Fantastic service from Charlie Rason
We as a family recently lost our darling aunt. Fortunately our aunt had appointed Bonnetts as executor, and they were subsequently amalgamated with Herrington Carmicheal. Our appointed inheritance executive was Charlie Rason (now Jones), she has been amazing throughout the process, answered our questions promptly. None of us have been through the probate process before and it was a learning curve for us all, so having Charlie help us through it was great. She is very professional, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Thank you

Herrington Carmichael - by far the best for house sale and purchase
Everyone from Herrington-Carmichael who have helped us with the sale of our house and purchase of our new one have been professional, efficient but friendly and approachable.
We are in our 70s, have bought and sold a number of properties. This is far and away the best firm of solicitors we have ever met.
They are very highly recommended.

House sale and purchase
MJ and her team were incredibly helpful, courteous and friendly. They always responded in a timely manner. The sale in particular was very complex and they dealt with everything so our buyers could complete by the Stamp duty deadline. I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

They say moving is stressful but the team I had on board throughout my sale and purchase pulled out all the stops to get both over the line. In all I had six dealing with all the aspects on both.
I had a problem that my lease showed a parking space my Landlord just took away to build a driveway to another property. He thought it could be resolved with a Variation Agreement but the Land Registry rejected this so my team got to work with surrendering my original lease issuing a new one but in the name of my purchasers to speed things up and saved the day.
I cannot thank them enough for a tremendous job and being so helpful throughout

I engaged Herrington Carmichael 6 years ago for a property purchase and returned to them recently to handle a sale and purchase. Jo and her team (including Ellena) completed our house purchase without a hitch. All aspects of the transaction were handled in a professional, efficient and friendly manner. 10 out of 10. Let's hope the sale goes as smoothly.

This was our second property transaction through Herrigton Charmichael and once more the quality and professionalism of service from Kate and Joshua was exceptional. It's never as straightforward as you want it to be and it was a reassuring relief to have them batting on our side throughout.

Awful firm, avoid them at all costs!! At the start of this year I was offered the opportunity to extend the lease on the property I own by the management company for the development where I live. Herrington Carmichael were the appointed solicitors for the work to be completed through. To start off with I had to make payment in full upfront of over £1300 before any work had been completed. The whole process was painful from start to finish, not once did I have a phone conversation with the person that was supposed to be doing the work. Even though I tried to have phone conversations with the Solicitor in charge, every piece of communication I received from them came via e-mail making it seem very impersonal to me. On more than one occasion postal correspondence that was supposed to be sent to my bank was sent to the wrong address which held up the process. Eventually I had to specifically request for signed forms to be sent to my bank by recorded delivery (something that I would have thought a solicitors firm would do automatically). As a client I felt that I wasn't valued at all mainly as I had been made to pay for the work up front so therefore I was continually having to chase them from that point until the work was completed. Take it from me as someone who has had the unfortunate experience of dealing with this firm, if you don't want stress and a major headache do not use this firm for any legal work you require!
