problems from start to finish, our case was handled very well by Laura C We reviewed Oliver Dyson from Beaumont Legal for our move. Oliver was amazing! The other lawyers in the chain were extremely problematic, insensitive, indifferent, and seemed overwhelmed and unable to facilitate anything. Oliver was exactly the opposite, totally professional, very knowledgeable and extremely responsive and happy to discuss any issues. Oliver also played a leading role in providing solutions and getting things done for other lawyers. The purchase would have failed without him. Probably costs a little more than an undervalued transportation service, but 100% what you need to do. I can`t recommend it highly enough! My experience with Beaumont Legal has been very good. Given the external factors within my channel, my lawyer Michelle Rock was very clear and concise about what stood out and always kept me informed. She was always very polite, friendly and also very approachable, which was much appreciated as a first time buyer.
Thank you, Michelle. My worst experience was hiring a lawyer. If you plan to use this company for transmission, follow my advice and run a mile. They never answered my calls, never answered any of my emails and I was never able to seek legal advice at any point in my transfer process, even though I had paid more than £2000 in legal fees. I have never been able to speak to a receptionist who is not legally qualified to give advice. I never managed to talk to a qualified lawyer until the very day the contract was exchanged, when she finally called me when it was too late to do anything anyway. Absolutely appalling customer service. I lost £4000 on my sale due to their failure to further develop my transfer which was a simple rented apartment and it took almost 6 months! Avoid this lawyer at all costs. My experience was actually in 2021, but I was able to file this review because I didn`t want to compromise my ombudsman complaint I had filed against them. By the way, the legal ombudsman was just as useless as the lawyer himself, so don`t bother relying on them if you find yourself in a bad situation like me.

This is the 2nd time we have Beaumont legally for the sale and purchase of a property. As with my first experience, they are extremely professional, truthful and offer a stress-free experience as moving the house is quite stressful without having to deal with the paperwork involved. Michelle and Natalia were fantastic in their communication and made sure every little detail was covered. Thank you for making our dream come true.

If I could give zero stars, I would. I underwent an equity transfer for our apartment with my brother, which started the first week of September. At first, Beaumont legally hired us with a clerk (Phebe) who sent us all the relevant details, and I filled them out and sent them back by registered mail when all the problems started. After 3 weeks without hearing from them, I decided to call them for an update, but even it was a struggle. At first it was almost impossible to call her and try to talk to Phebe, I probably would have had a better chance to call the queen and talk to her! Every time I rang the bell, it was an excuse after another, not at his desk, at lunch, during a break, on the other line, I called 10 times a day and maybe talked to him once. Their communication with us was terrible, I didn`t know what was going on or what stage my candidacy was at. In the meantime, my brother had found a house he wanted to buy, and we needed this equity transfer to happen as soon as possible. I drew Phebe`s attention to this point, but again no urgency, it doesn`t matter.
A month passed with nothing, October arrived at the beginning of November still nothing. In the meantime, I called them every day for updates, but I didn`t get direct answers, they told me something they were waiting for the land registry, and I would contact the land registry and they would tell me they hadn`t gotten anything from Beaumont Legal. As you can see from the length of this review, they have done a very unsatisfactory job, they are not professional, have no urgency and do not care about their client and the situation in which he finds himself. Avoid using them at all costs, they are not worth it. It took more than 3 months to get there, and that`s when I was chasing them every day, if I never pursued them, I would always wait until it was over. AVOID AVOID AVOIDING!
