Louise and her team have been exemplary

5

Being a return client, I already knew Louise and her excellent team members, Kim, Sharon and Helen.

They have been great throughout the process of the sale of the previous and purchase of the new home, and were pro-active when required, personal, responsive, patient and professional. They went above and beyond to get the purchase in particular over the line.

I could not recommend them more highly, and will not hesitate to use them again in the future.

Professional service, as always! Calming and reassuring

5

Louise, Kim and Sharon are always so pleasant to deal with, and once again have demonstrated and empathetic, professional, calm and courteous service. Whilst conveyancing never appears to go without some form of drama, the Team always dealt with us so well, and were so very reassuring. Kim has dealt with my (large volume of) phone calls so professionally, yet with efficiency and good humour - what a star! Louise continues to be such a brilliant solicitor and we always recommend her to friends who are looking for conveyancing help. Thank you all so much for helping realise this project!

Louise Langabeer & Team

We really wanted to say how very grateful we are to Louise Langabeer and her team for all their help over the years. They have helped on several occasions with purchases and sales of property and land and have been wonderful in helping us resolve a very difficult problem with a boundary. We have always been kept fully informed during each transaction and we would highly recommend Slee Blackwell and especially Louise and her team to anyone who needs help with property transactions.

Purchase of 3 Bridge Cottage

Hugely impressed by the ease with which this has been done. From the initial contact with Louise to every single one of those involved it has been a pleasure and instilled confidence in us. I have been particularly impressed that even when Louise was on holiday nothing was left undone.

Property Purchase and Sale

This is not the first time I have used Slee Blackwell Solicitors to represent myself when purchasing or selling property. Each time I use their services, I am impressed by the quality and efficiency of how they operate, as well as the clear communication throughout the transaction process. They understand their customers on a personal level and endeavor to achieve exceptional results even when economic situations arise that require a dynamic approach to ensure success. I could not be happier with the assistance that I have received, and will continue to utilise Louise and her team in the future.

Excellent service for conveyancing. Good value for money too. I also found that after multiple purchaser drop-outs, I wasn't charged more. Used Ms Langabeer for many years. A real professional service. Thanks.
