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."

Help with defending a claim against our father's will

My family employed Slee Blackwell Solicitors to help us at a sad and difficult time in our lives. From the start Anya was very helpful, professional and honest as to what the possible outcomes might be. Anya responded quickly to all correspondence in a knowledgeable and kind way and helped us to a successful outcome via mediation without having to go to court. I can highly recommend her.

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

Outstanding support during a very difficult property dispute

I cannot thank Anya Hoyland enough for all of her help and support throughout my case. This was an extremely stressful and emotional property dispute that had been ongoing for a long time, and Anya was professional, patient and supportive throughout. She always took the time to explain matters clearly, keep me informed of developments and provide reassurance when needed. What stood out most was that I never felt like just another client. Anya genuinely listened to my concerns, took the time to understand the issues involved, and was always willing to discuss matters whenever I needed guidance or clarification. During some very difficult periods, her calm and professional approach made a huge difference. The matter ultimately achieved a far better outcome than I had feared, and I am incredibly grateful for the work Anya put into helping me reach that position. Throughout the process she remained approachable, responsive and committed to achieving the best possible outcome for me, and I always felt that she genuinely cared about my case. I would not hesitate to recommend Anya to anyone seeking legal representation. Thank you, Anya, for all of your hard work, support and dedication throughout my case. It is very much appreciated.

Having recently used Slee Blackwell for my conveyance requirements, I wanted to convey my gratitude to all the conveyancing team. Louise Langabeer and her team kept me informed with every development. I was extremely impressed with their professionalism and efficiency and would not hesitate to recommend them.

House conveyancing made easier by a good solicitor.

I have employed Slee Blackwell to represent me on five occasions (three home purchases, two sales). Their application to the task has always been consistently excellent. Their conveyancing team have provided clear advice and have always given immediate answers to my queries. Indeed, in what was sometimes a rather traumatic transaction experience, they took great personal care of their client. In the less than smooth world of property conveyancing, they have proved to be highly responsive to issues and most efficient. I fully recommend them.

We honestly couldn't have asked for a better conveyancer than Kirsty Jones and her team. From start to finish, Kirsty was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and efficient, making what can often be a stressful process feel straightforward and well-managed. She helped my wife and me purchase our forever home, and we always felt we were in safe hands. Communication was excellent throughout, she was quick to respond to any questions, proactive in keeping everything moving, and her expertise gave us complete confidence every step of the way. I genuinely can't recommend Kirsty and her team highly enough. If you're buying or selling a property and want someone who is responsive, knowledgeable, and keeps things moving, she's the person to use. Thank you!
