Great communication and advice on a very tight schedule

I needed some auction property advice, which involved a very tight turnaround and very little initial information. Chris kept me up to date with his progress, was proactive and I always felt comfortable that he was aware of deadlines and of my own personal objectives in this transaction. Excellent customer service and interaction. Thank you.

Extremely fast and efficient

They could offer a much faster service than any other solicitor could, thanks to good communications and advise on how to go about searches and getting necessary documents.

Chris supported us throughout the 18 months it took to purchase our home. Our sellers faced numerous obstacles, but Chris and team were always efficient, responsive and easy to communicate with. I would definitely recommend Nelson’s

Professional, Caring and Efficient

Chris and his team were very professional, easy to talk to, and always there for us. We had used a different solicitor when buying our first house, and working with Chris was a completely different experience. We feel very lucky to have found him after our first experience. Chris was always on top of everything, kept us updated at every step, and regularly checked in to let us know what he was doing and how things were going. He explained everything in a way that I could easily understand, which gave me confidence throughout the process. That made such a difference, because I never felt left alone with the stress of it all. The whole process from start to finish only took two and a half months! When we faced disagreements with the seller, Chris stepped in straight away. He gave us clear legal advice on the best way to proceed and even took the time to reassure us so we didn’t let frustration or anger get in the way and risk losing the sale. That level of support was invaluable. Along the way, I also had other legal issues come up, and I was really happy that I could reach out to other teams within Nelsons to get them resolved quickly. It made me feel like I was in very good hands and that the firm as a whole had my back. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone needing a solicitor. He is knowledgeable, quick at responding, efficient, and most importantly, he genuinely cared about us as clients. Buying a house can be stressful, but Chris and his team made it feel smooth and manageable. Even during the summer holiday season, when I expected everything to stall, his team kept the case moving — even when Chris himself was away. That level of dedication really impressed us. We will definitely use Chris again in the future and cannot recommend him highly enough.

Rachel Bushell, Ash Simpson, Michelle Pollard and Chris helped us with four residential remortgage cases recently and the entire process was very smooth and only took 4 weeks (one case only took 14 days!) which in the current Covid environment is nothing short of a miracle! Very happy with the professional services and expertise of Nelsons' residential and commerical conveyancing team and Nelsons' corporate team and would highly recommend them to anyone.

first of all, I would like to say a huge thanks to Kurt Gunby ,who has worked so efficiently and effectively to get my auction property conveyancing done within a strict time frame I had. he was always there to answer all the questions and queries I had and to get the things done quicker which could have taken much longer with any other firm. As well special thanks to Chris Huntingford to see it thru all the way. I am very happy with the friendly service and active approach to resolve the issues. Definitely recommend to all and will definitely , 100% be using them again in future :) Noor

We used the services of Chris Huntingford at Nelsons for the sale of our flat. He was brilliant to liaise with and to discuss matters with - always quick to respond and highly efficient and helpful. Likewise the support staff at Nelsons were very impressive; polite, switched on and they always did what they said they would. I'm in no doubt that we'll be using the services of Nelsons (and Chris Huntingford if available) in future if we need any legal help.
