I rarely leave reviews, not least a negative review, as I appreciate reviews like this can have a big impact on a business. However, my buying process with Taylor Rose was deeply frustrating and traumatic, so I share this to inform prospective buyers’ decisions when selecting a solicitor. I initially instructed Taylor Rose to be a solicitor in my London flat purchase. The source of funds was part mortgage, part cash, of which the latter was transferred from overseas. My father is an expat but employed in China and has his salary deposited in Hong Kong, so the money transferred came from a Hong Kong bank account. I provided all documents required, including income tax documents and bank statements, but Taylor Rose’s compliance team were not able to let me complete without a document from the Chinese outward remittance application, even though the money transferred did not touch Mainland China. This was made known to me by their compliance team right before exchange and I was forced to instruct new solicitors, as they weren’t able to complete. My case was referred to as a complex case, though the property value was significantly under £1M with no chain. My new solicitors were able to complete within a month with the same documents. Also to note, my solicitor at Taylor Rose never picked up the phone and communication was painfully slow. The only time I spoke to him was when he let me know we would not be able to exchange contracts. As a first time buyer, this was a horrendous experience that I wouldn’t wish on anyone. If you are buying with funds coming in from overseas, I would highly advise you opt for a firm / solicitor that is familiar with that country’s financial regulations.

I had a fantastic experience with Taylor Rose. Jackie at the Peterborough branch was excellent. Her communication was fantastic and was incredibly on top of everything needed doing. I was able to buy my first property with an incredibly quick turnaround after being unexpected asked to leave my rented accommodation. I had less than two months to move in to a new property and Jackie somehow miraculously managed to achieve this. I wasn't even sure if such a quick purchase was possible but with Jackie's attention to detail and how willing she was to chase up with the vendors solicitor, it was a complete success. She went above and beyond and I felt incredibly safe in her skills and knowledge whilst I jumped feet first in to this new stage of my life. I would wholeheartedly recommend Taylor Rose and was delighted to work with Jackie. Thank you so much!
I cannot recommend Cassey-Ann, Bethany, and Tracy highly enough! Throughout the purchase of our first home, they were exceptionally quick to respond, striking the perfect balance between professional expertise and genuine warmth. Their guidance made what could have been a stressful process completely seamless. We are so grateful for their help and recommend them without hesitation
Rebecca Byrne from Taylor Rose was absolutely amazing!! Brilliant communication throughout, especially as we were first time buyers and had no clue on the process! She got us completed within 7 weeks, highly recommend to anyone 😊
Sale and Purchase with Lauren Alder at Taylor Rose We had a fantastic experience with the sale and purchase of our house. A special thank you to Lauren Alder at Taylor Rose. Lauren's communication was outstanding from start to finish. She kept us informed every step of the way, answered all of our questions promptly, and made us feel completely reassured throughout what can be a very stressful experience. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lauren and the team to anyone buying or selling a home. Thank you again for making everything so much easier!
