Excellent Service

Wasn't a straight forward purchase, with a lot of issues arising and challenging pressures from buyers and sellers, but Helen was excellent throughout and would highly recommend. Her number has been saved and will definitely pass on to who ever needs a conveyancer.

I’ve had a great experience working with Gemma Williams at Slee Blackwell during the sale of my property and purchase of another. She was always on the ball, one step ahead, and clearly focused on being as efficient as possible throughout the process. Conveyancing can take time, and I appreciated that things need to be done properly, but Gemma made everything feel smooth and well-managed. I was always kept up to date straight away whenever I needed to complete something or if any further information was required. This is the second time I’ve used Slee Blackwell, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use the firm again in the future. A consistently reliable and professional service.

Naomi and Charlie have been extremely professional throughout and once again have provided an outstanding service. Having delt with the sector for over 40 years, the service provided by these two have been far superior to any before. They have dealt with several of sales of my properties over the years and each time have excelled. Thank you again an i look forward to working together in the near future.

Samantha Millington handled the purchase of our present home during the time when there was a great deal of activity due to the temporary cancellation of stamp duty creating a great deal of work for solicitors to beat the completion cut off date. There was also a holdup lower in the chain near our completion date but she finished the job in good time. She later provided proof of our ownership of the solar panels on the roof for the transfer of the Feed In Tariff contract. Two way communication was good throughout.

Absolute Life Saver - Highly Recommend

After a very unpleasant and disturbing breakdown in my relationship it looked like I was going to lose my home, a home that I had paid the whole deposit for and had paid the mortgage on my own for over 6 months. My ex partner would not sign the house over to me, even though there was no equity in it and he paid nothing toward the deposit, my mortgage deal was coming to an end, I was never going to be able to afford the new payments. Kirsty stepped in and literally saved the day, she contacted my ex and due to her professionalism and persistence he finally signed the papers. I can never thank her and her team enough, I can now enjoy my home with my baby girl without having to worry about losing it, I will be eternally grateful and cannot recommend Kirsty enough. If I could give 10 stars I would, I am so happy!!

Kirsty Jones at Slee Blackwell Solicitors (Barnstaple) for conveyancing.

Absolutely brilliant service – went above and beyond to save our chain! We wanted to leave this review to say a huge thank you to Kirsty Jones, her assistant Lauren,Sue and everyone at the firm for the incredible help and support they gave us during our recent house sale and purchase. From day one, Kirsty was professional, knowledgeable, and always quick to respond to any questions we had. Lauren and Sue were also fantastic – keeping us regularly updated and making sure nothing slipped through the net. We used Kirsty Jones and her team for both our house sale and the purchase of the property we moved into. Most notably, the week before the agreed date to exchange contracts, the buyers solicitor, also used Slee Blackwell but the Braunton branch ,went on holiday. This directly threatened our agreed exchange date and would have caused everything to stall, putting our whole chain at risk. However, true to form, Kirsty stepped straight in – sending a colleague to the Braunton branch to take over the workload and keep everything moving forward. In short: 0/10 for their solicitor, but a solid 10/10 for Kirsty! Add to this, Kirsty and her team completely made up for the slow, unhelpful involvement we had from our estate agent. The agent let things drag, didn’t communicate and brought nothing but problems and unresolved issues to us, while Kirsty was proactive, reliable, and determined to get the job done. We cannot recommend Kirsty Jones, Lauren and Sue highly enough. If you want conveyancing handled properly, with people who will go the extra mile when it matters most, look no further. Thank you again!

Clear, calm advice

Kristi helped me to navigate a quite unpleasant experience with a Will and its subsequent probate. She was clear and extremely knowledgeable, and able to see what my situation was very quickly. I was able to pursue a positive outcome as a direct result of contacting her.

Joke of a firm. Elizabeth Duncan is the worst solicitor ever, I got £8,000 from a lawsuit that was worth £30,000 I paid for a consultation for a solicitor who read my court case against the NHS and he said that Elizabeth only put forward a clam with regards to the injury’s sustained and nothing else.

We had a great experience with our solicitor, Naomi, throughout our first home purchase. As first-time buyers, we really appreciated the clear communication and guidance at each stage, which made the whole process feel far more manageable. We exchanged contracts last Tuesday and completed on Friday, 1st May, receiving our keys by mid day!. Everything was handled smoothly and efficiently, and we always felt well informed throughout. Thank you, Naomi, for all your hard work in helping us reach such an important milestone—we would highly recommend your services.
