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!

Excellent conveyancing

5

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.

Sublime service

We haven’t moved for 23 years and the prospect was quite daunting.

The team handled our affairs exceptionally well and we can’t recommend them enough.

Thank you again for all your hard work.

Sue & Andy

When I almost failed to complete on my sale and purchase at the very last minute Herrington and Carmichael were brilliant. Their persistence and advice paid off. Thanks Annari and team!

I had the pleasure of dealing with Laura & Holly throughout my sale and purchase process. Nothing was too much work and they made sure I understood everything beforehand. Wasn’t the smoothest transaction due to factors out of our control but the dealt with it so professionally!

Herrington Carmichael - by far the best for house sale and purchase

5

Everyone from Herrington-Carmichael who have helped us with the sale of our house and purchase of our new one have been professional, efficient but friendly and approachable.
We are in our 70s, have bought and sold a number of properties. This is far and away the best firm of solicitors we have ever met.
They are very highly recommended.

I had a difficult house due to problems in the chain move but Pam Kamel and Laura Oakley was extremely communicative, efficient, fast, kind and helpful throughout. I would not hesitate to recommend the company.

As first time buyers using HTB, we were really nervous about the whole process. We’ve been told time and time again that solicitors are awful, they won’t respond, you’ll have to chase them etc. Well this was not our experience at all! Laura Oakley was incredible from day one, replying to emails within the day every time despite my many questions. We had an issue with having to ask for permission to keep pets in the property and she sorted this and got consent for us within days (as you can imagine this was sooo stressful for us so we were grateful for the speed she did this in!) I’ve called their offices a few times when I had questions I wanted to get sorted quickly and she (and whoever else picked up) always responded in a very friendly manner, like nothing was too much. We’ve just Exchanged and I’m hoping completion goes just as smoothly.
Couldn’t recommend Herrington Carmichael more, I truly believe our journey has been so smooth due to Laura’s commitment to helping us
