    Sale and purchase

    After saying for years that I would never move, I found myself in a situation where I had to move. I had lived in my house for nearly 40 years so it was a wrench. Chantal was very kind and guided me through everything that had to be done. She was very efficient, very prompt in all dealings with her, it was amazing to be able to get through to a real live person without having to press many buttons, a direct line to your solicitor is amazing. I would like to thank her, and all at Whitehead Monckton, for making what could have been a very traumatic experience much easier.

    Redundancy / Agreement advice

    I engaged Whitehead Monckton and Eloise to review my Settlement Agreement following redundancy notice. My experience was excellent in every respect. Whitehead Monckton were quick to arrange my initial meeting and Eloise had thoroughly reviewed every clause in the Agreement. She discussed all her comments and advice with me and communicated directly with the Legal department of my employer. Eloise handled the whole process very efficiently and kept me informed throughout. I had full confidence in Eloise’s knowledge and expertise. Thank you Whitehead Monckton!

    I would like to extend my enormous gratitude to Chantal for handling the sale of my house and for making the entire process easy and straightforward for me.  Chantal always responded extremely promptly to any query I had, and it was so reassuring to know she was in charge. Selling a house can be stressful, but Chantal was on top of the game at every turn. Highly recommended.

    Dominic Williams and the team at MWLaw’s Tenterden office helped with our move from Rye to Hertfordshire. Over the years we have relocated several times along with all the associated stress. Dominic’s calm, kind and professional handling of the conveyancing was excellent! In the event of any future move our first call will be to Dominic and the Tenterden team.

    Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to leave us a review. We're thrilled to hear that you had such a positive experience with us. Our team always aims to provide the best service, and its good to know that we met your expectations.

    We were very happy with the service provided by Kerin Speedie and her colleagues. We were informed of the process and timescales and given the opportunity to ask questions which were answered in a clear and concise way. If we did not understand anything Kerin provided clarification and ensured we understood before proceeding further.

      Fantastic Conveyancing Solicitor

      We couldn't ask for a better solicitor to help us purchase our first property. Chantal was proactive and engaged at every stage, making the process easy and stress free. The completion took place quickly and we received our keys right on schedule. WM have good financial crime controls - an intercepted deposit was on our worry list but we needn't have been concerned. I highly recommend WM and Chantal to anyone looking to purchase their residential property.
