James

Outstanding communication and a genuinely stress-free experience

Sophie was outstanding from start to finish. Buying a house is rarely straightforward, but Sophie’s clear communication, persistence and calm, proactive approach made a potentially stressful process feel well managed and under control throughout. She kept us fully informed at every stage, explained matters clearly, and was always quick to respond. What really stood out was her attention to detail and professionalism - nothing ever felt rushed or overlooked, and we always felt in safe hands. My wife and I would recommend Sophie without hesitation and wouldn’t think twice about using her again in the future.

Purchase and Sale of Business premises

I have used Cheryl Baxter at Kitson Boyce for both the purchase and sale of my business premises. On both occasions it has been a pleasure dealing with Cheryl who made the process very easy and straightforward to understand. The service received from Cheryl was outstanding, she always answered and returned telephone calls and responded to emails which was very reassuring when dealing with what was at times a frustrating transaction. I would not hesitate to use Kitson Boyce again and happy to recommend Cheryl Baxter.

In recent years we have had to deal with taking action against our accountants (now changed) for bad advice and administration, and more recently, we have been involved in the potential sale of the business. Despite difficulties with potential purchasers, Corri Pedrick and her team have provided first class advice and back up. Everything has been dealt with promptly and efficiently at all times and in every aspect. I would not hesitate to recommend Kitson Boyce to others

For several years I was preparing for retirement and the sale of my business. I had very specific requirements regarding the type of buyer I wanted to sell to, in particular regarding the treatment of my clients and my staff. Corri Pedrick and her team at Kitson Boyce LLP acted with complete professionalism providing me with invaluable and essential advice and back up during the negotiations from inception to completion and execution of the Share Purchase Agreement. It was not a straight forward transaction, with regulatory issues involved as well as the usual legal due diligence issues. Everything was dealt with speedily where necessary, and the advice given helped to protect us as the sellers. Where external advice was appropriate, from accountants experienced in such transactions for example, Corri had the necessary contacts when we needed a third party viewpoint. I cannot recommend Corri and her team highly enough for a combination of professionalism and dealing with you as a person as well as a client. I have used Kitson Boyce on other matters and can say that the same professionalism is reflected in the other teams

Kitson Boyce LLP

Dear Peter, Thank you for your detailed and thoughtful feedback. We're delighted Corri and the team provided professional, thorough, and personalized support throughout your business sale. Your high recommendation means a great deal to us. Best regards, Kitson Boyce

I have been a client of Kitson's , now Kitson Boyce, for many years. However, at the beginning of 2023 I engaged the Business Team, headed by Corri Pedrick and Jayme Nicholson to assist in the sale of my business. This soon grew into asking for their support and advice on a massive issue regarding a negligence issue and breach of contract. Both the business sale and conduct issues were intrinsically connected and very complicated. The whole team could not have done more. At every step and turn I was kept informed and advised and supported. Every member of the team, from the reception staff, the secretaries and the trainee solicitors showed empathy towards me. Nothing was too much trouble, I was kept informed either by telephone/email/ Teams and face to face meetings. The sale of my business was successfully concluded thanks to Corri’s and Jayme's professional and highly skilled negotiations in obtaining the best possible outcome for me. I would have no hesitation in recommending this firm to anyone who needs support at the highest level.

Kitson Boyce LLP

Dear Susie, Thank you for your heartfelt review. We're delighted to hear that Corri, Jayme, and the entire team at Kitson Boyce provided the support and expertise you needed. Your recommendation means a lot to us. Best regards, Kitson Boyce LLP

I want to express my sincere gratitude to Corri Pedrick and her team for their invaluable guidance throughout our journey. As a family firm, emotions often influence our decisions, but I must commend Corri and her team for upholding exceptional professionalism and seamlessly guiding us through the entire process. Collaborating with a team of solicitors isn't always a pleasant experience, but working with Corri was truly enjoyable. Her team handled the transactions with prompt action and ensured the process was conducted with the utmost professionalism. We highly recommend Corri Pedrick and her team for their dedication and expertise. Thank you for everything!

Had a very bad experience with this firm. They took on something they were not experts in and charged us a hefty bill for their own personal training and for adding this to their repertoire. Had no clue on how to get moving and would send us the bill for all their research and training time. Eventually they waived off the last bit of payment only because we challenged it with facts. Wouldn’t recommend them for business purchases at all.

Sale of Estate

We were appointed as Executors of my Mother/Mother in Laws Estate and Isobel Armstrong was appointed as our lawyer handling the sale of her estate. To say Isobel was a pleasure to work with, would be an understatement. Isobel was professional, quick and efficient handling what was slightly complicated sale with it being a Leasehold flat with a separate garage with aplomb. We were kept informed of progress of the sale at all stages and would highly recommend both Isobel and the company Kitson Boyce LLP without hesitation.

Isobel has been excellent throughout the process of selling my father’s house. She is knowledgeable, friendly, approachable and professional. She was always available to speak to directly and answered emails very promptly - being able to speak to a named professional throughout the process made the whole thing seamless. Isobel is a real credit to Kitson Boyce.

I cannot recommend Isobel highly enough. From my very first contact, I was met with professionalism, clarity, and genuine care. Isobel's communication was second to none. I never had to chase, she was always ready to provide an update. Nothing was too much trouble, and the service felt both highly professional and refreshingly personal. Isobel managed to make a stressful house move, far less stressful!

I instructed Tony Hunt way back in 2019 to handle my divorce proceedings.(He was then working at Kitsons.) I didn't know then what an arduous and lengthy process this would turn out to be, but luckily I had the right man for the job. Tony is friendly, personable, professional, direct and calm. Obviously, he is legally proficient, but much more than this, he handles whatever events and happenings occur in a composed as well as an involved way; ultimately professional but very available as well. I would not hesitate in recommending him for all your divorce issues, which can be such a trial, even in the most simplest cases, and especially if there are any contests, or tricky, sticky or otherwise, aspects. I can't thank him enough for his care and his attention.

Tried a few solicitors in Plymouth due to a few fall throughs and just went with whoever the estate agent suggested. Kitson Boyce were definitely the best of what we had. Lots of people say buying a house is held up by solicitors, I've only bought one so I don't know - but if it is true, not of Kitson Boyce! Very helpful, polite and useful for dealing with the other parties, especially an 'enthusiastic' estate agent. Thanks very much to Sophie as well as Rhiannon.
