I would like to begin this review by thanking my personal conveyancer- Casey.
Casey has provided myself with a service unlike any other. She has responded to emails in a timely and appropriate fashion, providing most adequate of explanations with regards to questions asked. Casey's expertise and professionalism were evident throughout the settlement process. I thoroughly believe the ease with which our property settled was due to Casey's competent work.
My recommendation can not adequately be described by only 5 stars, hence the glowing review.
After being referred to Nevett's by a local real estate agent I was purchasing an investment property from in late 2019, I was initially looked after by a very helpful staff member. Sadly, a month before settlement, this staff member left and my file was hand balled to someone else who was not as competent. In addition to this, once settlement came around, suddenly the fees I was quoted for this work skyrocketed! So as not to delay settlement, I paid the requested fees in full. Then, a day after settlement went through, I receive a bill for over $600 for fees Nevett's claim were passed on by the lender's solicitor. So I requested proof of these additional charges, but none was provided. Therefore, I refused to pay them, given that settlement had gone through and there was no justification provided for additional fees. However, after months of "reminders" being sent to me for this outstanding invoice, I was served with papers to appear in the magistrates court for unpaid fees! I could not believe it! These solicitors are the worst I have ever come across in my life and I have bought and sold many properties over the past 25 years. Do yourself a favour and stay well clear of these incompetent sharks!
