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.

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!!

Amazing!

Megan helped me with my divorce. She was friendly from the outset, understanding and informative. She coped brilliantly when things didn’t go to plan (our end!) and was reassuring throughout. A stressful time made easier - thank you, Megan.

Jen Law has represented my husband and me for the past six years through an extremely sensitive and traumatic case. Throughout that time, she gave her all and showed unwavering dedication, professionalism, and compassion. Jen always kept things honest and realistic, guiding us through every stage with integrity and genuine care. Her support meant more to us than words can express, and the fact that she was there with us at the very end meant the world. Thanks to Jen’s hard work, commitment, and expertise, we achieved the best outcome we could have hoped for. Because of her, my family can finally begin to rebuild our lives and look towards the future. Jen, you are a superstar. There simply aren’t enough words in the dictionary to express the gratitude we feel for everything you have done for us. We will never forget the difference you have made in our lives. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

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

I contacted Hayley to help myself and my children regarding a TALATA matter . The service she provided has been nothing short of amazing! Hayley was extremely professional but also compassionate and caring towards my family. I only wish we lived closer to the office so I could give her a huge hug! I appreciate her help so much and would recommend her to anyone.

A word of thanks to Jen Law, now partner at Slee Blackwell of Bideford (previously Barnstaple) for her management of my complicated divorce scenario during 2021/2. Her personality and professionalism ensured a successful resolution, whilst her understanding and compassion ensured re establishment of constructive dialogue between the parties involved. I would recommend her without hesitation

Jen and her team would like to send their thanks for your very kind review.

Sale of property

I have bought and sold properties through Slee Blackwell, in Barnstable, over the years and I have always found them to be really professional, efficient, helpful, and provide an excellent quality service. The feedback during the sale process is excellent and I always knew exactly the progress. Questions and queries were always handled immediately and I have no hesitation of recommending Slee Blackwell to any future client.

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!

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.
