Sale and Purchase

5

We chose Herrington Carmichael because of their good reviews and we were not disappointed. Every member of the team we dealt with was friendly and professional and I think nearly every single email/phonecall was responded to on the same day. Phenomenal in comparison to previous experiences of other solicitors.
In particular we would like to mention Roisin, Ellan and Jessica who between them handled the sale of our old property and purchase of our new property. If we need to move again we will 100% be using Herrington Carmichael again.

Fantastic, no other words!

5

Honestly, a fantastic experience. I applied quite a bit of pressure on the team to meet a deadline which had been set FOR us, and was looking like it was not going to be followed by those who set the deadline for us, but we made it with a few hours to spare. I dealt specifically with Mary-Jayne Eldred and also Laura Miller (could not find her on the drop down unfortunately) but they were both fantastic. The sale of our flat was a bit all over the place, with questions asked and confusion due to the leasehold structure, but Mary-Jayne and I worked together really well, and I felt that Mary-Jayne was appreciative of my support and information-providing towards the final hours before exchange (which was nail biting, I have to admit!) Also, Mary-Jayne dealt with the sale so well, our previous solicitor would have never coped with the questions, or with the quick turnaround needed.

The purchase of our new house dealt with by Laura was great as well, and was much easier than the sale of the flat.

Was great to find a solicitor firm with a bit of banter and a personable approach.

Legal assistance received for home move/purchase

5

We appointed Herrington Carmichael to assist us with the legalities of selling our home, and purchasing a newbuild property.

The support we received from all involved was fantastic. Everything was explained very clearly, and response times were impeccable. The team here made this a lot less stressful, and were extremely knowledgeable when it came to the formalities of purchasing a new build.

Everyone we dealt with was polite, courteous, kind, and personable. We couldn't have asked for more.

We would highly recommend this firm!

Quick and efficient service on Sale/Purchase

5

We were recommended Herrington Carmichael by our developer Bellway. Having had quotes from other firms it was refreshing to see everything outlined clearly and not hidden away in the T&Cs.

The communication was above and beyond what we expected, with response times sometimes within minutes which made our lives a lot easier.

No question went unanswered and Roisin was reassuring when deadlines were getting tight.

Would not hesitate to use them again in the future if that ever is the case!

Fantastic service

Very approachable, friendly and reassuring. I had a bit of a nightmare as 7 were in my chain but Roisin was reassuring and didn’t get funny when I was ringing and emailing all the time.

We recently used Herrington Carmichael for our house sale and purchase, we primarily dealt with Roisin and Ellan who impressed us with their efficiency and ability to put us at ease despite a few hiccups along the way which were out of their control. We would not hesitate to use this company again!

What a great team at Herrington Carmichael in Camberley!

I've been out of the property market for a while so was almost like buying my first house all over.

There was a very smooth and organised flow within the team starting with Laura who helped me through the initial stages (with much patience!) through to Zoe the solicitor who dealt with the detailed review of the searchs, ending up with Mary-Jane and Ellan in the completions dept who dealt with the seller. They operated like a relay team passing the batten at each stage, absolutely brilliant!

And this was all done through the pressures of the 30th June stamp duty deadline!!

I hear many stories of nightmares with solicitors etc but I totally struck gold here and would highly reommend Herrington Carmichael.

I'm in my new home now, and thanks to the team, made the SDLT deadline, much to my relief!

Thank you to all !!!
