    Bungalow Sale - Hoddesdon

    We recently completed the sale of my late-father's bungalow in Hoddesdon with the help of Vicky @ Whiskers, and her great team. The process was smooth and painless, most of which took place in the back ground, without the need for constant questions. I would thoroughly recommend using Whiskers if your looking to sell your property. Great service and support and the cost did not leave a massive dent in our pockets. Thank you to Vicky and her team @ Whiskers.

    Pretty poor. We didn’t instruct but they did deal with our onwards purchase and Helen was basically never really there. What should have taken just a couple of months to complete ended up taking 7 months. Would never use them for conveyancing

      Terribly Poor Service on many levels

      Their communication is extremely poor. They caused avoidable and unnecessary delays. They had redo work, because of what seems to be a lack of understanding and expertise. And at times, they were arrogant and bordering on rude. Not what you expect when you engage expensive so-called legal professionals.

      Andrew represented me in court. I was looking at time away almost 100% guaranteed. I packed a bag expecting the worst. Andrew worked hard to put a compelling case in my defense and was able to walk out the front door of court. He was very professional and his advice and his services was worth every penny paid. Could not speak highly enough of whiskers have dealt with a lot of solicitors over the years, whiskers has been far the best most professional solicitors I have ever had to use and would recommend them to anyone in need of a criminal solicitor

      Whiskers LLP

      Thank you for your excellent five-star review, Jack! We are very pleased that Andrew represented you with such success in court.

      I have been using Shalini Subherwal as my solicitor for family matters for over 10 years. Firstly, for an incredibly difficult divorce and most recently for another matter that needed clearing up. During this time she has always been the voice of reason and provided sound legal advice. I can't recommend Shalini or Whiskers highly enough.

      Thank you Chris for your positive review and for using Whiskers LLP.
