Always supportive, extremely professional and knowledgeable and I got to speak to a real person on each occasion I needed to call. I would thoroughly recommend Scott Richards Solicitors and would most definitely use this firm again.

From start to finish the communication and service was excellent and swift. Have recommended to several friends since and their experiences have been the same. Fees were reasonable and as quoted at the start. Thank you.

We made our wills, a job we had been postponing for some time! Joanna was very professional but also highly approachable and very easy to communicate with both face to face and by email and telephone. Highly recommended

We’re very grateful for your feedback, Carole. It was a pleasure to support you with your father’s estate and help give you confidence with the inheritance tax process.

They answered the phone promptly. Calls were returned when promised. They did a task in a highly professional manner within a restricted timeframe. The cost was reasonable & competitive. Staff were friendly & easy to deal with. They totally justified my decision to go with a local practice rather than a "Major". What more could you ask ?

Thank you very much for the informative feedback, Sean. We are please that you had a good experience with our team and are grateful to you for the instructions. We shall pass on your kind feedback to Joanne, too. SR
We have used Scott Richards Solicitors twice now, firstly to advise us and to draw up our mirror wills, and secondly to arrange for the transfer of my mother's will when she moved to Dawlish. My mother has recently passed away, and I received her will and was advised on how to proceed. On both occasions, Joanne O has been the person we have dealt with and has always been professional, understanding, and compassionate. I would recommend Scott Richards to anyone. Thank you.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We’re really pleased to hear about your positive experiences with Scott Richards Solicitors and, in particular, with Joanne.
Sue McGregor, was assigned to assist us with probate , following the death of my brother. Whilst Sue remained professional at all times, she was always friendly and approachable. Sue was sensitive to my situation, and also to my sister in the law who was grieving the loss of her husband. Sue reponded promply to queries, we needed answered. The process of applying for probate was clearly set out for us, she helped us to negotiated legal terminlogy with clear explanation and without judgement. Despite the length of time it took to complete, any delays that took place were not because of her disinterest, she would explain she was just waiting for responses from another. It was a comfort to us both to work with such a kind and supportive person. Thank you Sue!
Thank you for your kind words about Sue McGregor, Kay. We’re so pleased to hear she was able to support you and your sister-in-law with professionalism and compassion during such a difficult time. Your feedback means a great deal, and we’ll be sure to pass it on to Sue. Take care.
We have used Scott Richards for 3 residential property conveyances during the last 7 years and were very happy with the highly professional service they provided on all of them. As is often the case with house moves, problems can arise that are beyond their control. This happened late in the day on two of them but in both cases, we were kept clearly informed and they were tenacious in chasing other parties for information and moving them along as fast as possible towards completion. They were also diligent in dealing with a number of legal issues that arose, challenging unreasonable items raised by other parties’ solicitors and efficiently putting in remedies as required. We were particularly grateful to Liz Rodgers in this respect on the most recent conveyance, but also to the rest of the conveyancing team who also played their part. The most important thing for me, and I’m sure anyone else, is good communication and they get this right. We have also used them for will writing and providing advice on inheritance and trusts which can get quite complex, and were very happy with the comprehensive information provided by Christine Shute which recently enabled us to set up our wills appropriately. We felt that their fees on all of this have been very reasonable, staying in line with estimates, despite some apparent additional work and would highly recommend them.
Hi Steve. We're delighted to hear that our conveyancing team, especially Liz Rodgers, provided the support and clarity you needed during what can often be a stressful process. Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review. We're grateful for your continued trust in Scott Richards over the years - it means a great deal to us!
Excellent service from Scott Richards on a time critical matter. Communication from Jamie, Claire and the team was second to none. I felt supported and was kept updated throughout and managed to achieve a positive outcome. I also engaged with Rachel earlier in the year, who helped me to write my will. Again, she was professional, knowledgeable and efficient from start to finish. I wouldn't hesitate to use again for any future requirements. Huge thanks #TeamSR
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're really glad that Jamie, Claire and the team kept you in the loop and feeling supported throughout. That's exactly what we aim for! Also brilliant to hear Rachel made the process of writing your Will smooth and straightforward earlier in the year. We really appreciate you taking the time to leave your kind words - a big thanks from us all at #TeamSR!

Having to exchange and complete on 4 properties in 2026 is not an easy thing to do. Sophie, Carol and Matt were absolutely amazing from start to finish. Their attention to detail is second to none and they certainly made this year as less stressful as possible for me. Incredible service, I cannot recommend highly enough.
