Residential Home Sale & Purchase Wheathampstead

Looking to move to
our final home John Brian and Donna Beaumont at Sherrards were our obvious go to solicitors having helped in the past with children’s house purchases. Good choice - we had lots of buyer and seller interactions - we had 3 buyers who all ‘started the process’ and we lost one house on the way (lucky as our final home is better!)
Donna and John guided us all the way - how many solicitors will send info evenings and weekends and were happy to help throughout! Professional , Efficient ,ever Helpful and above all Considerate - can honestly say they never broke a promise and took on so
much of the stress a home move always generates
Thank You and if you are thinking of moving and need a solicitor then in our view they are ‘the very best’

Efficient, friendly and professional. Would recommend.

Aisling drafted mine and my partner’s wills. She gave helpful advice, raised issues we needed to consider and assisted us professionally throughout the process. She prepared the wills quickly and the whole process was efficient and made as simple as possible for us. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Aisling for this type of work.

house sale

I would just like to say thanks to Shen, Donna and Claire in their assistance with the sale of my late brother in law's house. They were very easy to deal with, professional and attentive at all times even though the procees was delayed by the estate going into probate.

Excellent will writing service

Aisling did a fantastic job of producing our wills. She’s very thorough, talked through different options with us and took time to explain the legal wording so that we could understand it. Aisling is very personable, helpful and knowledgeable and we would highly recommend her.

White Glove Service

I recently had the pleasure of working with Caroline Vernon for the sale of property and then purchase of our new one with Claire Levy. Their white glove service was truly exceptional. From the very beginning, both Caroline and Claire demonstrated a high level of professionalism and attention to detail. They guided me through every step of the process, ensuring that all my questions were answered promptly and thoroughly.

Caroline's expertise in handling the legal intricacies of selling the home was impressive. She made sure that all the paperwork was in order and that we were well-informed about each stage. Claire, on the other hand, was instrumental in securing the new property.

Together, Caroline and Claire made what could have been a stressful experience into a smooth and seamless transition. I am incredibly grateful for their hard work and the team behind the scenes would highly recommend their services to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

A shambles - go elsewhere if doing probate.

My mother had a Will - so a simple case. They changed our lawyer when the first one left without telling us. This led to a significant delay in the probate due the absence of the original lawyer for at least one month ( no explanation there at the time) . The handover was duplicated and we spent money on this due to their poor communication. We were told someone helping was a lawyer when they were not.they had no recollection of the paperwork file I had handed in and had to search for it. I complained to Nicole who was in charge who said she would get back to me but she she never bothered. When they did answer once they were very disrespectful and took no responsibility at all and didn’t say sorry.
The team doing the exchange on the house showed them up as they were efficient.

A representative from Sherrards Solicitors LLP responded to this review on 18 April, 2024:

Thank you Helen for your review, and we are sorry that your experience with the firm has not been a positive one. We acknowledge that the solicitor handling your matter left the firm’s employment part-way through, and while we have no control over this, we accept that this should have been communicated to you in advance, and that you should have been informed of the new fee earner. This has, as we said in our subsequent discussions with you, been fed back to the team and training will be put in place to ensure that when staff leave, there is a comprehensive handover and communication with clients to ensure that they are kept informed and their expectations managed with regard to ongoing handling of their matter and timescales. Where there was a slight delay, we accept that we should have managed this better by ensuring that you were made fully aware of the likely timescales, and by providing updates on steps being taken. We are at the mercy of third parties where we deal with matters such as yours, but this does not remove our obligation to keep you informed. In relation to the duplication of any costs, this had been reviewed and where there was any duplication, this was accounted for to you and a credit applied. This was an error, but we are satisfied that this was corrected at the material time. While Mrs Marmor was not the fee earner with conduct of your matter, she sought to address your concerns very promptly and apologised that you had needed to contact us on this. She also acknowledged the above points and apologised for these, agreeing to liaise with the fee earner for an early resolution. We appreciate that you did not hear further from her on her final email but this is because it was passed to the fee earner with conduct who then responded to you to conclude your matter. You have very fairly acknowledged that he was very responsive to you. Where we have acknowledged service issues, please note that this is not typical of our service to clients and we take your review, and concerns, very seriously and as subsequently discussed with you, we are taking proactive action to learn from this.

Claire was extremely attentive and provided detailed support. As a foreigner unfamiliar with UK rules, she was incredibly kind and explained many things to me. Since I was in a hurry to move, she worked tirelessly, even calling the seller’s solicitor to expedite the process towards the end. She was also meticulous in reviewing documents, which made her highly reliable. Without her, the process would have taken much longer. I can strongly recommend her.
