Our experience with initially Elle and then Emma were a pleasure, they were both extremely helpful at all times. We were constantly impressed by their professionalism and attention to detail. We felt confident throughout the whole process and would recommend to friends and family.

Emma Leighton Carey
Emma is absolutely fantastic and would recommend her highly, after an extremely stressful house sale for 11 months, Emma worked so efficiently and incredibly organised. We were never left in the dark with anything and she would always endeavour prompt replies. We couldn’t recommend Emma more if we tried. A huge Thankyou to Emma.

Good guidance and direction from start to finish.
Emma our solicitor was brilliant, providing professional advice and guidance throughout the whole "buying a new house" process. Clear guidence and help with documents/contract preparation and negotiating key dates.
Would recommend for ease and guidance during a potential stressful/exciting time in life.
Thank you Emma for all your help.

Don’t think twice
Emma was superb from first interaction to the last, for our house sale and purchase. Every communication was clear and efficient and using Emma made the whole move soooo much better an experience. I cannot recommend anyone as highly as I would for Emma. She promptly answered my phone calls, emails and any queries we had. She made us feel at ease knowing we had her on our side.
She did such a fantastic job the estate agency has added her to their recommended Solicitors list.

Amazing - Absolutely Amazing!
I had a very tight timescale to sell and purchase. Historically found many lawyers in this area of conveyancing falling back to automated processes, forms, voicemail, and constant chasing for updates. NOT with Emma… she was ‘on it’ keeping me constantly updated, doing everything she could to remove the headache of the process, and for me personally it was always a blessing that whenever I called she picked up and dealt with me direct and resolved any query or concern. Honestly couldn’t have asked for better. A blessing to have dealt with during a challenging process and timescale. Thank You
