Miracles do happen!

After dealing with our previous solicitor sitting on our house purchase file for 6 months we had nearly lost all hope... our mortgage offer was expiring, the sellers were about to pull out of selling their house and every solicitor we called couldn't help us...that was until we called Liz Dack from Whitehead Monckton.
Liz has been invaluable and a -send, without Liz and her vast experience and knowledge our house purchase would not have happened.
Liz was approachable, helpful, empathetic and kind and did the impossible. Liz went above and beyond, kept us updated every step of the way, explained what we didn't understand and now, we have just exchanged contracts (within two weeks of taking over our file!!) and completion is in a couple days! We are over the moon and cannot thank Liz and her team enough. Thank you so much Liz, miracles really do happen!

We have been putting off making our Will due to the whole process being very morbid, we found your service to be very helpful and Ella talked us through the whole process and explained everything very clearly.

Calm and professional service

A big thank you to Liz and her team for handling our sale with a calm and steady approach. Always prompt to respond to requests and calm even when the buyers solicitors were slow to respond.

We have recently renewed our mirror wills with Cliona at Whitehead Monckton. Cliona was great to deal with; knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. She was able to give us clear guidance regarding a difficult detail of a family will situation which was a huge help. The whole team were good to deal with, it was all wrapped up quickly and with plenty of care and attention to detail.

Complexity made simple

From day one Chantal and her team at WM were helpful and accommodating.
When the process allowed they were on the ball and very ably dealt with the sale of my property.
On the whole a really great conveyancing experience.

We highly recommend using Sadie if you are looking for a conveyancing solicitor. We have used Sadie on a couple of previous occasions too and each time we have found her to be excellent. Very helpful, polite and professional. Communication is brilliant and work is completed when she says it will be. This is very different to some solicitors we have used in the past. It makes the whole process much less stressful!
Highly recommended.

Whitehead and Monckton were excellent when we were purchasing our home. They communicated excellently with all parties involved and were there to answer any of our questions. It was clear they were doing a thorough job which is exactly what you need when you are buying a house. I would definitely recommend.

I made a phone call to arrange for legal advice and an appointment. I was told someone would call me back. Over a week later - making more phone calls to chase my initial enquiry and still no one bothered to phone back. What diabolical customer service and a total waste of my time. My situation unnecessarily prolonged by an unprofessional Company! Zero stars from me!

Just usual greed without empathy all they care about is money. Soulless but pretending to care. All solicitors are similar but some are worse than others
