Death of our parents and their property sale

Following the death previously of my Mum and more recently Dad, Slee Blackwell have been very helpful and extremely understanding helping us navigate our way through sorting probate etc. The advice given was invaluable and very much appreciated. We then used the conveyancing team to deal with the sale of Dad's bungalow and again, they have been brilliant with their help. Responding to queries to help us navigate our way through the minefield of legal questions asked of us by the buyers' solicitors. The sale has gone through relatively quick, with minimum hassle, at what has been a difficult and emotional time for our family.

from Slee Blackwell Solicitors LLP

Thank you for your kind feedback, and we’re very sorry for your loss. We’re pleased to hear that the team were able to support you with understanding and care during such a difficult time, and that you found their advice helpful while navigating probate and the property matters.

Resolved what seemed to be an impossible situation! Thank you!

I live in the United States when I learned that my mother had passed. The estate was in a really bad mess and things became very hostile and contentious with my only sibling. I consider myself very lucky that Slee Blackwell agreed to take my case. Considering that I reside across the pond communication was smooth and swift. It was a long road to travel but I could not have completed this chapter without the help from Anya and Slee Blackwell Solicitors LLP. I highly recommend this firm and Anya Hoyland should you ever need a lawyer to deal with a contentious inheritance.

Great service and guidance through a tricky completion

Slee Blackwell dealt with my conveyancing for both sale and purchase, we had some tricky hurdles to overcome but Slee Blackwell and in particular Joanna Smith guided us through the process with patience and professionalism through out.

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.

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.
