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."

Fantastic Service - Thank You!

We had an excellent experience working with Emma Slade on a professional negligence case. Clear at every step, proactive, pragmatic, and fair on fees. We achieved the outcome we had hoped for and would not hesitate to recommend Emma and her team.

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.

Claim settlement

Emma Slade is a wonderful,professional,understanding,knowledgeable solicitor with a very human side to her work. I would thoroughly recommend her and following a successful outcome after a long and arduous claim she did not falter once. We were able to put our complete trust in her and whilst I hope I will not need future help in such matters should we ever need to I would without doubt ask for Emma to act on our behalf. I really cannot impress enough how comfortable we were to be led by Emma throughout the whole prolonged case.

I've been put in a situation by a surveyor on my first property purchase and came across the business and called their helpline. I can't tell you how much of a help they've been, particularly Sian. I explained the situation to them and they gave me advice, with an option to spend some money. After hearing my situation fully I got the impression they weren't out to just generate money, but actually help me and she advised she can do some paid work for me, or give me some advice and do myself, with scope to return if I needed if it gets to that point. She very kindly has helped me and if things go to the next stage I have no problems in going to her for some support and paid services but she went out of her way to help me as best she could without being a paying client which fills me with confidence that they would have my best interests at heart should i require at a later stage. Thank you so much guys, really appreciate your support in a world that is out to get everyone! Thank you Sian, I hope the rest of your team have same approach as you do.

Myself and my wife were uncertain if we would be able to take legal action against a third party following a highly stressful disruption to our lives as a result of massive damage caused to our property by said third party We contacted Blackwell Solicitors after having done some research online and within 24 hours we received a full and detailed response to our inquiry from Emma which was honest, informative and extremely useful. She also suggested a possible way forward which was very helpful. Assuming the service and advice we received from Emma (which was F.O.C by the way) is typical of the firm as a whole (and I have no reason to think it is not) I would certainly recommend Blackwell solicitors

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!
