Not just paperwork
Conveyancing when purchasing a new build and involving PX is trickier and requires education as well as advice. Shifting to joint ownership through use of a declaration of trust affects personal relationships and needs delicate handling. In all respects the team at Risdon Hosegood more than met the requirement filling us with confidence and ensuring a timely house move.

After being thrown under a bus by my partner, Amanda Shaw at risdon hosegood was recommeneded to me..
After a couple of quotes from other solicitors risdon hosegood came in much cheaper and the service provided by Amanda was second to none! She instantly took all the stress off of me and handled my case amazingly, I honestly cannot thank Amanda and her team enough for how well they managed my situatation and case. Needless to say the case went in my favour after all their hard work. I would personally recommend risdon hosegood and especially Amanda Shaw without doubt and if I ever needed a solicitor again I wouldn't look anywhere else!
Thanks again to Amanda and the team!

Communication was excellent.
From the very outset or popping in for a quote for divorce, Amanda was understanding, informative and didn’t rush me. This enabled me to have full understanding of what had to go through. Communication was excellent. Amanda was extremely supportive from the first day of meeting her right through to attending court. Thankyou for everything you've been amazing.
