Exceptional Service from a Professional and Caring Solicitor

I honestly cannot thank Carol enough for everything she has done for us throughout our house purchase. Buying our home was a very important milestone for our family, but at times the process was stressful and complicated. Carol was there for us every step of the way. She is extremely professional, experienced, knowledgeable and, most importantly, very kind and understanding. Whenever we had questions or concerns, she always took the time to explain everything clearly and made us feel supported and reassured. Carol worked incredibly hard to help us overcome the difficulties along the way and played a very important part in helping us successfully complete the purchase of our home. We genuinely felt that she cared about achieving the best outcome for our family. We are extremely grateful for all her hard work, patience and dedication. Thank you so much, Carol, for helping us achieve such an important dream for our family. We would wholeheartedly recommend Carol to anyone looking for a solicitor who is not only highly professional and experienced, but also genuinely caring and supportive.

James and his team are friendly, efficient and professionally dealt with the sale of my property very quickly without any problems. I was always kept informed of the progress and any questions were swiftly answered. He was able to offer sound advice when needed which was very much appreciated. I have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending James for any matters relating to the sales and purchases of properties.

We used the services of Cooper Lingard in relation to the sale of our mother's property. We were fortunate enough to have Carol Lambert assigned to our case and could not have been happier in what could have been potentially difficult circumstances. Carol was extremely knowledgeable and approachable and kept us fully informed as the sale proceeded and was consistently available if we needed her help in reaching out to the other parties solicitors. She is a credit to the company. Thank you again Carol.

We have just moved home and I really cannot recommend Cooper Lingard enough for their services. My partner had a property to sell and used a different firm, his experience was truly shocking so I was worried I would have a similar experience but it could not have been any more different and everything just felt easy! As a naturally anxious character James Baker and Nicola Holland helped me through each step of the way and put my mind at ease. Their communication was exceptional and at no point did I struggle to get hold of anyone to help me with query. If we were to move home again I would not hesitate to reach out to James at Cooper Lingard.

A huge thank you to James Baker and Nicola Holland at Cooper Lingard. After our first purchase fell through, they supported us through a second property purchase and were incredibly helpful throughout. They worked hard to move things along as quickly as possible and kept us updated. We really appreciate all their help and would highly recommend them!

Incompetent

Misdrafted a relative's will resulting in loss of £200,000 to the estate and then lied about it and trying to reclaim the money from beneficiaries. Legal Ombudsman made unprecedented award against them and they still will not admit their basic error. Still advertising as experts in wills and probate. Charlatans.

I contacted Cooper Lingard to take on the sale of mums property following her move to a care home. We needed the sale to go through and the funds to start as soon as possible to cover the care home fees. My intial call was with Carol Lambert who took on "the case" and from that first phone call, Carol was wonderful. She kept us fully informed of the progress at every stage. She made things so much easier for myself and my brother. It was a pleasure to meet you Carol. Thankyou for everything. I would thoroughly recommend using Cooper Linguard.
