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.

We were first time buyers and felt very out of our depth, Kirsty and her team were fantastic from start to finish. Our vendor made the process very difficult but Kirsty did everything she could and pushed to get us completed on our deadline. I couldn't recommend them enough!

Excellent professional service

On moving to Devon from Hampshire we decided to find a local solicitor and Helen Hine was recommended to us. I have 30+ years experience in the residential and commercial property market so have had a lot of dealings with solicitors on a daily basis and gave recommendations to Legal 500 for many years. Helen is definitely one of the best solicitors I have dealt with.She has given good advice all the way through despite some issues we had with the other side and is extremely personable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend both Helen and Slee Blackwell to anybody.

While our purchase was relatively straightforward, I wanted to highlight just how excellent Joanna Smith was. She was always happy to help and nothing too much trouble. Her support and professionalism made the whole process smooth and mostly stress free. Certainly will be using you again.

Thorough, prompt, responsive and very good value for money

Why would anyone choose a remote conveyancing factory for a property transaction when they could instead rely on a local solicitor who answers the phone to represent their interests? I found Helen Hine of Slee Blackwell to be thorough, prompt and responsive at every stage of my recent house purchase, combining real-world expertise with tenacity and humour to provide a first-class service for a fixed fee which represented very good value for money.

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!

Exceptional Support and Dedication in Securing Justice for My Mum

I cannot thank Sleeblackwell Solicitors, and in particular James McNally and his team, enough for the exceptional support, dedication and professionalism they have shown to my mum and our family over the past six years. In 2020, my mum was attacked by a resident’s dog and suffered devastating injuries. The attack occurred as a result of the owner’s negligence in failing to properly secure the dog on his premises. Sadly, after two other law firms declined to take on the case, largely because the defendant claimed not to have pet or home insurance, we were left feeling that my mum might never receive justice. That was when I contacted Sleeblackwell Solicitors and spoke with James McNally. From our very first conversation, James listened attentively to everything I had to say. He was completely honest about how difficult the case would be, particularly given the defendant’s claimed lack of financial means to pay compensation, but despite the challenges, he was willing to take the case on and fight for my mum. What followed was six years of litigation, persistence and determination. Yesterday, we finally reached the outcome we had been hoping and fighting for, and my mum was awarded compensation for the injuries and suffering she endured. Throughout those six years, James and his entire team were nothing short of exceptional. I live in the UAE, James and his firm are based in the South of England, and my mum lives in the North of England, so managing the case involved countless emails, Zoom calls and long-distance telephone conversations. I was advocating for my mum throughout the entire process, and James and his team were incredibly supportive, patient and understanding every step of the way. They took the time to listen to every detail and every piece of information I provided, even over such a long and challenging period. We never felt that our case was simply another file on a desk. Their commitment, compassion and determination gave us the confidence to keep going, even when the process felt overwhelming. James, and everyone at Sleeblackwell Solicitors, played an enormous part in helping our family finally achieve justice for my mum. We will always be incredibly grateful for everything they have done. Thank you, from myself, my mum and our entire family. We wholeheartedly appreciate your dedication and everything you have done for us over the past six years.
