Complex property transactions.

Lee Thompson has been supporting us both personally and the development company for a range of complex property transactions for over three years. Lee always manages to explain clearly the implications of various options, offer balanced advice, rarely needing the support of others within the firm giving us full confidence in the legal process with Lodders.

Land Purchase, Sutton Coldfield

Lodders are an extremely professional company to deal with. They are meticulous in their approach, namely Lee Thompson, whether this is a land purchase or dealing with a financial lender when bringing in development finance. I always feel that lodders are fully assessing the risks with projects and what the potential and most likely outcome will be. Lee is extremely competent in dealing with highly complex situations that need an eye for detail, whilst the task also needs to be completed within a given deadline.

Help with Party Wall matters

Lauren was excellent in helping us to resolve issues with a Party Wall matter. She was able to find information which helped us to resolve problems we had with our neighbour who shared the wall with us. She also had a very comprehensive knowledge of party wall matters. Her advice was invaluable.

Advice as an Attorney

I have been receiving excellent service from Michael who is helping me to cope as attorney for someone with memory issues. as there is an emotional connection for me it is most reassuring to be helped by someone who understands the difficulties and can provide excellent and impartial advice. I certainly would not be able to cope with the situation without the help, advice and support which Michael provides. I am extremely grateful to Michael and thank him for the first class service.

Michael Brook from Lodders was a huge help in navigating through some legal family matters with my elderly mother. He explained complicated issues simply and clearly so that my mother could understand them. He has the perfect demeanor of professionalism combined with friendliness and empathy. We could not have been in better hands. A very heartfelt thank you to Michael and to Lodders from me, my mother and my sister. We could not have got through this without you!
