Fast efficient transaction

I used Cartridges to remortgage and settle a bridging loan, from start to finish the communication was excellent and the portal gave me daily updates so I could see things were moving forward. I dealt with Karen who was brilliant and kept me in the loop at every stage, we had a tight deadline which we met with days to spare. I can’t recommend Cartridges enough.

Amazing service

Karen and her team have been amazing from the start to finish in selling my house. Even with the difficulties of splitting up with my ex and things were not amicable, Karen was very clear about the position of the sale and ensure we were both informed even through difficult situations. I admire her work ethic and how she's always available to speak to and she understand the situation we were in with great sympathy and patience. Her team is always on hand to help whenever I call and they respond so quickly even more difficult questions. Thank you all so much.

Exceptional Service from Start to Finish for Property Sale & Purchase

I cannot thank my solicitor, Karen, and secretary, Eleanor, enough for the exceptional support they provided during my recent property sale and purchase. They were proactive, thorough, and always one step ahead, ensuring everything progressed smoothly; even through some challenging moments from the other parties. Karen's advice was clear and practical, and she was incredibly responsive whenever I needed guidance. It made a huge difference to feel so supported during such a big life event. I highly recommend Karen and Eleanor for their professionalism, expertise, and friendly approach. Thank you both and the Cartridges Law Team xx

Very professional

Karen made the process of selling our property stress free and very straight forward, we would most definitely recommend Karen and will not hesitate in using her again. The whole process from start to finish was made easy through great communication from Karen and her team, and there was no "hidden costs", the cost quoted was the cost we paid...which in this day and age is rare!
