The Purchase, Letting & Sales of Halsgrove Units, Tiverton

I have been extremely satisfied with using the excellent profession services of Cartridges Law regarding Buying, Selling and Leasing various properties since 2003. 1) In 2003 with purchasing a house in Exwick with the legal help of Julie Strange. 2) In 2010/2011 with Francis Parfrey in Renting industrial premises in Marsh Barton, Exeter, on behalf of a company I worked with at that time. 3) In 2013 with Cyndy Walker when selling a house in Exwick and purchasing a bungalow in Exwick. 4) In 2015 with Robert Bracher in drawing up a Will. 5) In 2021 with Cyndy Walker when selling a house in Upper Rissington in the Cotswolds. 6) In 2021 with Joe Norman when purchasing and later letting to tenants 3 Industrial Units in Tiverton. 7) In 2025 with Richard Westlake with a landlord/tenant dispute. 8) In 2025 to 2026 with Joe Norman and Lisa Noyce with the sales of the 3 industrial Units at Tiverton. 9) In 2026/27+ to be decided, the possible sale of a 4 Bedroom Bungalow in Exwick, I hope with the help once again with Joe Norman and Lisa Noyce once again looking after all the legal matters.

Above and beyond

Richard frequently checked in with me for progress and communication by phone and email. When struggling with succeeding my late mothers housing association tenancy, Richard was helpful, kind and went above and beyond for us. His honesty and communication was great, and this Christmas we have a home which is stable and we have time to recover and sort mum's belongings. Thank you so, so much.
