Daniel helped me through a very difficult year, in the process of selling my property and buying a new home. Throughout the whole process, Dan was excellent, always available, very professional, and coped with my stress throughout the whole process !!! I would not use anyone else, and would highly recommend him to anyone who needs some one that they can have full confidence in to 'get the job done' !! Thank you so much Dan, couldn't have done it without you !!

Getting us over the line in a chain of 7 properties

Zara and the team did an amazing job with both the house we were buying and the house we were selling. It was a large chain, with many different considerations, and throughout the process, we were given clear and timely feedback. This is the 2nd time we have used Zara, and would use her again.

Thank you ever so much for your incredibly kind review, we appreciate your feedback and are glad you had such great service from Zara and her team. We look forward to working with you in the future

Just Brilliant.

Mike and his team have acted for me on the purchase of two properties and the sale of one. His experience and advice is always brilliant. It's been massively reassuring knowing that I can get hold of Mike and/or his team easily and seek advice/understanding on particular issues relating to the purchase or the sale of a property. He's personable and proactive and is great at keeping his clients up to date on the status of a transaction. Mike and Slater Heelis do a proper job; no cut corners - worth every penny. Mike even went above and beyond the day before completion of our latest purchase by traveling to the house and making sure we had correct documentation for right of access in the agreement!

I used Mike Fox from the Slater Heelis Sale office for the conveyancing on the sale and purchase of my new property. Despite a few bumps along the way Mike navigated these challenges and provided good advice throughout. Mike and Claire were great throughout the process and I would certainly use Slater Heelis again.

Daniel did an excellent job with the purchase of our first home. He was a great advocate and well informed. He was able to give fast and reliable advice and was readily available to answer any concerns we had. He is the only solicitor that came recommended and he is the only person I would use for a house purchase going forward. Thank you Daniel.

My partner and I used Slater Heelis as our conveyancing firm on recommendation from our mortgage advisor and some friends and we were not disappointed. Our solicitor was Daniel Henderson and he was absolutely fantastic. As first time buyers we weren’t sure what to expect and probably had a few silly questions but Dan made us feel at ease and kept us in the loop the whole time. He always responded to our emails quickly and when he took annual leave during our sale process he made sure that both us and the person who was covering him knew what was going on. We had heard so many horror stories of solicitors but Dan and the team made everything feel so easy. They are slightly more expensive than other firms but I can promise that when you’re at a tricky point in the sale and you want someone on your side who is efficient and responsive you’ll be glad you paid that bit extra. We also dealt with Miriam and Zoe from the firm and they were excellent too! Top quality law firm and we can absolutely recommend them 100% and will definitely be using them again!

Used them to buy my first house. Our lawyer was useless. He forgot to bring important documents to meetings... lucky I was more organised 🙄
More recently I tried to get a quote for a basic service using their online chat tool. They wanted to take ALL my details in order to do this. Unnecessary. I didn't continue my query, and have now gone off them completely.

A representative from Slater Heelis responded to this review on 28 October, 2020:

Thank you for your feedback and I am sorry you are dissatisfied with our service. We are highly rated by our customers, so we take any negative feedback seriously. With regard to our live chat, we need to take contact information so that the relevant team can get in touch, as well as information about your situation to ensure you are directed to the right people. If this was about conveyancing, we would need to collect as much information on the property as possible to ensure that we can accurately quote for the work, in line with the price transparency rules of the Solicitors Regulation Authority. This can involve the type of house, where it is, the cost and deposit size. All information exchanged through our live chat service is confidential. In relation to your issue with the solicitor on your first house move, please send your full name and contact details to us at marketing@slaterheelis.co.uk and we can investigate the matter internally.
