Professional and pleasant to deal with

We chose Slater Heelis on Cross Street, Sale, as they have a physical presence in the office. We found our lawyer Helen Taylor, her secretary Alison Sorton and Executive Lisa Watson to be very professional and efficient, yet friendly and pleasant to deal with. Conveyancing was smooth, orderly, well-managed and they took the stress out of things. Communication was timely and they honoured our preferred method which made matters easier to track. Thank you also to the ladies on reception. The cost of the service compared well to others and was reasonable. We would recommend and will definitely consider using their services again.

Daniel Stern was excellent for a service relating to a notice to terminate which we had contacted him for. We contacted him on short notice and requested this to be sorted fast, which once we had explained to Daniel the situation he was very helpful in. He provided the conclusion ahead of the required date, breaking our options down, and giving us competent advice. Would recommend highly to anyone else looking for help in this sort of matter. Thanks Daniel!

Dear Jason, Thank you for your review and recommendation. We are delighted to hear that Daniel provided prompt, clear, and effective support. It is pleasing to know that his advice and guidance helped you reach a timely and well-informed outcome.

Our conveyancing process ran through the Christmas period, yet everything was handled efficiently and professionally. Miriam and Daniel were excellent throughout, coordinating clearly with the estate agency and the seller’s solicitor. They were responsive whenever we had questions and kept us well informed at each stage. Thanks to their diligence and clear communication, the process progressed smoothly and we completed around 2 months since my offer is accepted. Highly recommend Miriam and Daniel and their conveyancing team.

Had nothing but positive experiences using slater heelis. Daniel Henderson has been amazing in helping us both buy and sell our property and has replied to each of our queries very quickly. Miriam has also been fantastic in sorting out all the final things to conclude our sale and has also been great at responding to messages really quickly.

Amazing firm, wouldn't hesitate to recommend

I genuinely cannot rate Slater Heelis highly enough and would highly recommend them based on my experience with them. I used Slater Heelis to help with divorce proceeding and the advice they gave and the service provided was second to none. The staff handling my case were caring, understanding, compassionate and extremely professional and approachable. During what was an extremely difficult and harrowing time for me and my children, this made an enormous difference and made what was a very upsetting time that little bit easier. They communicated everything well and always contacted me in person, and their knowledge about proceedings was extensive. I felt heard, supported and in safe hands at all times.
