Selling a House in a Truts

I cannot recommend Amy Paterson and James Kerswill at Nash & Co highly enough. They handled our recent house sale exceptionally well from start to finish. The sale was more complex than usual as the property was held in trust, but throughout the entire process Amy and James kept us fully informed and guided us through every stage with professionalism and clarity. Communication was excellent. They responded promptly to all correspondence and were always willing to discuss matters when needed. On a couple of occasions, Amy even made time for calls at very short notice to provide clarification on issues that were causing us concern, which was greatly appreciated. Despite repeated requests from the buyer's solicitors for information that had little relevance to the sale, Amy and James remained professional, patient and courteous throughout. Their experience and expertise were evident, and they dealt with every query efficiently and calmly. One aspect that particularly stood out was their proactive approach to client service. Whenever either of them was due to be on holiday, they informed us in advance and introduced the colleague who would be providing cover. As a result, we never encountered an out-of-office response or experienced delays waiting for someone to return. Their pricing was also completely transparent. We were provided with a clear quotation at the outset, and the final bill came in slightly below the quoted amount, which was a pleasant surprise. While there may be cheaper conveyancing providers available, our experience has shown the value of instructing qualified solicitors who genuinely know what they are doing. The expertise, responsiveness and professionalism provided by Amy and James were worth every penny. We are also using Nash & Co in relation to the trust matters connected with the property, and having the same firm deal with both the trust and the house sale made the entire process significantly easier and more efficient along with the fact that they knew how to deal with a property in trust. I would not hesitate to use Nash & Co again for any future legal matters and would wholeheartedly recommend Amy Paterson, James Kerswill and the wider team to anyone requiring legal services.

Excellent service

Amy and James dealt with the sale of my property along with a purchase for my parents. They kept us updated throughout and communicated at every stage. I couldn’t fault the service that we received. Would highly recommend Nash and am actually using them again already due to how impressed I have been.

Good experience of Nash & Co as a first time buyer

I recently used Nash & Co for my house purchase and had a very positive experience throughout. The transaction was more complex than expected, but the team communicated clearly and consistently at every stage and always responded in good time. I particularly appreciated that they were realistic and professional throughout the process - they never overpromised, but kept things moving steadily and made sure I understood what was happening and why. Amy Paterson handled the conveyancing for me and was excellent throughout. I would happily recommend Nash & Co to anyone looking for a reliable and communicative solicitor for a property purchase.

Outstanding Support from Amy Paterson and the Nash & Co Conveyancing Team

If you want to feel properly supported when moving home, we recommend Amy Paterson and the team at Nash & Co without hesitation. Having worked with Amy previously, I already knew how hardworking and dedicated she is, so choosing her as our solicitor felt like the obvious decision from the very start. Her professionalism and genuine care for her clients gave us complete confidence in trusting her to handle our sale and purchase, because when you are dealing with something as stressful and important as conveyancing, trust really is everything. Even with high expectations, Amy still surpassed them. She was incredibly supportive throughout the whole process and one of her biggest strengths is communication. We were always kept up to date, which made a huge difference during what can be a very up and down journey. We never felt in the dark and always knew where things stood. Her knowledge of the conveyancing process is excellent. We had a few legal quirks along the way, and Amy identified them quickly, drawing on other specialist areas within the firm to deal with them efficiently. We genuinely believe things did not drag on because of her experience, her ability to anticipate issues, and her determination to get answers quickly. She also has great working relationships with other solicitors in the chain and with our mortgage broker, which helped keep everything moving. One thing we really appreciated was how calm and level-headed Amy was throughout. Conveyancing comes with emotional highs and lows, and she never added to the stress. She was balanced, realistic, and reassuring when needed, which really helped keep us as grounded as possible during the process. In terms of availability, she was brilliant, easy to contact, and very approachable. If she was not immediately available, she or another member of the team always came back to us quickly. Amy clearly works brilliantly with her team, and we also want to give credit to James and the wider Nash & Co conveyancing team. James played a really important role in supporting us and the service Amy provides. It is clear there is a lot going on behind the scenes, and he was instrumental in making sure things also ran smoothly and efficiently. From onboarding, to accounts, to post sale, everyone we dealt with at Nash & Co was polite, approachable, and efficient. We never struggled to get hold of someone and never felt like a burden for asking questions. The whole team worked very well together, helping to make what was a stressful experience feel far more manageable. We have already recommended Amy, James and the team to friends and family and would not hesitate to do so again. When you are dealing with something as important and stressful as moving home, having the right people on your side really matters. Amy and the conveyancing team at Nash & Co set the standard for how this should be done, and you would be doing yourself a disservice by not choosing them.

Wow, thank you so much, Sue, for such a fantastic and comprehensive review. It really does mean the world to Amy, James and the whole team that you've taken the time to write this, and that you're so happy to recommend us. Moving home can be complicated and stressful, particularly when there are additional complexities involved, so we always want to make the legal side of things as straightforward as we possibly can. A big part of that is keeping people informed, being available when they need us and making sure they never feel as though they're left wondering what's happening. It's especially lovely to hear your comments about Amy and James. The things you've picked out, from making time to talk through concerns at short notice to arranging proper cover when they're away, might seem like small details, but they can make such a difference to someone's experience. We're also really pleased that having our Trusts team and Conveyancing team working together helped make everything easier for you. Being able to bring that expertise together is particularly valuable when a property sale isn't completely straightforward. Thank you again, Sue. We'll make sure Amy and James see your lovely comments, and we really appreciate the trust you've placed in Nash & Co. We look forward to continuing to help you with the trust matters and, of course, we'll always be here if you need us in the future.

Amy and her conveyancing team, especially James with whom I had the most day-to-day dealings, were exceptional. My house sale fell through twice ( both times as the chain collapsed further down) before finally completing on the third attempt so it was a protracted process. At all stages, the team were efficient, prompt in replying to emails, and gave clear advice throughout. They were also friendly and approachable which made everything seem less stressful than it might otherwise have been. I would recommend them without hesitation.

Thank you so much for such a fantastic review, for the ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐, and especially for the recommendation. Amy and James will be over the moon when they read your review and comments. We really appreciate you taking the time to leave the team this feedback. We're sorry that the chain collapses meant that this took longer than first hoped, but we're delighted that you were happy with the work that they did and the service that you received. It means the world when clients recommend us, that's the highest praise someone can give us. Thank you so much.
