Doncaster Branch

Dealt with Doncaster branch with regard to our purchase. Absolutely the best legals I have ever used! Not once did I have to ‘chase’ for information!

An excellent service from Anna who…

An excellent service from Anna who worked on the conveyancing to pay off a Help to Buy loan on my behalf. She was successful in geeing them up when they failed to respond to my correspondence. Would definitely use again, both Anna and Malcolm C Foy Solicitors. Highly recommended.

Excellent service from Doncaster…

Excellent service from Doncaster Malcolmcfoy team. Specifically Jessica Brooks was always there to answer any queries I had with my purchase of new property. Happy with the service and would definitely pick them as first choice for anything in future.

Let us down this time

Previously used Malcolm C Foy with great results however this time was not good, conveyencing dealt with by Jill McKay was a disaster, many mistakes made including sending emails to the wrong person and fobbing off complaints with the comment "people make mistakes", not good enough.

Anna was brilliant

Anna has been fantastic throughout. Moving house is stressful and our process was very long (9 months). Throughout she had great communication and answered any questions that we had as first time buyers with no clue what we were doing. After all I heard about solicitors before, this was put to bed by Anna. Fantastic and highly recommend to anyone.

Making a stressful situation better

I have had the pleasure of instructing Anna Betteridge on multiple house purchases and sales over the years and have always been impressed by her attention to detail. My most recent sale/purchase was unfortunately marred by many delays, some particularly tricky bits of legislation and poor communication between the other solicitors (absolutely not on Anna’s part), but she persisted and kept me updated throughout. I suffer really badly with anxiety and as we all know, buying and selling houses is one of the most stressful things you can do (!!), and I do believe she accommodated for this wonderfully, doing all she could to reassure me and keep me grounded in reality when I started spiralling into worst case scenarios! It did really feel like she was on my side and now I’m in my new home I am so unbelievably grateful. I found their prices to be really reasonable and the quality of work excellent. Would recommend to anyone buying or selling in Yorkshire.

Excellent Service

We recently had the pleasure of working with  Anna Betteridge while purchasing our new home, and we couldn't be more satisfied with the legal assistance we received, from the very beginning, their professionalism and attention to detail were evident. One of the standout aspects of their service was their thoroughness. They meticulously reviewed all documents related to the purchase, ensuring that every detail was in order and that my interests were fully protected. Their expertise in real estate law was clear, and they were able to identify and resolve potential issues before they became problems.

Communication was another strong point.  
Anna was always available to answer my questions and explain complex legal jargon in a way that was easy to understand. They kept me informed at every stage of the process, which greatly reduced the stress typically associated with buying a house.

I also appreciated their proactive approach. They coordinated efficiently with all parties involved, including the seller's attorney, the mortgage company, and the title insurance company. This coordination ensured a smooth and timely closing process.

Overall, we highly recommend Malcolm C Foy & Co, Anna Betteridge for anyone in need of legal help when buying a house. Their expertise, attention to detail, and excellent communication made our home buying experience as seamless as possible.
We will definitely be returning to them for any future legal needs.

Writing a will

I have relied on Sarah Thiede's knowledge and expertise on a number of occasions, the latest being to amend my will. She is a delightful person for whom nothing is too much trouble. I trust her implicitly and know that I am in very safe hands when I am consulting her, as it is like being advised by a very efficient and professional friend. I would not hesitate to recommend her to friends and colleagues.

First home purchase

I've received the contact details for this soliciting company through my mortgage advisor - Jessica Mason and Pamela Bowes have guided me through the purchase process. Emails were exchanged timely, all of my questions were always answered promptly and the purchase has gone through with no issues whatsoever - I am now a happy home owner. Thank you ever so much!

Exceptional service by Malcolm C Foy!

Don't recommend it

I have come across some positive reviews on this platform, although my personal experience with Malcolm C Foy & Co, particularly with Donna Moore, the "Head of New Build Property," and her assistant Kelly Jones, was quite disappointing. I feel compelled to share my experience in the hope that it provides constructive feedback for improvement. Most positive reviews are short and meaningless to some extent, so I am unsure how much they actually represent reality.

Regrettably, my interaction with Donna Moore and Kelly Jones was not in line with the professional standards I expected. Communication was lacking, and there were instances of perceived rudeness. Rather than fostering a collaborative atmosphere to gather necessary paperwork, their approach seemed more authoritarian, using threats and treating us as though they were the clients, and we were the service providers. Unfortunately, by the time this behaviour became apparent, we had already committed to their services, having paid a substantial portion of the fee, making it financially impractical to switch providers—a tactic that seems to be exploited.

What was particularly frustrating was the absence of clear communication regarding the reasons behind certain requests that appeared unrelated to the matter at hand. Instead of providing explanations, demands and threats were issued, creating an uncomfortable dynamic. It became evident that our interests were not being prioritised, but rather, their own.

I acknowledge the challenges of finding a reliable solicitor, and I am mindful that experiences can vary. However, based on my personal encounter, I would exercise caution when considering Donna Moore, Kelly Jones, or anyone associated with Malcolm C Foy & Co.
