Leila Archer

Tagged solicitor Leila Archer

We appointed Leila as our solicitor for a sale and purchase transaction - she was fantastic. All the way through the process she communicated with us clearly and simply and was able to explain and advise on the risks assuredly. We also did not have to chase - she fully understood the timescales and worked hard to keep the transactions going at pace. In the end we had to exchange and complete quickly due to the circumstances of the purchase (outside of our control) and Leila managed it through to conclusive fluently with minimum fuss. We can't thank her enough! Would definitely recommend.

Sadie has been immensely helpful and supportive throughout our first ever remortgage process. The initial contact was fast and clear and I understood everything that was required from me. Sadie kept constant communication and answered every question promptly and with full details so I was never left unsure of the answer given. Couldn’t recommend enough
