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.

Excellent service, as soon as i instructed Slee Blackwell as my solicitors I felt I was in safe hands. It was such a relief for me at a difficult time. They sorted everything out with excellent knowledge and attention to detail. Communication was superb - reassuring yet professional, prompt and easy to understand. They gave balanced advice and I felt they acted in my interest at all times. They helped me get a satisfactory conclusion and I can now move on with my life. Thank you

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.

Absolute Life Saver - Highly Recommend

After a very unpleasant and disturbing breakdown in my relationship it looked like I was going to lose my home, a home that I had paid the whole deposit for and had paid the mortgage on my own for over 6 months. My ex partner would not sign the house over to me, even though there was no equity in it and he paid nothing toward the deposit, my mortgage deal was coming to an end, I was never going to be able to afford the new payments. Kirsty stepped in and literally saved the day, she contacted my ex and due to her professionalism and persistence he finally signed the papers. I can never thank her and her team enough, I can now enjoy my home with my baby girl without having to worry about losing it, I will be eternally grateful and cannot recommend Kirsty enough. If I could give 10 stars I would, I am so happy!!

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!

from Slee Blackwell Solicitors LLP

Thank you for your positive review, Alan. We’re delighted to hear that Kirsty, Lauren, Sue and the team were able to support you so effectively and keep your transaction on track during a challenging time. Your recommendation means a great deal to us.

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.
