Outstanding Service

If you are looking for conveyancing Michelle Sadler is quite outstanding. She stays in constant contact, frequently returning emails in minutes. She anticipates requirements and shows a wealth of property transaction knowledge. I have no hesitation in recommending her work unreservedly and would seek to instruct her again should the need arise. She is well backed up by the considerable resources of Risdon Hosegood.

Utterly appalling service over several transactions


After an arduous 18-month journey with Risdon Hosegood, I feel compelled to share my experience in hopes that others might avoid the challenges we faced. What began as a journey filled with optimism and trust in a reputable firm ended in profound disappointment and significant consequences for our project.

From the onset, our case seemed to be a low priority, as evidenced by our frequent reassignment from one conveyancer to another. This lack of continuity not only hindered the development of a coherent strategy but also led to repeated explanations and delays, exacerbating the already stressful process of legal conveyancing.

The pinnacle of our frustration came when, after months of assurances and last-minute requests for patience, we were bluntly informed that they were too busy to finalize our transaction. This lack of commitment and professionalism was not just disappointing; it was detrimental. It directly contributed to our lender withdrawing funds from our project, a move that had severe financial implications and disrupted our plans significantly.

Communication, a cornerstone of any professional service, was where Risdon Hosegood failed us most. Rather than facilitating a smooth transaction, their interactions with our lender painted a picture of inefficiency and neglect, ultimately undermining our project's credibility and viability.

In reflection, the decision to engage Risdon Hosegood for our conveyancing needs was, regrettably, a mistake. The consequences of their disorganization and lack of dedication have been far-reaching, affecting not just our immediate plans but our trust in legal support services.

For those considering Risdon Hosegood for their conveyancing needs, I urge you to reconsider. Look for a firm that values your business, communicates effectively, and is committed to seeing your transaction through to a successful and timely conclusion. Our experience, marked by frustration and disappointment, serves as a cautionary tale of what can happen when a firm falls short of these fundamental professional standards, sadly this was not a isolated experience as we had several cases with this term over the same period all very very painful and protected experiences
