Outstanding service

"We have recently sold our house and purchased a cottage, using 2 different solicitors. The difference between conveyancing experience is extreme. Slee Blackwell has been a dream to work with and made our purchase a stress free and exciting time."

Professional Negligence

When in despair !

Unfortunately, out of the blue I found myself in a desperate, and what I thought was looking to be a massive life changing situation financially for me. I approached Slee Blackwell as I had used them years before in the seamless purchase of a property, and their service was excellent. From the receptionist putting my call through to Paula (Emma's secretary) I received a preliminary call back from Emma within 20mins. After explaining the situation briefly, Emma kindly arranged a site visit to my offices within days to establish the true facts of the situation, and after 30minutes, I really couldn't believe the weight she took from my shoulders. I have to say , her professionalism, knowledge, understanding and kindness were outstanding, I would say beyond the call of duty, it was at that point I asked her to please handle proceedings! Throughout the case, this lady can bury the opposition with her retort of wording in correspondence ! I felt blessed and relieved she was on my side. I could write for 100 pages how literally she held my hand to an extraordinary outcome in my favour, that on day one, I couldn't see through the trees. Emma Slade is the most remarkable solicitor I have ever been on side with along with her fabulous secretary Paula. I hope an occasion never arises again, but little does she know , I have her on speed dial, just in case. As a local business owner, I would like to remain anonymous for obvious reasons, but hope Emma reads this and will know exactly who I am, and how eternally grateful I am for all her skills and professionalism.

Excellent Service

We engaged in this service after being given bad advice from another firm – the advice from Slee Blackwell was accurate, dealt with in a timely fashion and most importantly the advice was clear that we were able to navigate through the legal jargon. Would not hesitate to recommend or use again if needed

from Slee Blackwell Solicitors LLP

Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you received clear, accurate, and timely advice from the team and that everything was explained in a way that was easy to understand. We appreciate your recommendation and kind comments.

Exceptional service

Jen Law has represented my husband and me for the past six years through an extremely sensitive and traumatic case. Throughout that time, she gave her all and showed unwavering dedication, professionalism, and compassion. Jen always kept things honest and realistic, guiding us through every stage with integrity and genuine care. Her support meant more to us than words can express, and the fact that she was there with us at the very end meant the world. Thanks to Jen’s hard work, commitment, and expertise, we achieved the best outcome we could have hoped for. Because of her, my family can finally begin to rebuild our lives and look towards the future. Jen, you are a superstar. There simply aren’t enough words in the dictionary to express the gratitude we feel for everything you have done for us. We will never forget the difference you have made in our lives. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

We understand how much emotional strength it takes to navigate a sensitive and challenging journey like yours, and we are so glad that Jen could provide the honest, compassionate, and unwavering support you needed every step of the way. I will be sure to share your incredibly kind words with Jen, knowing she made such a difference means the world to her and the entire firm. We wish you and your husband nothing but peace and the absolute best moving forward.

I had an excellent experience working with Chris Holten and his secretary, Sharnie Jenkins. Chris was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to clearly explain every step of the process, which made a potentially stressful situation much easier to manage. His attention to detail and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome were evident throughout. Sharnie was equally impressive—friendly, organised, and always quick to respond to any questions or updates. Her efficiency and supportive approach helped everything run smoothly from start to finish. I would highly recommend Chris and Sharnie to anyone looking for reliable, professional, and genuinely caring legal support.

I can’t thank Caroline and the team at Slee Blackwell enough. They could have easily turned me away, but they didn’t, instead they worked ferociously for five years on my case, booking appointments for me in London gathering expert opinions, having face to face and online meetings with me, keeping me up to date, and also explaining things clearly whenever I didn’t understand (which was often!). Just an incredible team. However, beyond this, I felt like they genuinely cared, which meant a lot more to me, as a legal journey inevitably brings up a lot, and they’re a very empathetic team. Thank you to Caroline and the team at Slee, it’s been one hell of a journey, and I appreciate all your effort to get me through it. I’d recommend you any day of the week.

Excellent service, as soon as i instructed Slee Blackwell as my solicitors I felt I was in safe hands. It was such a relief for me at a difficult time. They sorted everything out with excellent knowledge and attention to detail. Communication was superb - reassuring yet professional, prompt and easy to understand. They gave balanced advice and I felt they acted in my interest at all times. They helped me get a satisfactory conclusion and I can now move on with my life. Thank you

From the initial contact, all the way through the process, James and his team were excellent. Thorough, knowledgeable, informative, personable and professional. The help and advice given made the slightly worrying and daunting experience run smoothly. As with many legal issues it wasn't a quick process but I was kept up to date at all times. I would highly recommend James.

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.

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.

We would recommend Slee Blackwell Solicitors, Tiverton to anyone needing a conveyancer to see them through both the selling and purchasing sides of moving house. Naomi was brilliant, keeping us informed all the time. Although much communication is done on-line these days, whenever we popped in to the office to drop something off or to ask a question she was always willing to spare us a few minutes if she was not in a meeting. We really appreciated this personal touch.
