Divorce

Wow, Amanda has made this so simple, I cannot recommend Amanda enough. Well done Amanda. Unfortunately I did place the sale of my 30 year family home with these solicitors and I quickly removes it because I did not connect with Mercedes. What a shame as I wanted Risdons to deal with everything. Never mind, the divorce is going through seamlessly. Thank you Amanda 😊

Not just paperwork

Conveyancing when purchasing a new build and involving PX is trickier and requires education as well as advice. Shifting to joint ownership through use of a declaration of trust affects personal relationships and needs delicate handling. In all respects the team at Risdon Hosegood more than met the requirement filling us with confidence and ensuring a timely house move.
