Outstanding Service

Engaged Meadows Ryan on recommendation of our estate agent, John D Wood.
They were very responsive and communicated really well. Always available and returned calls promptly.
Our 1st buyer fell through which Alastair Hargreaves predicted due to lack of activity from the buyers solicitor.
Our next buyer was in a rush but due to holidays everything happened in a week including exchanging and completing on the same day. All handled coolly and clinically by Alastair. it did help that he was very local so signatures were never an issue.! Great job.

In have been with the firm since the 1990s, and my father before me since the 1970s. This is testament enough to the fact that each department within Meadows Ryan is diligent, knowledgeable, professional and has always given my family a great service. We trust and depend on them for all business and family matters.

Alastair was very professional in my dealings with him and although I aborted the purchase I will definitely seek his services when I find my next property.

I would recommend everybody to use Meadows Ryan. We were lucky enough to use Alastair Hargreaves at Meadows Ryan Solicitors for our first house purchase. After a very stressful experience with estate agents and a property that fell through, Alastair kept us reassured and provided some great advice. Alastair was so helpful and patient throughout the whole process and kept us updated the whole time through to completion. All of the team at Meadows Ryan are very professional and reassuring. Everything ran very smoothly start to finish which really helped during a daunting new process for us.

Thank you again! Lauren and George.

Alastair Hargreaves easily gets five stars for his handling of both the Sale and Purchase of properties for us. Alastair is highly responsive, always available, completely professional, creative when we needed to resolve issues, dealt with ever changing dates calmly and went more than the extra mile when our purchase was delayed. He did everything possible to get us Completed before Christmas. Would happily work with Alastair again and will definitely be recommending him and Meadows Ryan in future. Thank you very much!
