Professional Efficiency

Carla Lewis is a calm efficient solicitor, her advice and clear explanation of information meant that I never had reason to be concerned as her work is to a really high standard. Matters of property detail and conveyancing were all accurately reviewed. Her turn around upon receipt of questions and responses meant time was never wasted. I never had to chase for any update, she was very efficient. What an asset for the firm.

Successful Flat Purchase

Emily has been a pleasure to work with in the purchase of my sister's assisted living home. She has kept us informed all the way and put in extra hard work when the sellers stopped communication just ahead of the exchange of contract. Thankful it was just a blip in the proceedings. I would highly recommend Larcomes, they have dealt with all my legal needs.

Used Carla multiple times, professional, efficient and knowledgeable

We’ve used Carla multiple times across a 15 year period.
Always provides an excellent service and is available to speak with by telephone - something which shouldn’t be underestimated with a property purchase.

Compasionate and Helpful

I can honestly say that when my Father died in April 2023 and then subsequently my Mother in September 2023 within a space of 5 months. Rosie and her team helped me through a very challenging and traumatic process. Given the distance between Waterlooville and Leicester .Oliver who also I wish to mention also played a big part during the number of emails an conversations aswell. I cannot express enough how much Rosie and Oliver helped during this process.

First time buyer's experience

Rosie and her team have been a great support and provided an excellent service whilst purchasing our first home. As first time buyers, we felt quite unfamiliar with all of the processes but Rosie and her team ensured we were always kept informed and helped us to understand the stages by taking the time to explain and answer any questions we had. Overall the last few months felt quite smooth thanks to Larcomes help and we would recommend their services to anyone looking to purchase a property.

Efficient and prompt service with no hidden surprises

Many thanks Rosie for your expert and efficient help in completing the sale of one of our properties. Many thanks also to Oliver for his input. The transaction was slightly unusual but this did not present any problems and was dealt with quickly and to our entire satisfaction. The price quoted was fair and reasonable and did not change.

Excellent advice, service and fantastic to deal with - would recommend

Carla was amazing throughout, from the issue with our first purchaser pulling out, to us offering on 3 properties and withdrawing on 2 after survey results

A long process for us (literally a year) and Carla had the patience and tenacity to push the transaction through. Always available for solid advice and available as and when required.

Also, a big thank you to Faye who stepped in if Carla was away.

We would definitely recommend Carla!

This is the worst solicitor office in Portsmouth. If you want to get things done quickly and with less hassle then I strongly advise you to keep away from this office. They don’t even stand by your side. You constantly get asked unnecessarily questions which will drag everything and you can’t go anywhere with this firm.
