After first meeting where things were explained, all went forward very well, I was expecting a 6 week wait, but only took about 4 weeks.
Happy with the service, thank you.

Wonderful to deal with

I asked Oyin to prepare my will for me and, from start to finish, she was an absolute delight to work with. She's knowledgable, reliable, friendly and human, and has operated fully in my corner. I feel at ease talking with her, both online and face to face: she listened carefully, asked some great questions and offered sound advice around my less-than-straightforward situation. I received the documents within a couple of days and they detailed everything we'd discussed and agreed perfectly. It's really lovely to deal with someone in a serious profession who has such a natural approach to people. Oyin made something I had been avoiding really easy, and I will happily continue to use her for every legal need I have.

Thanks Oyin!

Samson Coward, Salisbury

I received excellent support and advice when rewriting my will. The only minor issue is that the Salisbury office is quite busy. Just bear this in mind if you are time-critical.

Highly recommended

Emma Lockwood has been absolutely amazing. Her professionalism and sound advice along with her kindness and compassion has been so much appreciated. I don't know how I would have got through what has been a quite unpleasant situation without her guidance and expertise.

Excellent Service!

Jane Pringle dealt with the conveyancing for the purchase of a flat and the service we received was excellent. The communications were always prompt and we couldn't have asked for better service.

House sale and purchase

This is the 2nd time I have engaged Jane and her team on a house sale and purchase in the last 3 years and, as with the first one, it was a smooth and efficient experience working with Jane, despite there being some complications with the nature of the property we were selling.
Throughout the whole process Jane and the team were incredibly responsive and communicative, letting us know clearly what was required of us and responding to our questions and queries promptly - at no time did we feel we couldn't speak to her or Kelly or feel we couldn't ask any questions, no matter how trivial they may have been.
I would highly recommend Jane and will certainly want her to work on any future conveyancing projects with us.

Responsive, professional and committed to providing great service

David Coward was recommended to me by my brother, who had engaged David on two prior employment law matters. From the first conversation with him, I found him to be thorough, knowledgeable and clearly committed to making sure I got the advice I needed, when I needed it. This included reviewing my settlement agreement in two days, following up by phone one evening to make sure I had received the documents I hade been sent; and following up on another occasion to see if I had any outstanding questions. Throughout, he was approachable, responsive, and professional. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

Caroline Parsons has acted for me since 2002 - she is quick, accurate and always returns calls/emails. I recommend her to everyone who needs a conveyancer as I know she will do a great job for them. Cannot rate Caroline highly enough :)

My partner and I instructed Vicky Langdown of Sampson Coward to act on our purchase. Vicky and her colleagues were incredible throughout the buying process, and offer both professional and sound advice. In Vicky's absence, Sara was equally fantastic at keeping things moving and chasing the vendors solicitors until the moment we exchanged. I would not hesitate to recommend the services of Sampson Coward to anyone - an absolutely first class service from start to finish.

As a first time buyer Natalie really helped me along the process keeping me informed. She was good at chasing the chain and kept me updated. We had a target completion date right from the word go and she managed to get things past the line right on track.

The process of buying a home was made all the more cumbersome and stressful by using this company. The information I received regarding the purchase of the property, was only received through the estate agents and the vender’s solicitors. On 3 separate occasions I was told the report had been prepared and sent to me and it hadn’t been. I had to wait an extra 2 weeks solely because they had forgotten to order the funds. The whole process lacked organisation and was haphazard. The receptionist gave me more information and was more approachable than the solicitor representing the purchase with email replies received weeks later. In all sincerity, I am unable to recommend this company
