Helen Young helped me through the conveyancing of my late Parents house. She answered every email very quickly and even telephoned to explain things I didn't understand. I never felt ignored and knew exactly where we were up to.

A professional, courteous and friendly service

The conveyancing team were always courteous and professional during this transaction. The advice I received from Helen Young, in particular, was astute and helpful, based on her long experience in conveyancing. I would have no hesitation in recommending Helen, and her team in the firm, to anyone seeking a swift and successful property conveyance.

Daniel Stern was excellent for a service relating to a notice to terminate which we had contacted him for. We contacted him on short notice and requested this to be sorted fast, which once we had explained to Daniel the situation he was very helpful in. He provided the conclusion ahead of the required date, breaking our options down, and giving us competent advice. Would recommend highly to anyone else looking for help in this sort of matter. Thanks Daniel!

Our conveyancing process ran through the Christmas period, yet everything was handled efficiently and professionally. Miriam and Daniel were excellent throughout, coordinating clearly with the estate agency and the seller’s solicitor. They were responsive whenever we had questions and kept us well informed at each stage. Thanks to their diligence and clear communication, the process progressed smoothly and we completed around 2 months since my offer is accepted. Highly recommend Miriam and Daniel and their conveyancing team.

Had nothing but positive experiences using slater heelis. Daniel Henderson has been amazing in helping us both buy and sell our property and has replied to each of our queries very quickly. Miriam has also been fantastic in sorting out all the final things to conclude our sale and has also been great at responding to messages really quickly. Couldn’t recommend slater heelis enough and we wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Reassuring to have someone so experienced

Rachel was recommended to me by another lawyer who I had worked with in a different area of law. I contacted Rachel by email, an got a response within hours that she was in court and would call be when she was finished. She did just that even though it was after 6.30pm on a Friday. From my first conversation with Rachel is was clear how experienced she was and that the deeply reassuring given the circumstances. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rachel to anyone I knew

Dispute Resolution

Probate ... resolving family dispute ... addendum

I would further add ... I found Daniel professional, pleasure to deal with; he had a tenacious approach and delivered a first class service. The outcome of the dispute has made a difference to my life.

Dispute Resolution

Probate ... resolving family dispute

Three siblings, two siblings against one, all executors of the will with fives issues to be resolved. Mediation was suggested by friends but none of the siblings wanted to pay £10,000+. One sibling contacted Slater Heelis regarding resolution, in particular property, and was referred internally to Daniel Stern, Head of Property Litigation - Dispute Resolution. He dealt with the solicitors representing the other two siblings and wrote the settlement agreement which the other two siblings signed. Family relations have 'normalised'. Friends who have been through complicated divorces insisted I get a lawyer, or end up with nothing, are delighted with the outcome. Needless to say I am glad Daniel was my solicitor as he absolutely resolved the conflict.
