Wonderful service from Stephensons.
Stephensons took care of legal side during the recent sale of my late mum's property.
Combined with it being the first time I have been a seller plus the emotional side of things I couldn't have asked for better service. They (Gillian and Kate) were professional, caring and informative and I had no hesitation in asking advice. I would certainly recommend Stephensons to friends and family in the future.
A big 'thank you' and a sigh of relief once we had completed! Job well done!

First class solicitors
Kate and Gillian at Stephensons have been brilliant throughout the process of my house sale. Kate has been especially proactive and informative throughout what has ended up been a long and challenging process and maintained excellent communication with me. I am grateful for the hard work that both have put in to my sale and would trust them as fully competent and reliable solicitors for any future house sales.

Last min sale
A big thank you to Kate Williams, Gillian Cooke and the rest of the team for taking on my sale last minute after my previous solicitors closed down just before completion. With Stephensons I completed in just 5 weeks! Much appreciated.
