Prepared my will and powers of attorney

Jim McIntosh, a partner in the firm, assisted me in preparing my will and powers of attorney. He put me at ease and helped me through the process in a friendly but professional manner and ensured that my wishes were encapsulated in the will. The firm is a bit old style, but totally about delivering service to the client at a very reasonable fee. I thoroughly recommend their probate services.

Terrific Service

I recently arrived in the Uk and quickly found that I needed help negotiating the process to apply for residency.

Mat Harris and the team at Vine Orchards were brilliant! I received sensible timely, affordable and, most importantly, successful help with my residency application.

I thoroughly recommend approaching Vine Orchards if you need help with any residency problems.

Incredibly poor experience. We were perfectly qualified for our visa but due to a mistake in our application we were denied. £6,000 gone and VO did nothing about it, absolute disgrace.

Indifferent and expensive service

If you use Vine Orchards for a house purchase, insist on having it on a no completion/no fee basis. Our purchase fell through because of issues with the survey. They did little for us, not even a face-to-face meeting. But because hourly rates, including phone calls to secretaries, are so high, the final fee was almost 70% of the agreed upon total price.

I can't fault the support we received from Lisa Ubank at Vine Orchards. She acted with absolute integrity and professionalism throughout the whole process, and with patience, kindness and good humour. It's the first time ever we've felt a solicitor has been completely on our side, and has had our backs. We felt listened to, and respected. Lisa went over and above to help us meet a challenging deadline, calmly dealt with issues as they came up, and kept us informed at every step. Even after we completed, Lisa was helpful and reassuring when an issue cropped up unexpectedly. It was lovely to work with Lisa, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her expertise.

Extremely satisfied with the services provided from Vine Orchards. Lisa Ubank went above and beyond to help me purchase my first home. She kept me updated throughout the surprisingly quick process and was consistently prompt when returning any queries, and worked professionally and polite with myself and third parties.
I would have no hesitation to use Lisa at vine orchards again should I need to in the future.

About this branch

Description

Although the firm undertakes such commercial work as its Clients’ instruct, it is and has been throughout its history basically a Private Client firm. The bulk of its work has been the non contentious business of local individuals and businesses including property dealings of all natures and a substantial proportion of its work load is involved in Trusts and Probate and the administration of Estates. Since 1975 (or as we would say “recently”) the firm has undertaken litigation in the areas of criminal work during the period when Exmouth had its own Magistrates Court and the sort of work generated by a Private Client base such as matrimonial and family disputes, possession and boundary issues and disputed claims in relation to estates. Since 2011 the firm has had a section dealing with Visas and Immigration issues.
