Very disappointed with the service we received buying our first home with David James.
We purchased September 2016 and didn't complete until January. The process would've been a lot more smooth flowing and quicker if general communication skills were used throughout!!
I was having to call at least 4 times a week to chase up if we'd even been accepted for an offer, and even after 3 weeks we couldn't be told, even though our offer was accepted the day we offered we found out at a later date!
It all ended up with us as buyers contacting both solicitors to see what was happening so by then David James had no input and didn't even know what was happening by this point.
Would only recommend you buy through David James is if you have time to waste.
(One of my phone calls was very rudely ended by me asking if we had a completion date, to then be told 'we're very busy and don't have time to deal with your queries so please contact solicitors yourself')

Quite how they can have any professional pride at all is beyond me. I never want to have anything to do with them again...

It is obviously disappointing to receive a review of this nature, which is not in line with the usual feedback we receive for our Arnold branch. It is obviously unfortunate that this is your perception and we regret that you feel this way.
Given the level of detail presented within the review we have been able to identify the purchase in question. Firstly we would say that if you are experiencing issues, then you always have the ability to highlight these issues to the senior team within the ...

My first impressions of the Arnold Office, pleasant when making the introduction, viewed a property, zero communication after we made a bid on a property, when chased up staff members are rude/sharp down the phone! ...
