Housing & Property

Amazing and supportive!

I’ve just been through my first experience with not only buying a home, but actually talking to and being supported by a solicitor and Paricce was absolutely incredible! Explained everything thoroughly, contacted mainly by email because of my working hours and either way, email suits me better and answered any questions I had, especially with my first time buying. Made the process really really quick as well, would definitely recommend Paricce to anyone.

Paige Velloo of Josiah Hincks Solicitors handled the sale and conveyancing of a property professionally and competently. What initially started as a normal sale soon morphed into a more complicated transaction as there was a purported charge on the property. Paige was kept very busy sorting out the complications and keeping everyone informed. Eventually it was all sorted out and Paige was able to finish the conveyancing and the property was sold. At all times Paige was very approachable, kept us informed, was professional in all her dealings with a very complicated transaction. Eventually everything was sorted out and the property was sold all thanks to the amazing teamwork at Josiah Hincks Solicitors. Our thanks go to Paige for her fortitude and dogged determination to see the sale complete on time. There were others to thank as the house sale formed part of probate, an amazing team at Josiah Hincks Solicitors who were truly exceptional and worked together to get results.
