SAM Conveyancing Reviews 

We used SAM Conveyancing for the purchase of our first house, a freehold property. We initially liked the idea of having someone to help keep things moving along, and Ehren was very thorough with this. As things progressed we ended up speaking with our solicitors more, and were pleasantly surprised to find it so easy to get in touch. Very happy with how everything worked and we have now moved into our house.

Excellent service. Pleasant, fast and efficient. Would highly recommend.

The service was very good. SAM were very flexible when we had to make changes to our plans and surveys were booked at short notice.

SAM could provide interim results informally while waiting for the full report which was helpful. The report we received was clearly laid out and post-report support was on offer.

A streamlined and easy process. Provided a competitive quote, arranged a survey within a week, and turned around the report shortly after too. Overall an excellent experience!

I cannot fault SAM for their friendliness and service - Charlotte was amazing from start to finish, as well as others I spoke with. Admittedly, I was very 'on it' with chasing, but they never left me without a response. Some minor issues with Chadwick Lawrence due to a change of solicitor but nothing that affected my purchase - in fact, the seller was extremely difficult and not always forthcoming, but we finally completed today thanks to CL/SAMs hard work.

Great service. Really fast and no fuss arrangements. We didn't have to do anything.

The surveyor contacted me on the day to explain what they had been found and then we had the report by the evening.

As a result of the survey we were able to negotiate money of the price of the house.

SAM Conveyancing were extremely responsive, were able to give sound advice on what survey to carry out and when, and were timely in arranging a suitable date. Not to mention our surveyor's report was comprehensive and the follow up call was much appreciated.

Engaged SAM to handle a deed of assignment for me. The process was completely painless and very efficient. It’s the second time I’ve used them and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

The Sales executive was very friendly and helpful. They handled organizing the survey with the surveyor and the estate agent, which took the hassle out of it for us.
We received a detailed and good quality survey back.

I would like to thank SAM conveyancing for a swift dealing in my issue. Amanda Ambla and Ehren Elcock looked after me in such a professional manner, they was very informative a direct to the point. They was so helpful. I would recommend their services to anyone else and I will definitely be using them in future if I need.

I organised my homebuyers survey through Sam conveyancing and I found them to be really helpful, they were the cheapest quote that I found, had availability to book in within a week, and communications with the team were really friendly and straightforward. The surveyor was also really helpful and thorough. Would recommend.

We regularly arrange surveys for all our property purchases through SAM Conveyancing and have recently commissioned them to undertake over 100 surveys of our properties to enable us to monitor their condition. Chris provides a fast and efficient service at a competitive price, taking the hassle out of finding a good surveyor when we need one.

Needed to get a Deed of Assignment drafted for rental income. Was competitively priced and quick turn around.

I would think very carefully if I were you. I used SAM Conveyancing (in reality an unregulated and unaccountable intermediary) to produce a Deed of Assignment. Initial contact was very positive, with all of my questions politely answered and the process well explained. After you pay your £240 fee (which I shall return to later) you are unfortunately in the hands of Chadwick Lawrence, a law firm based in Yorkshire (they have some “interesting” reviews on here, with which I fully concur). You receive a 2-page draft Deed in a few days which you are asked to check, sign and have witnessed. You then return this to Chadwick Lawrence at your own expense and a few days later you receive a certified copy via email. Note: a certified copy of the original Deed, and NOT the original Deed. The “fun” starts when you ask for the original to be returned to you. Bear in mind that this is your property, and this is what you were promised and paid for. All of a sudden there was a change of mood music. Statements of “usual practice” were made, additional fees were demanded, and there was absolutely no acknowledgement of any shortfall whatsoever from the contracted service. I was also taken aback at the defensive and condescending tone of the emails from the co-founder of SAM who responded to my concerns in a very high-handed and inappropriate manner. When challenged he was unable or unwilling to produce anything from his sales pitch which led you to believe that you were going to end up with anything other than an original Deed of Assignment. After chasing, which elicited a further off-hand and defensive email, I was eventually sent the original (erroneously stamped as a certified copy! - which of course it is not, as it is the original!) at no additional cost as a “gesture of goodwill”. It is disappointing that “goodwill” did not appear to feature before this completely unnecessary confrontation. It’s really not that difficult SAM. You enter into a contract with a client to provide a service, which you then provide. No “ifs” no “buts” - just deliver what you have been paid to deliver first time and without fuss. In terms of the actual Deed of Assignment, you don’t have to spend £240. Get yourself a decent template online (they are about £20), follow the instructions and fill it in. As if by magic you have a perfectly legal Deed of Assignment. You don’t need the services of SAM or any solicitor. The only reason I used SAM was I wanted to be sure that everything was “watertight” - but I needn’t have been concerned and wish I had been better advised that this is a very simple document which can be easily produced with a well drafted online template. I am under absolutely no illusion that the response to this review will follow the usual pattern of defensiveness, obfuscation and personal attack, so as I said - I would think very carefully before parting with your money for this “service”.

UPDATE: The response from SAM is a disgrace. It is word for word lifted from an email sent to me a week ago when I complained about the service and does absolutely nothing to address the issues I raise. Specifically the misrepresentation of their service, which fails to mention that you will NOT receive an original Deed of Assignment. Merely a certified copy.

Ehren was super helpful in guiding me through the services I'd require in order to reach my intended outcome. Even when I changed services and required refunds, affairs were handled swiftly. Always willing to help, answered multiple questions and most importantly; with accuracy and speed.

I used SAM Conveyancing to pay off my Help to Buy loan. They assigned me to Ben at Chadwick Lawrence, who handled the legal aspects efficiently.

I started my redemption process on January 14th, and within a month, I received the authority to complete. Now, I’m set to finalize everything on February 19th—exactly on schedule.

Ben has been very responsive via email and provided phone updates whenever needed. Looking forward to completing the process soon and hoping the post-completion stage goes just as smoothly.

Very happy with the service, great communication. Highly recommended.

I got a quote online for a property related issue. When I spoke to them on the phone, they (Chris) advised that an alternative/ cheaper approach will give me the same results. Ended up saving me over half what I expected it to cost. All the work went through quickly and without any issues. Overall, great price with a quality service. Will use again.
