Excellent Service Throughout a Complex Purchase

We recently completed the purchase of a property through Leathes Prior and were extremely impressed with the service we received from Leanne Riches. This was not a straightforward transaction, involving a repossession sale and several unexpected delays outside of her control. Throughout the process, Leanne was professional, proactive, responsive and always willing to explain matters clearly. She kept us updated at every stage and worked hard to move the transaction forward despite numerous challenges. Her advice gave us confidence throughout the purchase, and we always felt that our interests were being looked after. Thanks to her persistence and dedication, the transaction completed successfully and we are very grateful for all her hard work. We would not hesitate to recommend Leanne and Leathes Prior to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and reliable solicitor. We look forward to working with them again on future property purchases.

Hello Sul Thank you for this lovely review for Leanne. We are so pleased she was able to assist you during the purchase of your new home. Best wishes LP

Well done Leathes Prior!

Very professional and honest communications throughout. Quality at a reasonable price. Leanne R was my acting solicitor and did a very professional and thorough job! Certainly made the Seller's solicitor lacking in most professional aspects!

Hello Thank you for this kind review, we are so pleased Leanne was able to assist you. Best wishes LP

I really recommend using these. Rachael's knowledge, expertise, speed and professionalism was second to none. Angela Chalmers was also a delight, amazing communication, nothing was too much trouble. We look forward to using these amazing people to act for us again in the not too distant future. Many thanks

Very pleased with the service in selling our property. Managing the sale from overseas could have been really stressful, but it was handled smoothly and professionally. Special thanks to Madison King, who made the transaction seamless. She gave clear advice and steady support, always acting with integrity and honesty and keeping our best interests at heart.

We were so pleased that we chose Leathes Prior when we moved house. Rachael was very thorough and kept us up to date with every step of the move, replying swiftly to our emails. If Rachael wasn’t able to respond, Angela, Rachael’s assistant would keep us up to date. When things got frustrating towards the end of the process, Rachael’s persistence got things moving. Thank you Rachael and Angela for your support through the whole process.
