TAYLOR FAWCETT LIMITED

I recently worked with Victoria Black on my Help to Buy remortgage and was really impressed with the service throughout.

From the outset, she was extremely efficient, proactive, and always one step ahead of the process. Communication was clear and timely, and I never had to chase for updates, everything was handled promptly and professionally. She made what can often be a complex and drawn-out process feel straightforward and well-managed.

Her attention to detail and ability to anticipate potential issues meant the transaction progressed smoothly, and I felt confident at every stage that things were in safe hands.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and proactive solicitor, and I’ll definitely look to work with her again in the future.

I completed on the sale of my property in March 2026 with the services of Victoria Black at Taylor Fawcett. The sale process was smooth and stress free; there was regular contact with updates and all questions and queries were answered or resolved swiftly. I would absolutely recommend to anyone asking.

Victoria Black at Taylor Fawcett helped us with a very complicated house sale. She advocated for us at every stage. I would give Victoria an extra gold star for how responsive she is to emails and her communication is excellent. She far exceeds any other professional we have used to sell houses previously.

As a local Harrogate estate agent, having a strong relationship with a proactive conveyancing solicitor is essential for achieving swift, stress‑free completions. Victoria Black has been superb on the recent cases I’ve had the pleasure of working on. She is an excellent problem‑solver, attentive to her clients’ needs, and consistently keeps the estate agent fully informed.

I recently used Taylor Fawcett for the sale of my property, and I am extremely dissatisfied with the service I received.
When I tried to speak to my solicitor, Sarah Taylor, I was repeatedly blocked from doing so and redirected to Clare Strike, the secretary. She was rude and unprofessional towards me on several occasions, which only added unnecessary stress to an already stressful situation.
Every piece of correspondence was sent by 2nd class post, causing continual delays that could easily have been avoided. Throughout the process, I genuinely felt as though they were making things harder for me rather than helping me.
The most shocking moment came the night before completion, at around 9pm, when I was suddenly informed that they were not prepared to transfer the proceeds of my sale to my bank account. This last-minute phone call, at such a late hour - after months in which they could have raised the issue - almost caused me to have a heart attack! It felt entirely unreasonable and showed a complete lack of consideration for the impact on me.
I have no idea how they manage to keep clients when they treat people with such a lack of respect. I will never use them again.
