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."

Trusted Execution

I have instructed Brett several times over a 16 year timeframe, including the buying and selling of properties, divorce settlements and execution of a deed of trust. I simply wouldn’t go anywhere else. Brett is efficient, knowledgeable and always delivers with zero stress.

Emma Napper & Emily Bryce were amazing

Emily and Emma were extremely supportive and efficient through a very difficult and convoluted sale process. They were always super quick to respond to queries and always kept us up to date with progress. I cannot thank them enough for their attention to detail, support and efficiency throughout. I highly recommend them to anyone requiring a 5 star service.

Emma Napper has acted for me once before and is currently acting for me again on a house purchase and sale. As always she is very professional, approachable and friendly and constantly keeps us up to date with the progress of our sale. Emma's fees are reasonable and competitive. Highly recommended.

Exceptional Service

I asked Louise to review an auction pack initially for a property I was looking it, she did this very quickly and in depth for me, which was enormously helpful. When I went ahead with the property, and the auction house wanted completion within 2 weeks of exchange, she and her team pulled it out of the bag superbly, despite a few hurdles along the way, and the funds not arriving from the lender until the very last minute on completion day. But she got it done, and I collected the keys as planned. So impressed with the service I received. I am now looking for my next project, and will definitely be using Louise and the team

dog incident

I was knocked off my bike by a dog which was running loose on the road. Despite delaying tactics by the dog's owners Jasmine persevered which resulted in me receiving compensation for my injuries and the legal fees being paid by the defendants. A big thanks to jasmine and her team.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Owen! Being knocked off your bike by a loose dog is a scary experience in itself, but dealing with an uncooperative owner and delaying tactics makes a tough situation so much more frustrating. We are absolutely thrilled to hear that Jasmine’s perseverance paid off, ensuring your injuries were compensated and your legal fees were fully covered by the defendants.

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.

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.
