From the beginning Nicole and Sam were always there to advise me, hold my hand, and help me navigate the foreign legalities of the UK. In addition, everyone I had contact with in the office was unfailingly kind and helpful. When I have the good fortune of returning to Sunderland, I will definitely seek you out. It goes without saying that I would recommend your Firm without hesitation. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Couldn't have wished for anyone better

I needed a conveyancer for my first house purchase and Sam was highly recommended to me by a friend’s dad, who had repeatedly gone back to her over the years for various sales and purchases (as had his family members and friends, upon his recommendation) and wouldn’t use anyone else. She was indeed fantastic, and I’m so thankful to have had that recommendation. Sam is very friendly and approachable, super-efficient, was very prompt at keeping me up-dated, and tenacious in chasing others up, when necessary, during the purchase process. She really knows her stuff and proffered me (being new to all this) an abundance of advice and was incredibly helpful. I relied on her skill, knowledge and professionalism a lot, and will definitely go back to her again if/when I need a conveyancer in the future. Thanks so much for everything Sam, you’ve been wonderful!

Sam is fantastic at fighting her clients' corner and keeping the pressure on when needed, so it’s brilliant to hear how supported you felt. Huge congratulations on your first house purchase, Phillipa!

Excellent service as always. We had the pleasure of dealing with Jackie Rutherford and the conveyancing team with regards to the sale of my late Father’s house. They made the process as smooth and painless as possible. We have worked with Laura Robinson for many years and had no hesitation in getting LWR’s conveyancing team to assist with this. First rate!

I will shout from the rooftops at how brilliant this firm is, not once have I had to chase them up! as a first time buyer from Newcastle I’ve had a few bad experience with mortgage advisors in Newcastle, until I found a absolute gem, called Armenal Dodds, who’s from Sunderland and then this firm was recommended by family. I’m originally from Sunderland so I trust Sunderland people more to get the job right. They have been so quick to do everything, the searches etc. I’ve heard horror stories that it takes months and months to buy a house but for me it’s only been just about 3 months! Rebecca Downey and Jackie Rutherford are absolutely brilliant. Rebecca has been such a gem and also the receptionist I love her cheery demeanor whenever I ring, and she’s always said my name right which I really appreciate. I love this firm and no doubt I will use them again and will 100% recommend them.

my Section 21 application

I had an excellent experience with Tom Behan at Longden Walker and Renney (Solicitors) Limited, who handled my Section 21 application. Tom provided an outstanding service from start to finish. He was highly professional, knowledgeable, and efficient throughout the process. His responses were always timely, and I particularly appreciated the excellent communication and customer service I received. The entire process was handled smoothly and professionally, giving me confidence that my case was in capable hands. I was also very impressed with the competitive price for such a high standard of service. I would highly recommend Tom Behan [Longden Walker and Renney (Solicitors) Limited] to anyone looking for reliable, efficient, professional, and competitively priced legal services. **Thank you, Tom, for your excellent service and support.**

Knowing our wishes are in safe hands is reassuring

From entering reception we were put at ease by Susan the receptionist, very friendly. Peter Durham made us feel comfortable as it was our first time making our Wills. His professional, modern, approachable manner made the whole process easy. He made the daunting task worry free. Knowing our wishes are in safe hands is reassuring.

Belated thanks to Chris Clayton for giving me some good advice at a difficult time. Whilst I didn’t end up taking my case further, I really appreciate the fact Longden Walker & Renney offered a free consultation to decide how to take things forward. My case might not have seemed very important to some solicitors due to the small amount of money involved, but Chris took the time to listen, understand and give me options, which meant a lot at an upsetting time. If I need legal help again in the future, I’d certainly get in touch with Longden Walker & Renney.

I must give my feedback/review for services provided by Stephen and Sarah at Longden Walker & renney solicitors. Stephen is highly professional and absolute friendly at the same time. He explains everything to the point and with smallest details, and make sure individual is fully aware of both positive and negative factors. I must recommend their services. His PA Sarah is also fantastic, and takes timely follow up as and when required. The lady on reception @Susan greets you with her sweet and cheerfull voice everytime. Overall 10 on 10 for them all. Recommend 100%

Excellent service from Sarah and Stephen. Not only did they work with us on a new purchase they also supported us to solve a problem caused by our previous solicitors. They always kept us informed and nothing was a problem for them. Would highly recommend them and we would certainly use them again in the future.
