Successful will and LPA conclusion

A number of factors delayed us revising our wills for a few years. When we finally approached Battens (on recommendation) Emily guided us through the process and gave excellent advice. When emailing use with drafts her documents and responses were always prompt and she gave accurate timelines for completion. Emily was efficient and professional but very pleasant and understanding of our circumstances.

I found Battens to be excellent to deal with for my home Sale & purchase. Everything was laid out clearly from the outset, & the team were very experienced. Battens made handling my transaction as stress free as possible. Rachel & the team showed great determination, knowledge & resiliance throughout & im am glad I engaged a local solicitor to handle both transactions. Would highly Recommend & use again Cheers Neil

We have used Battens (Yeovil) again for the sale of our previous home and buying of our new one. Cannot recommend Ross, Mandy and Roisin enough. They were very helpful and responsive from start to finish, and even though the chain initially collapsed, they were on the ball and kept us updated every step of the way. Would definitely recommend.
