Great Experience with house sale and purchase

We used Attwells for our house sale and purchase. Our solicitor was Charlotte, and it has been a great experience. Charlotte was proactive and always kept us updated. We also got really helpful reports at crucial points in the process. We never had to chase and it took some of the stress out of moving as we could trust that Charlotte had it all under control. Thank you!

from Attwells Solicitors LLP

Dear Paula. Thank you for your kind feedback. We’re delighted to hear that Charlotte provided a proactive and reliable service throughout your sale and purchase, and that her updates and reports helped make the process less stressful for you. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

Professional, Strategic and Human Throughout

I recently instructed Lloyd Clarke at Attwells in relation to a complex cross-border commercial dispute involving contractual issues, restrictive covenants and intellectual property matters. From the outset, Lloyd was pragmatic, commercially minded and refreshingly straightforward. What impressed me most was his ability to quickly grasp the practical and operational reality behind what was a very complicated situation, rather than simply looking at it in black and white. He was balanced in his advice, clear about both the strengths and weaknesses of the case, and extremely thorough in the work produced. The response prepared was robust, well considered and strategically very smart. Equally important on a personal level, for the first time during this process I genuinely felt that someone had my back and was properly guiding me through what had become a very stressful situation. I would not hesitate to recommend Lloyd and Attwells to anyone dealing with a difficult commercial or contractual dispute.

from Attwells Solicitors LLP

Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re delighted to hear that Lloyd provided clear, pragmatic and commercially minded advice, and was able to guide you effectively through what sounds like a complex and stressful dispute. It’s especially good to know you felt supported and confident in the approach taken throughout. We really appreciate your recommendation and will ensure your kind words are shared with Lloyd and the Attwells team.

Excellent service from beginning to end!

I couldn’t be happier with the service I received from my solicitor during the sale of my house. From start to finish, they were incredibly thorough, professional, and supportive throughout the entire process. Every detail was handled with great care, and they always took the time to explain things clearly and keep me updated at every stage. What could have been a stressful experience felt much smoother thanks to their efficiency, knowledge, and reassuring approach. They were always quick to respond to any questions and went above and beyond to make sure everything progressed as smoothly as possible. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, diligent, and genuinely helpful solicitor. Excellent service from beginning to end!

Thank you, Gwendoline, for your feedback. We’re happy to hear that you received such thorough, professional, and supportive service from the team throughout your house sale.

Superb Service

I cannot thank or praise you more highly. You have been so professional dealing with the sale of mum’s house and then her subsequent death and then the final sale. I have been quite an emotional client , dealing with my own husband’s death and then all the proceedings selling mum’s house, and then her death. You have been so caring towards me during this difficult time, showing support for me as well as being so professional with the sale. I cannot recommend you and your service more highly. Thank you for making the whole process so much easier for me. With very kindest regards

from Attwells Solicitors LLP

Thank you for your review. We are sorry for your loss, and we’re honoured to have been able to support you during such a difficult time. Your recommendation means a great deal to us, and we are pleased we could make the process a little easier for you.

We needed to get our Wills updated and LPA's put in place and Megan provided us with a first class service and was a pleasure to deal with. She is extremely knowledgeable and simplified the whole process. We would have no hesitation in recommending her, and we'll certainly be using Atwell's again.

Refreshing customer service

Our conveyance solicitor, Stuart Milbourne was very professional and polite even in the face of some disgraceful behaviour from other solicitors who should know how to behave. In a world where email is king, if you phoned him he answered. If he was busy, he called back very quickly. I would highly recommend both Stuart, Holly and the entire firm.

Exceptional Stuart

We used Atwells for our recent house move, and the service from the start was excellent. Holly the paralegal was very efficient with our paperwork and providing answers to our questions. We were assigned Stuart Milbourne as our solicitor and he was exceptional. He communicated promptly, he answered our questions and he helped chase other solicitors when it was starting to drag on!! He was clear in his communication and he responded promptly. We are very happy he was assigned to us and made the process as smooth as could be. We would recommend him to anyone who is moving house!!
