First time buyers

As first time buyers my partner and I were quite apprehensive about the conveyancing process but Eve dealt with us in an extremely helpful and professional way that put our minds at ease. Eve made the first steps for us far easier than we had expected and was a joy to deal with - thanks Eve! We would certainly recommend to others.

Jamie and his team at Poole Alcock expertly guided me through what was an extremely stressful experience and achieved the result I needed with their excellent legal support and opinion, good humour, attention to detail and professionalism. At every stage they listened intently and sympathetically and advised me in my best interests. They made me feel at ease throughout. I couldn’t recommend them more.

I contacted Poole Alcock solicitors as I was in the middle of an employment dispute. I was extremely stressed and upset.
From the very first telephone call, Jamie Riseley and his team made me feel fully supported and reassured. They have dealt with my case in a caring yet totally efficient manner for which I'm extremely grateful. I would highly recommend them to all.
