Molesworths

I have had the most horrific experience with molesworths solicitors in Rochdale and want to warn any clients and future clients to be extremely careful when taking your business to them. In 2004 I 2ent to them for advice regarding a concerning matter relating to my property , our family home. I was advised to put a Deed of Trust in place which I did costing £450. This was to be registered with the Land Registry as the document states. The property could not be sold without my consent I trusted them with my personal affairs. In 2006 our family home was sold by my Mother, my consent was NEVER sought. She then stole the equity and £40,000 worth of contents was shared out with family and friends and nobody had any room to store anything for me. This is exactly why I went to molesworths for advice, how did this happen??? In 2008 I contacted Molesworths and requested a copy of the Deed of Trust I paid cash for , therefore it belonged to me. I fought them for 10yrs to get a copy, every mth I either visited there offices, wrote or rang. Each time I was informed by reception that there was an outstanding invoice, I requested a copy of any invoice that I was happy to pay but never reviewed anything they n3ver bothered to respond to any letters. I was told out and out lies, one solicitor told me he had taken my case to a Judge for advice who informed him my Mother had no assets and all I could expect was £10 per month. He also told him to tell me did I really want £10 per month off the person who did this to me. How did any Judge know anything about my Mother and her assets ????? In 2018 I wrote and informed them I was going to the papers with this total horror story. A few weeks later I was handed the Deed of Trust in an empty office by head of private clients and then shown the door with no explanations at all. I am still fighting for some answers, they have failed to respond to my formal complaint by law I had to allow them 8wks to respond. Due to illness caused by Molesworths I was unable to get back to it till a few weeks ago and sent an email which they have also ignored. The Deed of Trust was NEVER registered with the Land Registry and I have all the documents to prove this. They have an awful lot to hide, how dare they think they can treat me this way. My son's lost there family home and are totally devastated we were so happy there and no reason for me to sell. I had just spent £15,000 on a full attic conversion and staircase. My sons no longer want anything to do with me because of this, I did my best to stop this from happening. Am I being unreasonable in wanting to be compensated for my losses due to Molesworths deception and fraud. That is exactly what this is there conned me and took the £450 quick enough. I wouldn't want anyone else and there family to go through what my son's and myself have been through because of there deception and greed for money. I will just say before I finish to be very careful when asking for advice and services. I won't be the only person this has happened to and I intend to find them by going to the papers and hopefully they will come forward. I have just seen other reviews it seems I am NOT the only one, have read unreliable untrustworthy do not do as they should with clients business. I will continue my fight for answers and for my slns to be compensated for the horrific emotional distress and devestation caused by Molesworths solicitors.

Efficient and always friendly and approachable. Difficult issues explained carefully and always ensure that all areas of contracts are understood . We have had Kitsa's help many times and would reccommend her and her team with confidence.

I needed to do a new will & Lisa Davies was thoughtful & professional in her manner. She explained all aspects of their service including the benefits of powers of attorney. She kept me updated at every stage. I would use & recommend their services.

Just used MBC to update our Wills and have also instructed the firm to do the conveyance on our house sale. We have found all the staff helpful and pleasant to deal with. Also we found appointments easy to book without much wait, important when leading busy lives. For people living in Rochdale and surrounding areas, its very well placed with lots of parking. Highly recommended.

Only posted 1 star because 0 stars is not available. Do not deal with these lawyers. They are unreliable, untrustworthy and borderline criminal. Paul Dixon (Partner) is not deserving of office as a solicitor. His behaviours towards me were unacceptable by any standards. They do not keep their word or complete tasks asked of them. They ignore correspondance. If they do respond, they do so in an aggressive, unprofessional, obtructive manner. Simply terrible!
