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!

Friendly and super efficient

When I first met Sahdia in January we had a discussion about my case. I have to say she came across as extremely friendly, professional and knowledgeable. The advice she gave me was honest, sound and she continuously reassured me and provided me with confidence with a way forward for my situation. Whenever I needed to contact Sahdia she has always been quick to respond to either my calls or my emails. I cannot thank Sahdia enough for the amazing advice she has given me over these past few months. I would highly recommend Sahdia and she is a great asset to Whitehead Monckton.

Sahdia was attentive and asked all the right questions. She quickly grasped the pertinent facts of the case and gave great advice. Sahdia has also handled all communications promptly, which is always a plus in my opinion. Nothing worse than having to chase for updates, which I never needed to do with Sahdia. Overall, friendly and very professional. Would recommend!

Lasting Power of Attorney

Mrs Fuszard dealt with two issues, Lasting Power of Attorney and the transfer of my property into my name as it was still in the name of my late husband. I have no complaints at all, Mrs Fuszard was very pleasant, extremely helpful and I would have no hesitation in consulting her again in the future if the need should arise.

Dawn was very helpful when I first went to see her after my spilt with my husband. She was great with her advice and pointing me the right direction to how I should deal with our spilt and the next steps for our child. She was great at supporting and helping with my next steps each time my ex husband was difficult and how I could sort out care for my child.

House sale

Chantal was so professional during our experience and even went the extra mile when the buyer decided he wanted to exchange and complete with only five days notice.
We will definitely ask for her services when we purchase our next property.
Thank you so much for your help.

I was happy with the experience but I felt there needed to be more transparency as to where they were. I looked at the app but it wasn’t kept up to date with detail, only doc signature. Otherwise very smooth

Several issues with paperwork being incorrect which made a simple process extremely frustrating, I had to chase issues myself . The service you offered was not , I am sure, what your firm would have wanted,so much so that, unprompted,I was given a substantial refund of my costs.

Thank you for a fantastic service yesterday. It was refreshing for my calls to be handled so professionally by Zara on central switchboard and then by Diane who clearly cares about customers.

Laura Hails was an absolute diamond.

The job was a very tiny job, hardly worth your effort but it was appreciated very much.

Yesterday made an excellent first impression of a professional firm with motivated professional staff.

Thank you
Paul

My experience with Whitehead Monckton has been extremely positive. I have found the team to be highly knowledgeable and experienced. They have supported me through my case with care, compassion and understanding. The whole team including Graham, Lawrence, Neha, Emily and Bethany, have been consistently professional over the past couple of years that I have used the service. Their legal insight has always been on point and I have complete faith in the team, such that I would have no hesitation in recommending this firm to others.
