Residential Property Purchase

Jackie filled me with confidence from our first communication. She is very professional and communicated well throughout the buying process. Our property purchase didn't turn out to be as straightforward as we had hoped but Jackie (and Marilyn) were forensic, proactive and very supportive. I would thoroughly recommend their service and will definitely use again if the need arises.

House purchase.

Jackie and Marilyn were always approachable, helpful and highly knowledgeable. Jackie was persistent when the seller’s solicitors were not forthcoming with information . She waded through reams of papers and made the process understandable for myself . The whole process was made clear to me and I was regularly updated with the situation .

As we live in New Zealand, we asked our estate agent who they would recommend to handle the sale of our property. The agent stated that the only agent he was 100% happy to refer us to was Jackie Stay at Lennons.

Jackie was on holiday when our sale started but her assistant Marilyn was super-efficient at getting all of the documentation and necessary paperwork sorted in Jackie's absence, so the process was not impacted at all.

The sale (leasehold) was complex and extremely tight on timings and both Jackie and Marilyn remained calm, efficient, good-humoured and professional the whole way through, managing to complete at the agreed date, much to our surprise and delight!

Our huge thanks to you both and the team at Lennons for your work in helping us navigate through this sale.

We've just completed purchase of our Property and it was a smooth process thanks mainly to Lennon's namely Jackie and Marilyn . They were friendly and patient with our queries , always kept us in the loop with regards to communications and helped our completion to be done without a hitch.

Would highly recommend Lennon's for their professional friendly and clear knowledge of the mortgage process

When moving house there are a number of potential pitfalls, one of the major ones is the conveyancer, who is such a key element of the whole transaction.

Personally, all I can say is thank goodness we chose Jackie Stay at Lennon's!

We had such a nightmare of a transaction! Jackie, and her assistant Marilyn Young, were exceptional. They navigated the obstacles, provided brilliant communication throughout, professionally handled all the complexities of the purchase/sale and really helped every step of the way.

Overall, we purchased the home we wanted, sold our house and now can safely say there isn't any other solicitor we would go to.

Massive thank you to both of you.
