My experience of using Slee Blackwell in Braunton was an extremely positive one. Steph was very professional, prompt and knowledgeable with her advice and made the sale of my property a smooth one. Thank you for a great service!

Property Sale

Slee Blackwell has assisted our family many times over the years, always providing excellent service and this was no exception. The property sale was part of a deceased Estate and Steph was very professional, caring and understanding of our position. Whilst one of the executors resided in Australia, Steph and her team responded quickly and efficiently to any questions and they ensured the whole process was carried out in a trouble free seamless manner. I would highly recommend Steph for any property transaction and I look forward to catching up with the team on my next visit to the UK.

Very positive, get on with approach. Answered all questions (how ever silly they may seem to the professional) very promptly. Kept us informed at all stages of the purchase process and very much made sure we understood the pros and cons of purchasing the property.

Sale of property

4

Slee Blackwell carried out the conveyancing for a property I was selling. By enlarge the service I received was good. However there were occasions where I felt that my emails were not answered either in a timely manner or in a couple of cases not answered at all. Paperwork was clear and the final statement was easy to understand. Just think that communication could be improved.

I bought my house through Slee Blackwell 14 years ago so thought I’d sell it through them too. They were very on the ball and the whole process was painless for once. 2 months from start to finish which I was very pleased with. I found Steph and Mel to be very responsive and straight forward.
No hesitation in recommending their services. Thank you!
