Helped every step of the way to my new home

Helen was great. I was kept informed on progress and she chased the sellers solicitors at regular intervals. Everything was fully explained and the sale went through smoothly.

A thoroughly straightforward experience without any stress

5

From selling our house to purchasing our new property the whole process was seamless. Given that moving house is one of the most stressful times in your life, Helen and Mandeep at Alsters made the whole experience very straightforward. We were kept up to date with events without having to chase for information and all communication was easy to understand and not complicated. Would thoroughly recommend their service

Excellent experience!

We instructed Alster Kelley to deal with our recent purchase. Helen Checketts was our solicitor and was excellent and responsive in her communication throughout. Buying a house can be stressful but she made it a pleasant experience! I would highly recommend both Helen and Alsters Kelley.

Alsters Kelley were the co-executors of my late parents' estate. From the death of my last surviving parent, Alsters Kelley, under the leadership of Corrine Seabourne has managed the probate application and estate transfers, supported the sale of the property and have provided sound guidance all the way during the completion of the estate. Everything has been handled promptly and professionally, and any query or concern I raised was dealt with immediately - even during the very trying COVID-related issues that we have all had to face. Corrine Seabourne provided a very professional and solid support for all queries, and actually covered all of my questions and possible concerns before I raised any, which was very reassuring. Having Alsters Kelley as the co-executors of the estate and it being handled as professionally as it was, I had no hesitation in asking them to handle the sale of my parents' property. Again, the advice and support of the team appointed to manage the sale was excellent, and I couldn't have asked for more. I am very grateful to the team at Alsters Kelley, and would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending them.

Alsters Kelley have since helped us to move house from Northamptonshire to Wales. This was a process fraught with difficulty, challenge and frustration, all of which were dealt with very professionally by Helen Checketts who managed to steer us through all the issues with calm, clear guidance and advice. I think, without Helen's support, we may well have given up the attempt at a couple of stages!!
Having had the very positive experience (as detailed above) with the sale of my late mother's property and the winding up of her estate, it was an easy decision to engage Alsters Kelley again on our own move.
I can heartily recommend Helen Checketts and her team for a thoroughly professional service. Thank you!!

One of the most challenging parts of buying a property is getting the right legal team in that will push the process forward and keep you well informed, without you having to chase them for updates. We've bought properties in the past and questioned what exactly were we paying the legal team to do, as we had to do all the chasing. Not in this case, Helen and her team were definitely on it!
We had a very tight deadline to complete the purchase and Helen was very honest from the outset, iinforming us completion in the timeframe may not be possible, but said she would push hard. Despite the tardy response from the vendors solicitor, Helen and the team were ready to exchange and complete weeks before our deadline. This is by far the least stressful property purchase we have ever made, and can only thank Helen and the rest of her team at Alsters Kelley for their wonderful service.

We recently used Mahika and Helen conveyancing services for our house purchase and could not praise the service we received highly enough. Both were very responsive to our queries which made the process much easier and straightforward. We would certainly use them for future purchases.
