Disappointing

2

We had previously used Slee Blackwell for a litigious matter (Emma Slade) and we could not fault the service - from beginning to end Emma was nothing but professional and always kept us well informed on how the matter was progressing with a good outcome.
This time however we found the service to be completely different - we never met Monica in person throughout the whole process. She was on leave when the contracts/Transfer documents needed to be signed and it was arranged that we would meet with her colleague, Emma Napper but instead when we arrived we were met with the receptionist who seated us in the reception area to go through the paperwork. There was no opportunity discuss /explain the paperwork we were about to sign. The matter was due to complete and we were asked to forward funds and due to the amount we had to transfer the funds in two separate amounts - we received no acknowledgement that the funds had been received and telephoned the office to confirm receipt the next day. It was agreed that we would be responsible for the payment of the other sides fees which amounted to £672 - considerably less than yourselves bearing in mind that the documents were prepared by them. The matter proceeded to completion on 30.6.2023 (we spoke with Caroline Bulpett - who was very lovely). Finally, we received an email from Sally, Emma Napper's secretary, to confirm completion however she also sent the email to a Michelle Fuller who is no connection to us???

I'm really sorry to hear that the service was not as high as your previous experience of using us. It can be frustrating for clients when staff take annual leave, and we always try to make arrangements to ensure that a transaction continues to run smoothly. I will speak to Emma about your experiences to see how we can improve things in future, but in the meantime please accept my apologies. Kind regards, Lee Dawkins, partner.

Civil Dispute and Conveyancing

Emma Napper assisted us with our new property build in Buckland Brewer and we couldn't recommend her enough, as she made it a smooth process for us. We then needed assistance with a Civil dispute and Zoe Harker-Smith advised us on this matter.

Emma Napper acted for me on a house purchase recently. I was really impressed with the service, she and her secretary kept me informed as to the progress of the transaction, always returned calls and were professional and friendly throughout. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing a solicitor for a household purchase. David, North Molton

Brilliant Service, you couldn't ask for better!

Used Slee Blackwell Solicitors Barnstaple to assist in the completion of a Settlement Agreement with my employers. The service provided was very swift and most professional, and the solicitor obviously dealt with such matters on a regular basis. I could not possibly find fault with any aspect of the service. 24 hours from initial telephone call to case resolution. Just what is needed when time is short.

A very professional service from a great team

Emma Napper and her team have supported me and my elderly mother both in securing Lasting Power of Attorney and in property conveyancing. They have been fast, efficient and very clear in their advice. They have delivered an excellent service in a timely, patient and courteous way and I have no hesitation in recommending them.

From start to finish the service with Slee Blackwell has been excellent. Emma was very good and her advice got us to a good result at the end. This firms mission statement regarding crossing the T’s and dotting the I’s and with this I totally agree with statement and I would personally recommend this firm to anyone who need results for their toil and the Justice you so rightly deserve. Communication was also excellent throughout. Thank you.

Emma Napper has acted for me once before and is currently acting for me again on a house purchase and sale. As always she is very professional, approachable and friendly and constantly keeps us up to date with the progress of our sale. Emma's fees are reasonable and competitive. Highly recommended.

I've recently instructed Slee Blackwell (Emma Napper) for the second time as the first was such a positive experience. Emma is highly professional and communicates promptly & clearly. The legal transaction proceeded quickly & efficiently with a complete absence of stress. The fees charged were also very reasonable. I highly recommend you use Slee Blackwell for your legal needs. It was of no consequence whatsoever that I don't live near Bideford & never went into the office.

We have now used Slee Blackwell twice. Each time we dealt with Emma Napper. Emma was professional, helpful and responsive. Their fees on both occaisions were less than quoted (not by much, but every bit helps!). Happily recommend them and as and when we need a solicitors they will be the first we call.
