Nothing but stress, chaos and delays
I’m giving Kidwells two stars, both of those stars were earned by individuals, one by Alan and one by Tianna. Without their efforts, I would have given zero stars if I could!
Honestly, I don’t know where the 5-star reviews for Kidwells come from. My experience with them was nothing but stress, chaos and delays!
1. The app – completely useless
The app was, in my experience, practically pointless. It was rarely updated and the information shown was often inaccurate or unclear. You have no way of knowing whether someone has actually picked up your messages or documents, which makes the whole process even more frustrating.
2. Communication – extremely poor
Communication was one of the biggest problems. You hardly ever receive any meaningful updates unless you make a million phone calls. When you do call, you are usually asked to leave a message because the person you are trying to reach is never available and, more often than not, nobody calls you back!
That one star I’m giving to Alan is because he genuinely tried to improve the situation and repair the relationship. He was proactive in trying to address our concerns and was the one person who seemed to understand how frustrating the experience had become.
Unfortunately, his efforts could not overcome the wider problems we experienced.
3. Overall chaos and lack of organisation
Emails apparently cannot be found, documents that have already been provided are requested again, and complaints are not properly acknowledged or dealt with.
We provided all the relevant paperwork in May, yet the same documents were requested again in July! This left us wondering what, if anything, had actually been done with our case during those two months.
To make matters even more stressful, our case was reassigned to a different conveyancer, Tianna, only two days before completion. Despite having to pick up a complicated case at extremely short notice, Tianna managed to get on top of everything and ultimately finalised the sale and got the transaction over the line - the second star in my review is entirely for her.
I am an experienced trader and have bought and sold several properties over the past few years and have dealt with a number of conveyancing firms. In my honest opinion Kidwells was by far the worst conveyancing experience I have ever had!
Buying or selling a property is stressful enough without having to constantly chase your solicitor, wonder what is happening with your transaction, resend documents and receive little or no communication.
Unfortunately, despite efforts from Alan and Tianna, based on my overall experience, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere if you are considering using Kidwells for conveyancing.
