Fantastic and patient

We worked with Dawn Hudson on conveyancing for our sale and purchase within a chain of 5 properties. Dawn was very persistent and patient and provided clear advice and guidance throughout. She supported us fantastically well through what turned out to be quite a complex chain that had several false starts on exchange of contracts. We would absolutely work with Dawn again on future sales and purchases and would definitely recommend her services to other people.

Power of Attorney

We contacted Greenwoods regarding Power of Attorney for a relative recently retuned to the UK. Camilla visited us to discuss our issues with us and our relative. She was highly professional throughout yet remained approachable and very easy to talk to. She was able to give some sound help and advice on the situation which is complicated by international issues, calling back several times with results of her research on our behalf. We would highly recommend Greenwoods and will definitely be using them again in the future.

Excellent conveyancing service

Would highly recommend Greenwoods who handled the conveyancing for our recent house sale and purchase, and also did our wills. They provided excellent communication and service throughout and responded to all our (many!) queries promptly and clearly.

Excellent!

Camilla updated my will for me - she was really thorough, very quick response times and an absolutely lovely person to deal with. I had a lot of questions and she answered them all, and nothing was too much trouble. The whole process was handled really efficiently and I have already recommended them to others.

Writing up my Will

I called into Greenwood's Solicitors and I was greeted by the lovely staff. I explained to them why I was calling in and without any hesitation they were more than happy to assist with my enquiry. I made an appointment there and then to accommodate and suit my availability. The process from start to finish was stressless, very professional. The staff made the experience very pleasant and took care of all my worries. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

First time buyer

I’ve heard so many horror stories about buying your first home, especially around communication and delays between buyer and seller solicitors. Dawn was my solicitor and she was amazing! Quick at updating me whenever the seller solicitors got in touch and advising on anyway we could speed up the process. She even recommended a mortgage broker who was super efficient and got me a great rate! All around fantastic team. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to a friend!

Would not use anyone else.

Dawn has done our conveyancing for as long as we can remember. We move house a lot! She is extremely professional, reliable and if she says she is going to do something you can rest assured it will be done. We have recommended her to so many people. Sandra is a superstar on reception too. Wouldn’t use anywhere else.

Excellent service, friendly, helpful, efficient, good communication and with competitive rates.
Handy having a local solicitor, could easily drop documents off at their office when required.

I have used Dawn at Greenwoods for two house sales and one purchase. Dawn has, without fail, every time been absolutely amazing. She is always in contact, quickly, efficiently and with a common sense approach. She remains calm during the stressful times and we wouldn’t have been able to complete on our purchase without Dawn’s professional, calm and efficient approach. Thank you.
