Change in staff

1

I set out on my conveyancing journey with a fantastic staff member, great contact and working hard for the money, i couldn't have been happier. Sadly he left prior to the completion and the staff who took over were a poor substitute. Ignored emails, phones turned off and finally a gracious offer of reduced fee's for the new persons work... in which they had not completed any. I am absolutely happy to pay the bill but please don't pretend that i am paying for your work when it was your predecessor. Needless to say i will not be returning.

Fantastic service

We can not thank Kelly Cottrell and Charlotte enough. They have been clear every step of the way in the sale of our home. Friendly but extremely professional team. They both managed our expectations of when and how to do things at every stage. We do not give credit lightly, however we have no hesitation in recommended these ladies.

Outstanding professional service, yet again from Kelly Cottrell

5

This is probably one of the most important reviews I have ever felt I wanted to leave.
I have used Kelly Cottrell a few times now, and diligent, professional and hard working are adjectives that come to mind. However, on this house sale and purchase, she really stepped up further. We had a horrendous buyer, who equally was using a solicitor that in my opinion should not be practicing. He was utterly unprofessional, lazy, rude and uncommunicative, taking months to reply to emails, leaving us totally dumbfounded. However, at every turn Kelly remained utterly focused and I feel she was entirely what kept the sale together.
I also want to mention her assistant Charlotte, like Kelly, she was there when we needed, she is polite, fast acting and diligent, she outshone others around her and I want to give both her and Kelly my sincere thanks for what has been the worst conveyance to date. Thank goodness I had Kelly at the helm. After months of utter stress, she pulled it off. I will be forever grateful. What a team you have !

Conveyancing

5

I am writing to thank Kelly Cottrell for the conveyancing on our house move. She was extremely patient despite dealing with the most inept solicitor ever in the transactions from another firm.
I would most definitely recommend her services. She was just brilliant throughout. Extremely knowledgeable.
