Pain free House Purchase

Jess Ralph was fantastic from start to finish of our house buying process. Herself and the team at Meikles made the purchase of our first home pain free and comfortable. They were always there to answer any queries and were quick to respond. I would highly recommend Jess, and this firm.

Excellent Service! Persevered on behalf of us!

Told us upfront it may take time and we were kept in the loop. Excellent advice and ensured we would be fully covered when we bought our freehold.

I was initally a little dissappointed as could not use my local branch for conveyancing as they were representing the seller so I used the Ferryhill. Branch instead. Wow am I pleased I did.... I can honestly say I'm impressed with the service I have received from Claire Coates as my solicitor and her assistant Nicola. As someone who has lived in the same property for 30yrs to say I was nervous about the thought of moving is an understatement However I can honestly say Nicola was so so supportive and also very prompt at answering any queries I had guiding and reassuring me constantly. Claire on our face to face today was amazing she was so so friendly and informal and very very professional and personal in her manner. I would definitely recommend Meikle at Ferryhill to family and friends in the future given my experience on this occasion

Fast, helpful and professional

They assisted me with an employment issue and we're extremely quick, turning over the required documents the same day! I was also able to pop into a branch to sign and return the documents!

My brother was in Bishop Auckland Hospital and being sent to Sunderland for life saving surgery. He needed to make a will urgently and didn't know if a solicitor would go to the hospital. After ringing Meikles Bishop Auckland and speaking to a very nice lady it was organised for Amy Dodds from the Sedgefield branch to visit. Amy was brilliant and had his will made and signed with a follow up visit all in less than a week. The service could not have been better. It was a difficult time but my brother, thankfully, came through the operation and is recovering. This was at the end of February beginning of March. Thank you Amy and Meikles for a brilliant service very reasonably priced.
