A tricky sale and purchase made good.

When I almost failed to complete on my sale and purchase at the very last minute Herrington and Carmichael were brilliant. Their persistence and advice paid off. Thanks Annari and team!

5 star service from start to finish

I had the pleasure of dealing with Laura & Holly throughout my sale and purchase process. Nothing was too much work and they made sure I understood everything beforehand. Wasn’t the smoothest transaction due to factors out of our control but the dealt with it so professionally!

Herrington Carmichael - by far the best for house sale and purchase

5

Everyone from Herrington-Carmichael who have helped us with the sale of our house and purchase of our new one have been professional, efficient but friendly and approachable.
We are in our 70s, have bought and sold a number of properties. This is far and away the best firm of solicitors we have ever met.
They are very highly recommended.

There are Angels
They say moving is stressful but the team I had on board throughout my sale and purchase pulled out all the stops to get both over the line. In all I had six dealing with all the aspects on both.
I had a problem that my lease showed a parking space my Landlord just took away to build a driveway to another property. He thought it could be resolved with a Variation Agreement but the Land Registry rejected this so my team got to work with surrendering my original lease issuing a new one but in the name of my purchasers to speed things up and saved the day.
I cannot thank them enough for a tremendous job and being so helpful throughout

As first time buyers using HTB, we were really nervous about the whole process. We’ve been told time and time again that solicitors are awful, they won’t respond, you’ll have to chase them etc. Well this was not our experience at all! Laura Oakley was incredible from day one, replying to emails within the day every time despite my many questions. We had an issue with having to ask for permission to keep pets in the property and she sorted this and got consent for us within days (as you can imagine this was sooo stressful for us so we were grateful for the speed she did this in!) I’ve called their offices a few times when I had questions I wanted to get sorted quickly and she (and whoever else picked up) always responded in a very friendly manner, like nothing was too much. We’ve just Exchanged and I’m hoping completion goes just as smoothly.
Couldn’t recommend Herrington Carmichael more, I truly believe our journey has been so smooth due to Laura’s commitment to helping us
