Couldn't ask for better
From the very beginning I was treated like a friend, as well as a client. I've bought and sold properties a few times, and I only wish I'd known about Russell & Russell before. They came recommended, and I can very honestly see why. My conveyancer, Eileen Leadbetter, was amazing. Every interaction was insightful and timely, and I never felt like I didn't know what was happening. From start to finish, Eileen was courteous, kept me up to date with key information and timings and she was a pleasure to speak with on a personal level. I'd like to express my thanks to her and her colleagues including Karen Woods, Susan C. Johnson and Russell & Russell as a business.

Excellent as always
I’ve used Russell & Russell multiple times over the years and have recently used again for the legals on a property sale and purchase. They have always had great communication and are very efficient. I really value being able to pick up the phone and speak directly to my solicitor when required, having said this the whole team I deal with are second to none. I would highly recommend.

Support for purchase of property
Russell & Russell were recommended to us for the support of the purchase of a property in Chester. We needed a good level of support as we live overseas which we perceived to be an added complication.
We got great advise and support and super prompt service throughout the whole process and we were able to complete on the property within just five weeks.
Big thanks to Karen and Diane...great experience
