Fantastic service from all at Eccles Heddon handling the sale and purchase of my property. Clear information from the beginning, regular updates and a friendly and personal approach. Would highly recommend. We encountered several issues in the process but nothing was too much trouble.

As attorneys, we were charged with selling our Mother's home on her behalf, after her move to a care home. This was a difficult time for us, especially as we were selling our childhood home. With her calm, professional manner, Angela guided us through the whole process until completion, making an onerous task as easy as possible.

I was helped by Annabel Ashford to remake my will after the death of my wife. She was very helpful and efficient, and not only provided the new will but also sorted out the registration of my house. I should certainly recommend Annabel and Eccles Heddon.

I purchased some land a number of years ago through Nick White at Eccles Heddon in Ripon, and he was so efficient and approachable that when it came to sell the farm I had no hesitation in going back to the firm.
This time Annabel Ashford looked after the sale which was complicated by numerous obstacles that a large listed property raises. This was raised to the next level by the land agent proving his worth to the purchaser a prominent solicitor ensuring no stone had been left unturned prior to completion.
Throughout the sale Annabel was very approachable, and quick to respond to our queries and those of the prospective purchaser in a nice professional manner, sorted all the issues raised and did everything and more to finalize and complete the sale.
A few months later we sought to purchase a property and we had no hesitation in returning to Annabel at Eccles Heddon to take charge of the purchase. We anticipated that this would have been straight forward, but the previous occupant (deceased) and the builder left a number of unresolved legal issues. Through Annabel's ingenuity and knowledge the issues were resolved and we were able to proceed with the purchase.
Thus in conclusion I have nothing but exceptional praise for Annabel who provided a brilliant service to us, and is a credit to the profession in her outlook and dealings. I would thoroughly recommend Eccles Heddon and Annabel to anyone requiring a solicitor.

Having had a great experience last year on another property transaction, I had no hesitation in instructing Eccles Heddon in February 2023 for a new flat I was purchasing. As before, everything went through like clockwork. Great communication, prompt responses and clear, valuable knowledge and advice from Louisa Muggeridge ensured that I went from my offer being accepted by the seller, to completing on the property, in just 51 days - outstanding. I also want to acknowledge the wider team, with Jane Towers handling everything flawlessly whilst Louisa was on some well earned leave. Even the estate agents were amazed! I cannot recommend Eccles Heddon enough and would happily use them again.

Everything I asked to be done was done. Especially revoking a previous POA. Claire Green was exceptionally proficient, who dealt with everything via meeting on Teams, as I now live outside the area.
I chose Eccles Heddon to deal with my legal matters as they are efficient, competitive and transparent in their charges. I recommend them and if I ever need a solicitor in the future will contact them first and foremost.

We were very pleased to be very ably supported by Oliver Riley, Partner at Eccles Heddon in Thirsk, with a property purchase and two property sales in recent months. Oliver was outstanding. The sales were complex and the purchase had its moments! Oliver went over and above to ensure everything proceeded smoothly. We had a particular issue with our mortgage company's legal representatives and Oliver cut through it in no time, taking over the conveyancing for the mortgage company at our request and ensuring we were able to complete in time. He did this despite being incredibly busy and we can't thank him enough! Oliver Riley was professional, patient and gave us such a sense of confidence. We have used different solicitors and conveyancers over the years but from now on will always think of Oliver as 'our' solicitor and will use Eccles Heddon

Our legal expertise is applied in conjunction with a pragmatic realism acquired over many years of practice in the Vale of York and against a culture of long term commitment, not short term self-interested gain. Most of our practitioners have been with the firm for many years and, in our experience, many of our clients value continuity of individual service very highly. Whilst a large proportion of our clients live or work within the middle part of North Yorkshire we do advise and act for many people in other parts of Great Britain and indeed throughout the World. England and Wales comprise a single legal jurisdiction and we are qualified to act in domestic matters from anywhere between Berwick on Tweed to Penzance. We do not normally deal with foreign legal matters except in cases where the estate of a deceased person includes property overseas. Although we do not approve of the practice, our regulatory bodies now allow solicitors to give or receive so-called ‘referral fees’. These are payments to or from third parties in consideration of the referral of client business. Examples of this practice include solicitors paying estate agents in return for recommendation of people buying and selling houses or receiving benefits from financial advisers as a bonus for referring clients perceived as needing their advice. Until quite recently such practices were outlawed as likely to compromise the strict independence that was always regarded as the hallmark of a solicitor’s professional duty. Although the rules in this area have been relaxed, we still hold to the view that payment or receipt of referral fees is not in the public interest and therefore we do not participate in the practice. We prefer to retain and expand our client base on the foundation of client satisfaction and personal recommendation not the payment of ‘bungs’ to third parties. Equally, we will recommend other professionals solely on the basis of our judgment of their ability and not as the result of any undue influence arising from monetary benefit.
