Thank you so much for this wonderful review! Commercial property transactions can be complex and fast-moving, so it is fantastic to hear that Ash was such a helpful, reliable, and supportive partner for you throughout the entire process. Thank you for choosing us to handle your commercial property matter, and we wish your business continued success moving forward!

I’ve been a client of Nelsons for some time now, and Ash has consistently delivered first-class service. He genuinely cares about his clients, works efficiently, and keeps you updated without ever needing to constantly chase. It’s been a real pleasure working with him, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him for any conveyancing needs. Thank you Ash.

Thank you for your review. We’re pleased to hear Ash has consistently provided first-class service, with clear communication, efficiency, and ongoing support throughout your conveyancing matters.

Ash was helpful, proactive and dedicated during our conveyancing and then again during our refinancing process on a limited company BTL purchase. His great attention to detail made a complicated duo of transactions smoother than it would have otherwise been. I will be working with Ash again and recommend him to others unreservedly.

Heartfelt thanks to Jane Burton who has done a wonderful job sorting out the Land Registry application for my mother's property. At a time of high stress, lots of emotions and high financial costs with mum moving into Residential Care, not only did Jane act in super quick time she also communicated really well (picking the phone - seemingly a forgottten skill in many organisations today!) and worked with a great deal of empathy. Jane is a credit to Nelsons and I hope is also thought of highly within the organisation.

Dear Ian, Thank you for your review. We’re delighted to hear that Jane’s efficiency, clear communication, and empathy provided such valuable support during a particularly stressful and emotional time. It’s wonderful to know her approach made a positive difference for you and your family. Your kind words are greatly appreciated by Jane and everyone at Nelsons.

Used Nelsons for the sale / purchase of our recent house move. Rachel Bushell handled the process in a professional and efficient manner, she was always available or got back to us quickly when we encountered any issues. Happy to recommend Nelsons and would certainly use again.

I felt compelled to write a review after Trevor Scott supported both the sale of our (now former) property, and purchase of our dream home. When we first spoke, Trevor made it clear that he would offer a service far beyond that of your standard conveyancing firm, and he wasn't wrong. We had a complex, lengthy chain and a tricky purchase to navigate. We also had a few last minute curve balls, which Trevor handled superbly and resolved quickly, attempting to minimise the stress of my wife and I. Despite this, we engaged Trevor and completed early March (which allowing two weeks where noting happened for Christmas is bloody good going!). Yes we paid a bit more money to secure Trevor's services, but I can honestly say that something in the chain would've gone wrong and our sale/purchase fallen through had it not have been for Trevor. I'd like to also thank him for dealing with my (many) meltdowns when things went wrong, and exchange dates pushed slightly to the right... Top man, Trevor - thanks again.

Dear Ben, Thank you very much for taking the time to write this review on the service and advice that you have received. Many thanks, Nelsons
Very poor experience at the start with the first solicitor assigned to our file, to the point we were looking to go elsewhere, we received little to no communication, poor response times if any at all.. We were then contacted by Sanche Tutter from the conveyance team (thankfully the first solicitor had gone on annual leave and Sanche had been passed our file) from there onwards the service was absolutely faultless, great communication throughout, always kept in contact & kept us up to date with every little detail even whilst Sanche was ill he was contacting us from home and keeping us informed with what was happening with our property purchase, We had some dealings with other members of staff in-between and unfortunately the experience was as poor as the first solicitor assigned but for Sanche’s service alone we will be leaving a 5 star review.

Throughout the whole process of selling my house, Nelsons have provided an excellent professional service. In particular, I would like to thank Ash Simpson. From start to finish he has been friendly, helpful and supportive as well as thoroughly competent and reliable. I have no hesitation in highly recommending them.

Shrdha delivered a highly professional and approachable service, representing our family in a medical negligence case following the passing of our mother. Initiating such a case would have been extremely challenging, but Shrdha demonstrated genuine sensitivity to our circumstances and our family’s emotions throughout. Her expert advice was both timely and invaluable, and she provided clear, comprehensive information at every stage, particularly regarding our available options. The guidance offered was truly exceptional and communicated in a manner that was accessible for the whole family. We were able to raise questions and seek clarification at any point, and responses were always prompt and thoughtful. Throughout the entire process, it was evident that Shrdha’s approach was motivated by authentic concern for what our family had endured, as well as a commitment to ensuring we received both acknowledgment for what had occurred and a very positive outcome.

I have been using Nelsons for financial and investment advice for many years and have always been very pleased with their service. Most recently Nathan Richardson has helped me and my husband through the myriad of options open to us on our retirement and to broaden our thinking and approach as to which funds to use for income and which for investments. We were very happy with the suggestions which were tailored to our risk profile and are already paying dividends (if you pardon the pun)! Would recommend.
