Risdons are highly recommended.

My mum needed a solicitor for her house sale and new purchase. I emailed three potentials and Risdons responded really quickly to my questions in a detailed and professional manner. Through both the sale and purchase, Michelle, Emma and the team have really impressed me. The process was protracted with a few issues with other solicitors and we were regularly updated. I would highly recommend Risdons and would definitely use them again in the future.

A good level of service

Risdons Solicitors dealt with my case in a highly proffessional way and ensured a smooth process up to the exchange of contracts. Communication was good, even though I had to chase things up sometimes. Overall I am happy with the services I received and I would gladly recommend Risdons Solicitors to others.

I'm not sure if Risdons (especially Anna Venning) could have pushed any harder or been any more helpful. I was not able to use my original solicitor so 'had' to use Risdons and honestly it's the best choice I made. If and when in the future the requirement is there, Anna will be my first choice. I cannot thank them/her any more, absolutely brilliant service!! they make the complicated reallyu uncomplicated through what is now obviously, a wealth of experiance in that office! Thanks Risdons - Howie :) x

During the process, the Risdons email server was hacked by criminals. As a result, we received the wrong instructions for paying a large amount. Now Risdons refuses all cooperation and does not want to compensate for the damage. They are old-fashioned and use temporary staff. They do not take any responsibility and sometimes it takes weeks before you hear that the person handling your case has left. In the meantime, nothing happens and you are left to your fate. Be careful what you do if you take advice from this office.

A representative from Risdons Solicitors responded to this review

This review contains information that we believe is not a true reflection of the matter. Our email server has never been hacked.

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.
