    This is the second time using Risdons to help sell and buy properties. Mercedes Thorne has again been incredible. Always professional, approachable and never a struggle to get a hold of. Nothing is ever too much trouble and everything is explained in a way I can understand. I appreciate all the hard work she put in to making my house move happen. Thank you!

    Kate and Teresa responded to our queries relating to the sale of a property promptly and professionally. It was easy to communicate with them and they were generally available when we needed to speak to them - something I consider to be really important. We had a very good experience with them overall and would not hesitate to recommend. They provided a great, efficient service.

    Anri fulfilled all my expectations regarding a solicitor dealing with a sale of property. Communication in particular was excellent. The only observation I'd make was in relation to the on line portal which at times was a little frustrating to use.

    I am not surprised at the other fantastic reviews here…We have very recently used Anri in our conveyancing process when selling and purchasing our new home, which was not without hiccups! Anri and the team at Risdon’s were exceptional with their responsiveness and guidance, far exceeding our experiences previously. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble and to have a ‘human’ experience was wonderful. We also dealt with Sam B at the Taunton office who was very friendly and helpful, putting my mind at great ease. Thank you all, so much! ☺️

    We had a fantastic experience with Michelle, who handled the sale of our property. She was incredibly professional, helpful and approachable throughout the whole process. One of the things we appreciated most was how proactive Michelle was - we never felt like we needed to chase her for updates or progress, as she was always one step ahead and kept everything moving. She was extremely organised, responsive and on top of everything from start to finish, which made what could have been a stressful process feel completely smooth and straightforward. Thank you so much!
