Great

Both Anna and Michelle supported us with the sale and purchase of our home. The purchase was particularly stressful but Anna kept us up to date and supported us throughout. Fantastic communication and really helped me over many months. We are now in our new home and settled. Thank you both :)

Fantastic Experience

I recently sold a house and purchased another after probate. The service received from Teresa and her team was fantastic. It was a personal experience from start to finish with no question ever being too small. I felt valued as an individual. Thank you Teresa and team for your hard work.

A very easy and pleasant experience making my will with the lovely Sam. Nothing was too much trouble and she answered all my questions putting me at ease from start to finish. I don't know why I put it off for so long.

Contacted to get an idea of their costs for dealing with my divorce, seemed helpful and friendly so tried to instruct them. Took them around 2 weeks to send formal costs estimate and had to chase them for it several times. Meanwhile, they drafted one e mail to my ex husband which was basically a rushed cut and paste job using text from my e mail to them, very unimpressive. Decided to leave it there and instruct another firm only to get a letter from Risdon Hosegood over a year later threatening to take action over their bill - which I'd never received and which they'd omitted to enclose with that letter - shoddy work again. Would never use - my divorce was dealt with very efficiently and cost effectively by another local firm.

We are sorry you feel disappointed with the outcome of your matter.

Thank you

A big thank you to Anna & her team and all at Risdons Solicitors. Would highly recommend using them. They were professional throughout. Keeping us up to date and providing us with all the info and extra understanding when required. Anna was always helpful and insightful and friendly. The people at Risdons are all friendly. A joy to work with with regards the sale of our house & purchase of our new one. Again a big thanks of gratitude to Anna and the team.

New Wills for myself and my wife

Although my wife and I were very nervous about completing our Wills and it had taken quite a while for us to approach a Solicitor. We were recommended to approach Risdon's in Wellington. we were not disappointed, and put at ease straight away by Sarah Back who was friendly, professional, efficient, knowledgeable and explained everything a couple of times!!! So that we understood what we were doing. I would have no hesitation in using Risdons again and would recommend them to anyone wanting an approachable, friendly service. Thank you.

Really good service from Julie & Rachel in the Wellington Office. We were working on short time-scales and they did everything they could to accommodate this. I can't fault the service they provide at all. Many thanks

They have dealt with the sale of our house and subsequent purchase (multiple of which due to transactions falling through). They have been pro-active, effective, with good attention to detail. They have also been understanding and supportive where our purchases have fallen through. Cannot recommend highly enough.
