Ryan Property Law LLP Reviews 

I have used Ryan Property Law twice in the last 8 years for both sales and purchases and found them to be outstanding. They are not a local firm to me, over 60 miles away and yet this posed absolutely no problems. They were fast, efficient, responsive and helpful. I would definitely recommend.

Made our purchase unnecessarily high stress

First attempt to buy failed due to structural repairs with the house and the bank would not lend on it. Money and time was lost in this process but we paid up and pressed on with the same solicitor. Second property found, only we had had to move rental in between (owner wanted to move back in her house), so the 2 month notice period Renters Rights Act) was in place unfortunately this second time. Specifically made this clear to the other 2 in chain and solicitor -asked to exchange early with a date for completion set well into the future so there wasn't a two month crossover of payments at both houses for us. They were very agreeable and understood why we requested this. We provided everything they asked for immediately then months later when we thought exchange was near, they started an investigation into our source of funds 4 weeks before completion, sending us to the bank for historic information we could not get online. This went on for 3 weeks. Going to the bank in person twice over two weekends to print years of statements for their additional information requests, with a Deed of Trust on someone's desk for over a month which we didn't get to see and sign until the day before completion should have all been done earlier if we were to exchange early (as they had agreed to do their best to accomplish). I know we are self employed and its harder to verify but it could have been looked into sooner. After funds were finally verified two weeks before completion I had hoped for exchange but they did nothing for two weeks-the file was awaiting final checks for two weeks.... so we couldn't transfer funds. The firm were aware of our self employment and how some days we could not work local to the banks (there arn't as many physical banks about now) and it would be harder to get to the bank to do a high amount same day transfer (CHAPS) which was necessary for our purchase. We therefore needed notice so it could be arranged with our customers/clients so we could leave our businesses and complete the transfer before the banks daily cut off for the CHAPS which was 3pm but no, right up until the last minute it went! The stress was unbelievable at this point. They were very responsive to calls and emails, polite and they were thorough with everything BUT If you could be faced with 2 months rent/mortgage, council tax and bills due to a longer notice period, it makes sense to put notice in sooner. This is a stressful position to be in, with notice in but potentially no home if it all collapses. Ryan's did not in the end deliver the early exchange, not even a week earlier ! They seemed to want to alleviate the stress /talked about it with me but the final month of the process made us feel investigated and like it was never going to happen, until the last day. We exchanged and completed on the same day. All sudden and last minute and our seller was so upset with removals waiting on her drive from 8am and keys available at 4pm.... I wouldn't have minded if there were delays caused by the seller/seller's solicitor but we genuinely felt that it was our solicitors that made this feel so difficult and worrying in the end.

From beginning till last everything very professionally handled very clear on how whole process of selling house very satisfied

I had a good experience with Ryan Property Law both in selling and purchasing my new home .
Melissa and Kathryn were very professional and responded to any questions I had during the process .
I would definately recommend them .

If you like lies, frustration and risk choose Ryan's. Solicitors for the purchase of our property. 10 month process for a chain of two. Two week response date to any email. Failed to advise client properly, culminated in their client trying to collect the keys on a date when completion failed. Requested thier client's deposit at 2pm on the actually completion date. Our estate agent stated they had never seen a sale handled so poorly. Advised by the third member of our chain to drop our buyer.

Buying a house can feel overwhelming, but working with Ryan Property Law LLP made a real difference. The team was incredibly supportive, approachable, and clear when explaining all the legal details and paperwork. Everything was handled promptly and efficiently right up to completion. Thank you for making our house move a more positive experience.

I use Ryan property Law for every purchase and every sale. I can’t speak highly enough of them. They are efficient in every way and always recommend them to friends and family. Will definitely be using again in the future.

Ryan Property Law helped us with an issue relating to a piece of land on our property that required registering with the Land Registry. They identified the issue when other solicitors had missed it.

The service was excellent. We were kept up to date at each stage of the process with clear and helpful explanations about what happening and why. Different potential outcomes were shared with us along with what that meant and how they would be actioned.

We felt reassured at a time when it could have caused worry.

We were really pleased with the efficient, friendly, professional service we received.

I would highly recommend Ryan Property Law and will not hesitate to use again in the future.
Thank you Neil and team!

We instructed Ryan Property Law for our recent home purchase and we couldn’t be happier with the service provided. They were very attentive and provided lots of guidance throughout what can be a very stressful process!

Particular thanks go to Emily, Amelia, Melissa and Debra. Thank you for making our second home buying experience so smooth! Highly recommend!

Same as every other 1 star review from people’s experiences of these being their buyer’s solicitor’s. Very slow and very poor communication, another simultaneous completion despite all other third parties pushing to exchange prior. It was only a 2 house transaction and we didn’t get our keys until 16:45 due to this firm not being able to exchange the contracts until 14:00 on the day of completion, an extremely stressful experience. If I ever sell again I will not be accepting offers from anyone using this firm.

They are very professional and friendly, trying the best to help while making during all is done properly. Especially Kathryn M and Sophie S thank you.

I first used their services to purchase my home 10 years ago and was amazed by the exceptional level of service they provided. When I decided to sell the property this year, I turned to them again for assistance. As expected, I was once again impressed by their professionalism, expertise, and dedication throughout the process.

Amazing! - l found the care & support provided by Vicky & Kathryn during the sale of my house over & beyond my expectations.
I wish the firm every success in the future.

Now in the nineth month of selling a flat, completion NOT yet completed on the sale.
There seems to be no commitment, empathy or urgency in the practice to get two hard working young people in their new home.
Every week they are 'not ready'
A very incompetent solicitors company.

Excellent service. All staff are knowledgeable and polite keeping you well informed of progress with someone always available to answer your queries.

Terrible people to deal with, as others have stated.

I'd stay away unless you want to chance your sale falling through.

In our experience, this firm felt slow, forgetful, and completely disinterested in getting us into our home. It seemed to us that nothing moved unless we pushed - chasing them honestly felt like a part-time job. When we raised our concerns about how long things were taking, the response we got was about 'national averages', which to us said everything: this came across as a firm content to aim for mediocrity. Buying a home is stressful enough without feeling like your own solicitors are the obstacle. We wouldn't use them again.

Strange. I filled in their enquiry form and sent it off to them but no-one replied. Gave them a couple of weeks. Poor show. Have gone elsewhere.

I used the services of Ryan Property Law for the first time to sell two of my houses, with one completing in April 2026 and the second in June 2026. Claire Leckenby, together with her assistant Megan Parker, handled both sales, and I was extremely pleased with the service they provided.

They were professional, efficient, and maintained a consistently high standard of communication and support throughout the process. I am glad that I chose Ryan Property Law and appreciated the attention Claire and Megan gave to each sale.

I would certainly use the company again in the future and would have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

Thanks to everyone at the company and especially Claire and Megan, for the excellent service.

When selling and purchasing property a friend recommended I use Ryan Property Law. I am so glad I did. They were extremely approachable and completely professional. Phone calls were answered straight away and emails on the same day. My concerns were taken seriously and solutions found for problems. I can't recommend them too highly.
