We have used Leathes Prior for a number of years for conveyancing and have always received excellent service. Everything is dealt with promptly. Communication is excellent.

LP, and in particular Rebecca Millard, provided our company with excellent advice and support throughout the final negotiations of a complex commercial lease. Attention to detail, speed of response, informed advice and faithful representation and negotiation of our position characterised their support. Their engagement with us was friendly and good value.
Hello Thank you for this lovely review. We are so pleased Rebecca was able to assist. Best wishes LP

Anna Jordan and her team were exceptional throughout the sale process, including managing my aborted purchase and securing the completion on my new build. Her professionalism is outstanding; she provided thorough, clear advice on complex legal documents, searches, and mortgage issues. Her communication was prompt and proactive—she constantly chased the unresponsive third-party solicitors and management companies on my behalf, even involving the estate agent to push matters forward. She demonstrated a truly empathetic attitude, sharing in my frustration over external delays and always reassuring me we were pursuing the best course of action. I was consistently kept in the loop and felt completely supported through a very long process. Highly recommend for her dedication and client care
Hello Thank you so much for this kind review and words for Anna. We are so pleased she was able to assist you throughout the entire sales process. Congratulations! Best wishes LP
Extremely disappointing experience. We instructed Leathes Prior in connection with a significant commercial lease and nursery development. We subsequently found ourselves exposed to substantial costs associated with the condition of the property. To be clear, my criticism is not that a solicitor should have discovered structural defects. My concern is that we entered into a full repairing lease without a Schedule of Condition and I do not believe the potentially significant financial consequences of taking on responsibility for pre-existing disrepair were explained to us clearly enough before we committed. I raised these concerns formally with the firm and received their final complaint response rejecting the complaint. Having reviewed that response and the underlying correspondence, I remain deeply dissatisfied. For a transaction involving a substantial investment and a long-term lease, I expected advice that clearly translated the legal wording into the commercial and financial risks we were actually assuming. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I could not recommend Leathes Prior for this type of transaction.
Dear Umer We're so sorry to hear this. We do understand that you're in contact with our Client Relations Team regarding your concerns. Best wishes LP

Emily Whelband at Leathes Prior has been outstanding in supporting the sale of my property. There were a few unexpected issues along the way which were dealt with in a timely and professional manner.

May I very highly recommend Joanna Allen. After years of using many other solicitors Joanna stands out above all the rest. The work load she has taken on for me in the last 18 months whilst I build my property portfolio is incredible. Joanna always answer my emails extremely promptly and deals with all my deadlines well within the time limit. Her expertise, work ethic, communication, help and guidance is always second to none. As I continue to build my portfolio Joanna will always by my first choice of solicitor. I can’t speak highly enough of Joanna, she is an absolute credit to Leathes Prior.
Hello Kevin Thank you for this lovely review for Joanna. We are so pleased she has assisted you with multiple properties, and will be instructing Joanna again. Best wishes LP

Matthew provided exemplary advice with regard to my potential driving ban. Whilst recognising that 12 points is 12 points he presented the extenuating circumstances appropriately and in a manner that was likely to be heard by the court. I could not recommend him more highly.
Hello Richard Thank you so much for this review for Matthew, we are pleased he was able to support you and provide exemplary advice. Best wishes LP

After a bit of a shakey start ( not Leathes Priors making), Stephen Wilson and his team came to the fore and their attention to detail and communication with us was exemplary. The attention to detail was outstanding and we were very pleased that he and his team delivered on the timescales to exchange and eventually completion. We would recommend and indeed would use them again.
