    Anna is worth her weight in gold! Being a first time buyer the process can be so daunting but Anna’s communication and attention to detail made the process seamless! Anna was always on hand to answer any questions we had and I would definitely use Anna again when the time comes to sell our house.

    My partner and I have just recently completed on the purchase of our first home. We decided to instruct Anna off the back of many great recommendations. Anna was absolutely fantastic from the get go, super knowledgeable, friendly and committed to get it through quickly. I highly recommend and will certainly be using Anna again in the future!

    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.

    Excellent experience - would absolutely recommend: The conveyancing team at the Taunton branch were highly personable and dealt with two of our recent matters efficiently and professionally, with excellent communication and response times throughout. A big thank you to Mercedes and her team. I’d also encourage people to read reviews with balance - clear communication and engagement from clients plays a big part in how smoothly a transaction runs, and our experience was very positive as a result.

      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.
