Takes the stress out of moving

I've been trying to get a house for over a year and the whole time, I've been incredibly stressed. Working with H&C has been painless, and their agents update you promptly and often, offering helpful insight to me, someone not in the know about moving house at all. I'm especially grateful to all the agents that assisted with my case, including Ellena, Alex, Tom, and Jake (sorry if I've missed anyone), as they have all been approachable and personable.

4 weeks from instruction to exchange

Even during a time when many agents and solicitors typically warn clients in November that they won't be able to complete before Christmas, I was able to exchange contracts in under four weeks, securing my house purchase with completion set for early January. Ellena was not only meticulous throughout the entire process, but she also took the time to explain everything in simple terms. This greatly facilitated navigating various stages of the purchase and empowered me to make informed decisions. I would wholeheartedly recommend Ellena to anyone looking to buy or sell in the future, and I will definitely rely on her for any legal matters going forward. If you are looking for a solicitor, don't go anywhere else. Outstanding service—thank you so much!

Conveyancing of our property

My wife and I would like to highlight the outstanding work that Ellena Balshaw did in the conveyancing of our property. She managed the original sale, when we moved into rental, and then the purchase of our new property. Ellena showed true ownership throughout, demonstrating excellent communication skills, always getting back to us, staying late at times and working over the weekend to meet deadlines. She has excellent knowledge in the subject matter and we cannot praise her highly enough; we will always go back to Herrington Carmichael and ask for Ellena to manage and future purchases. We would also like to thank Joshua Watkins for his overall management of the conveyancing.

We used Ellena Balshaw in the Boyes Turner Residential Conveyancing team for our house move, and she was simply brilliant. What should have been a straightforward transaction became far more challenging due to a difficult buyer who pulled out, returned, and then appointed an extremely slow firm on their side. Their admin-led approach caused repeated delays, with decisions unable to progress without solicitor sign-off, despite Ellie clearly communicating our fixed completion dates. At the same time, our sellers were keen to move quickly as they were leaving the country. Throughout the process, Ellie kept us regularly and clearly informed about where things stood, the position with both our buyer and seller, and exactly what we needed to do next. She also proactively liaised with our estate agents and other parties to keep everyone aligned, meaning we were fully prepared and ready to proceed ahead of others. I would highly recommend Ellie to anyone buying or selling a property.

Moved home many times and have seen good and bad conveyances. But never Outstanding…. Until now. Ellie Balshaw took over from the brilliant Stella Perry and hit the ground running. Her help, advice and overall support were such an important part of making a difficult situation seem easy. Ellie was a star. Thanks Ellie.

Harrington Carmichael have helped us to purchase and sell of property. During purchase Jo Cockram had helped us during 2018. So we have gone back to the same solicitor to sell our other house. This time Ellena Balshaw along with Jo has helped in every step. Thank you both for professional help.
