I am so pleased I was recommended Richard Reed as the solicitors to act on our behalf during our first house purchase.
All of the team I spoke to were friendly, helpful and efficient.
They were always happy to explain things in more detail when required (as I first time buyer I needed to ask extra questions a lot!).
When things were getting difficult with others in the chain, Steven was professional and assertive to make sure things did not fall apart.
Very happy and grateful for the service provided. I would not hesitate to return to Richard Reed in the future.

The Purchase and transfer of documents was a lengthy and drawn out process due to some obstructions and non responses from the sellers. Throughout Hannah Parton kept myself and Alison informed and pushed the Building society and sellers for up to date information and progress reports from their end. The sellers often stalled and some vital information and paperwork was hard to get them to send such as electric certificates. Hannah went above and beyond and often had 'face to face' meetings with myself to give me updates and was especially helpful with the 'disclosure of funds' as this was a cash purchase and I work foreign and get paid in US Dollars which gets paid into my US bank then transferred into my UK bank.
Hannah was a joy to work with.
A representative from Richard Reed Ltd responded to this review on 12 December, 2024:
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re thrilled to hear that Hannah provided such dedicated and proactive support throughout what sounds like a challenging process. Navigating delays and complexities, can be demanding, and it’s wonderful to know that Hannah’s efforts and face-to-face updates made a positive difference for you. We’ll be sure to share your comments with Hannah and the team. Thank you for choosing Richard Reed Solicitor.

We have just sold our property and purchased our new home with Richard Reed Solicitors. Nicola and Joanne were fantastic throughout the entire process! The communication and efficiency were second-to-none. Nicola and Joanne answered our questions, dealt with matters extremely promptly and made the matter of selling and buying less stressful.
