We were very impressed with the fast and efficient service Leanne provided. Everything was well explained. We would use the services again and have already recommended to friends selling in the area.

A very big thank you to Leanne who dealt with our conveyancing on our recent house purchase and sale. We found her very easy to work with, only contacting us if something was needed or if we had questions. Didn’t need to chase to make sure things were still moving forward and she even managed to push for completion before the stamp duty change saving us more money, even though we thought we weren’t going to make it! A great service!

Communication from Leanne has been very clear and emails/calls were responded to in a timely manner. Leanne was very easy to liaise with and gave me clear guidance which was much needed at times. Katie Lane also was involved in my case and again she was very responsive and easy to deal with. I would definately recommend Foort Tayler on my experience.

Leanne did a fantastic job at getting our purchase over the line in under 12 weeks. She communicated updates promptly and was very clear on progress and timelines whilst maintaining high professional standards. Whilst maintaining her honest opinion that completing before the end-March deadline would be difficult, she managed to deliver with time to spare. I would highly recommend anyone to use Leanne for purchases in the future.

Excellent. All the team were professional, but with special thanks to Leanne Smith and Katie Lane, who were both always on hand by email or phone to answer any query raised. Information provided was always fully explained in layman’s terms. The whole process was carried out with extreme efficiency. They made the other solicitors involved in the chain, look very slow and sometimes inaccurate

Deciding to sell two houses and buy another in three months is not a small undertaking.

From the moment we engaged with Leanne I can honestly say her service, communication, speed, diligence and professionalism has been second to none.

In particular I really appreciated the level of availability Leanne afforded us, I was always able to speak with her and she always had time for me. Responses to requests came back at lightning speed and she chased other elements of the chain constantly.

I have not had a service as good as Leanne’s in all the times I have bought or sold houses, should I be in the need of conveyancing again, there are no others in consideration.

Thank you Leanne

We cannot thank Leanne Smith enough, she has been absolutely amazing with the conveyancing of 3 properties. Leanne has helped us so much during the process, we honestly don’t know what we would have done without her, she is a true asset to Foort Taylor, the best conveyancer ever! Thank you so much Leanne!

I used Leanne Smith for the conveyancing for the sale of my old flat and purchase of a new one. Both had their own challenges and were not straight forward but Leanne was communicative, supportive, clear, efficient and a pleasure to deal with. I have had patchy and frustrating experiences with conveyancing lawyers in the past but, at last, I have found some one I would use again and happily recommend to anyone.

Encouraged by the experience of my line manager, I instructed Foort-Tayler for conveyancing of my first property purchase. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Leanne was knowledgeable, kind and always found time to address queries, concerns and general first time nerves. Grateful and impressed.

We used Foort Tayler for the sale of our house and the purchase of our new house. I was thoroughly satisfied with the very professional service that Leanne and her colleagues provided. They did everything very thoroughly and promptly and I would have no hesitation to recommend their services to anyone.
