We recently moved from Herts to Dorset. Our first solicitor in Herts pulled out after a few days, so we needed a replacement quickly. A family friend recommended Claire Colborne at Battens, so we engaged her to carry out conveyancing for our sale and purchase. Having "sold" our house in Herts, we reserved a new-build house in Dorset in October. However, our buyer pulled out in December. We found a new buyer in March and we moved late-June. A few days before the long-planned completion date, our buyer's buyer suddenly objected to the handling of his deposit. We contacted Claire, who quietly and quickly resolved the problem by negotiating with our builder and all was well. Throughout the whole rather prolonged and difficult process, Claire and colleagues worked quietly but very diligently, so that the actual conveyancing was handled more quickly than in the rest of the chain. On completion day, Claire handled our part of the finances very quickly, so the move to Dorset on a Friday afternoon/evening in summer could take place as planned.
