Great idea in principle, costs are fantastic, good initial service. But... Initial house address posted incorrectly and took multiple calls/messages/emails to fix. House took 16 months to sell, even though price dropped by us 4 times over several months. Got referred to partners GoTo for modern auction, again great idea but ended up settling for rock bottom sale price after auction fees. Wouldn't use again tbh

I understand everyone's experience will be different, but from our dealings with Strike, I would avoid like the plague.

We were buying a house through strike as that is who the sellers were using. All throughout the process communication has been very poor. Questions left unanswered. Your never given a direct line to anyone, and therefore always have to go through the national switchboard (each time having to give your life story just to be put through). This is ridiculous, especially when things are moving very fast towards completion.

Our solicitors said that the strike solicitors were very poor and not helpful one bit.

We were never told anything about the chain, or predicted timings.

But to make things worse, Strike misled us about the house and failed to disclose the lack of building regulations for the attic bedroom. It was only due to our solicitor being thorough that this came to light. Once known strike were aggressive and pushy in trying to make us complete with an indemnity policy. Having looked into the issue, we felt that we should renegotiate the price. Unfortunately the sale has fallen through because of this.

Strike can claim that they never knew about the issue, but the house is straight back on the market and being wrongly sold as a 3 bedroom again. Hopefully the new buyers solicitors will pick up on the issue also as I know strike won't mention it.

We are now down £1000s in fees due to being misled.

Save a lot of money! I saved at least £3k on traditional estate agents fees. That's money better spent on removals and any other part of the process

Very Misleading Solicitors, £1k added on top of the original quotation.

I was happy to receive a match quotation from them when I let them know my original solicitor was quoting around £1500. It seemed like a great option when they're in house and my seller was going with Strike too.

However, since then they have continued adding charges to my account. I told them clearly from the beginning about my situation, as I am aware certain aspects can cost more... For example, having a LISA and partly gifted deposit.

But despite this, they have charged me £50 for LISA, £165 for Gifted Deposit (TWICE), £215 for Deed Of Covenant Fee (even though the sellers previous buyer pulled out just before completion so must have known this already) and £145.00 for an expedition fee.... PLUS VAT on alllll of this..... They even tried to add another optional thing that cost another £100 but I opted out.

I am incredibly confused as my quotation literally says... ' Our fee is GUARANTEED not to increase: As long as you instruct us to carry out your conveyancing in the next 30 days, our fee will not increase unless your instructions change.'

'As long as you instruct the Lawyer to carry out your conveyancing in the next 30 days, their fee will not increase unless your instructions change (e.g. you wish to create a trust, the Lawyer is required to liaise with matrimonial lawyers, the property is newbuild, leasehold, shared ownership or there is a defect in the title).'

It is disgusting I am now expected to pay £2500+ when their own website says an average cost of solicitors is £1500.....

Appalling service. Avoid at all costs. Could have been great.
