Awful experience

Has poor people skills, asked for help with my contract and was very reluctant to assist and advised that I go find help elsewhere via family members etc. this mortgage was a terribly and stressful experience and Emma did was mostly part of the problem, her attitude was awful, considering how much money solicitors get I would have expected better. and not very helpful with the contract signing; she expected me to produce a printer from know where and print out piles of paperwork for me to sign. I’ve asked others who have had solicitors from other companies and they got their contracts etc hard copied through the post and marked so to know where to sign. I had a separate colleague who managed to arrange to get the contracts etc sent to me in the end as I had printed off the documents incorrectly. Makes mistakes in how much I should pay too!! She’s useless! Stressful experience all in all. Will not advise the use of Atwells and will never use them again!!

Attwells returning customer

Yet again I have received an excellent service from Attwells. Matthew Desborough carried out the work for me this time and made a rather complicated transaction very simple with his vast knowledge and expertise. His efficiency and excellent customer service is first class and I recommend him highly!

Excellent, friendly, knowledgeable service

I have used Attwells Solicitors for my conveyancing transaction. They explained each stage of the process and kept in regular contact throughout. Any issues that arose they managed to swiftly deal with by contacting other solicitors in the chain. I highly recommend Attwells for their prompt, friendly and professional service.

I have engaged Attwells twice for the sale of properties. On both occasions they were professional, efficient and available by both telephone and email. I would use them again and would recommend them.

My property purchase was not a straight forward case but Lily really did really well in getting the job done in the end especially with tight timelines being shared at the last minute and having to inherit my case from someone else.

We were really happy with the conveyancing service we received. Our main solicitor was Lily, and she was amazing throughout the whole process. She replied to emails really quickly, explained everything clearly, and kept us regularly updated on what was happening. We also dealt with Fariha for some parts of the process, and she was very helpful too. Overall, we had a very positive experience and would definitely recommend them.

Calm and technically very good.

They handled our purchase calmly and efficiently despite a difficult seller solicitor who frankly was rude if not abusive at times.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that our team handled your purchase calmly and efficiently, particularly in what sounds like a challenging situation.

Quick, reassuring, and completely stress-free

I can't recommend Samuel Welham highly enough. I came to him with a time-sensitive settlement agreement and a very tight deadline, and he understood the seriousness and urgency of my situation straight away. He sorted everything within a day, replied to my emails almost immediately, and explained everything clearly throughout. On top of being so responsive and efficient, he was genuinely kind and reassuring, which made a stressful situation far easier to handle. Thank you, Sam!

Thank you for your feedback, Zhi. We’re happy to hear that Samuel provided such prompt, clear, and reassuring support, especially within a tight deadline. We appreciate your kind comments and recommendation.

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.

I had a great convenyancing experience with Attwells Solicitors. Harpreet Kaila was brilliant dealing with a particularly difficult selling party. She made sure I understood what was happening at each point and that I was clear on any implications. Really appreciated her patience and dilligence - this was a long process! Thank you so much again, Harpreet!

We had lived in our house for 43 years and we had no experience of estate agents or conveyance solicitors. Our Estate agents recommended Charlotte from Attwells Solicitors in Colchester. I preferred email communication so I had a record of conversations. Charlotte really looked after us and there was never a ‘ stupid question’ as far as Charlotte was concerned. There were a few tricky legal parts of our sale and purchase which Charlotte guided us through with her expertise. If I emailed Charlotte about anything, she replied really quickly which is so important in a house sale. I cannot fault her and is a credit to Attwells. I shall miss our daily emails in our journey and I’m happy to say we have now moved into our new home and we are very happy. So if you are considering moving, ask for Charlotte from Attwells. You can’t go wrong!

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear that Charlotte was able to guide you through the trickier parts of your sale and purchase, answer all your questions and keep everything moving with her quick communication. We’re so pleased you’re now settled into your new home and wish you all the very best!
