We used McKeag's for conveyancing as first time buyers. They kept us in the loop throughout the process and made everything easy to understand. Entire process couldn't have been any better. Highly recommend!

Purchase and sale

Wow, what can I say, I have in the last experienced solicitors where as the client you are constantly chasing and pushing. Mckeag & co have been a breath of fresh air, I cannot express how amazing Chris Thomson has been in getting my sale through after the chain very nearly collapsed due to my seller! All along I have been kept informed , he has been exceptional. I will recommend them to anyone going forward and will not use any other firm in the future .

My sale and purchase wouldn't have been possible without Chris Thomson. He was brilliant in every respect - really clear, provided excellent advice, proactive and quick to respond (and chase other parties too).

Chris and his team at McKeag and Co. dealt with the selling and buying for our recent move. We anticipated things might take a bit longer due to Covid, but the conveyancing team were proactive and quick with both their work on our behalf and their replies to our questions throughout. For competence, approachability, sensible advice and price we couldn't fault them. A five star team!

Lorrie, many thanks for the excellent review. We value all feedback from our clients. The Covid pandemic has been a trying time for all, us included, but we have managed to maintain the excellent level of service expected by our clients. Chris and his team welcome you back in the future should you need their services. Thank you. McKeag & Co.

I write this review as a director of an estate agency and I can safely say we have a lot of experience with solicitor firms. Selling the property is the easy bit - sales progression is another matter and you need a trusted and quality firm in your corner. It's not about referral fees for us. We pride our own business in offering the very best service and in order to do that our 'go to' solicitor firm is Mckeags. Chris Thomson is highly knowledgeable and knows his stuff in all aspects of the field. We are based in Great Park and it has its fair share of conveyancing difficulties due to the nature of how things are set up when the estate was built plus being an ongoing development - when we sell a property here - we tell our clients you need Mckeags on the job (road adoption indemnities, sections agreement requests, management company info, deeds of variation, ancient rent charges - it all gets sorted out and when you use Chris for your sale your paperwork is rock solid). Solicitors do get very busy and there will be times when they are working through files however we can safely say that when needs must - we get answers and solutions very quickly. They have worked consistently through the covid pandemic where others have fallen apart. Sometimes getting a sale to go through can take longer than you hope however there are many influencing factors. We've never found Mckeags to be anything other than a necessity. Choose local and the fees are very reasonable.

Catherine, many thanks for the glowing review. We too take pride in offering the best service we can and are thrilled we can help your business do the same. Chris and his team always go above and beyond to provide an outstanding service to all of their clients and we are proud of the service levels they sustained during the Covid lockdowns. We welcome your business and are extremely grateful of the recommendations you provide and the new clients you send our way. We look forward to hearing from you again. Kind regards McKeag & Co

Top class service - I fully recommend this firm and trust them to provide an excellent service. From a conveyancing point of view their local knowledge and expertise are invaluable. If you are selling a property on Great Park or anywhere for that matter this is the firm to use.
