Sadia provided great service stepping in at short notice when a colleague left.

Sadia was very professional and guided the sale of my property to successful completion despite some last-minute delays on the buyer's side. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a solicitor for a property transaction.

Superb service for Conveyancing

I retained Stephens & Son for the purchase of my property following a divorce. Throughout the procedure I was kept abreast of every development and correspondence was dealt with in a timely and efficient manner. The solicitors Stephens & Son were dealing with for the sale of the property jointly owned by myself and my ex wife were in comparison awful. They required constant chasing, and even on the day of completion produced an incorrect completion certficate with erroneous figures. With divorce and house sale/purchase being so stressful I was thankful that the team were so professional and took a great deal of the angst out of the process.

Couldn't have asked for more

Rachel was amazing, I do not think that my house would have completed if it wasn't for her. We had a lot of issues in the chain, lots of hold ups and mistakes made too, she was so professional, constantly kept me up to date and made sure we stayed on track. I would definitely recommend Rachel, and whenever I move house again, I will be asking her to support me again. Thank you so much for making my moving house happen!

Excellent Service

After a breakdown of a previous house move, I contacted Hannah. She was very professional and helpful, talking me through each step of the process. She also noticed an issue ahead of time that undoubtedly saved alot of hassle. I would recommend Hannah to anyone looking to move home.

My communicattion with and o/b of Hardeep Gill have been of the utmost professional standard. Added to this is her helpfulness steering me through a maze, I have no experience of, probably like most. It have been an education, pleasure and privilege to-date woking with her at Bailey & Coggger. I can highly and easily remcommend her services. GM
