Great service!

Leanne was dealing with my case and it was a pleasure working with her. As an estate agent it’s vital to have great solicitors to keep the ball rolling and that’s exactly what Leanne did.

She is an excellent communicator and always replied promptly. She went above a beyond with the customer service; even dealing with my case when she was on annual leave or out of hours.

I highly recommend using Leanne’s service! Very pleased.

First class service.

From the initial contact right up to conclusion, Ramsha provide a first class service.

Very quick to take instructions and very quick to reply to my numerous queries in a friendly, clear and efficient way. Throughout, she provided excellent advice, for which I am very grateful.

I do not take such excellent service for granted - particularly since Covid, its certainly not the norm.

Absolutely recommended.

Highly recommended

My first problem tenant as a landlord of 10 years and tried to resolve the matter myself initially to try and save money but without success. Jade Kennedy provided all the friendly & professional advice needed through the Section 8 minefield of paperwork in a very timely & professional manner. Response rate has always been a bug bear of mine from previous solicitor experiences but Jade provided very quick responses to all queries and my case sailed through the court process. Thanks again to Jade and would definitely recommend for anyone needing this specialist service.

We cannot express enough how grateful we are for Lucy's outstanding assistance in the purchase of our new home. From the very beginning, Lucy made the entire conveyancing process not only manageable but actually enjoyable!

Her communication skills are unparalleled, Lucy was always prompt and clear in her responses. We never had to chase her for updates or clarity—she anticipated our questions and addressed any potential concerns before we even had to ask. It was so refreshing to have someone who genuinely cared about us and our experience!

What truly set Lucy apart was her ability to explain even the most complex legal jargon in a way that made it easy to understand. She walked us through every step, ensuring we felt confident and informed throughout the entire process. It truly felt like we had a knowledgeable friend guiding us rather than just a conveyancing assistant.

Thanks to Lucy's hard work and dedication, we felt completely at ease during what could have been a very stressful time. Her professionalism and expertise made all the difference, and we are now happily settled into our new home, all thanks to her efforts!
