Within 3 days of completion of embassy Gardens I was unable to proceed with browning Court because probate had not been done. I have now had to pay to put my furniture in storage and now living with a friend.

Consistently went the extra mile

Fiona and the team worked extremely hard to overcome some difficult circumstances in dealing with the vendors solictors. If we had used a different solictors firm I'm not sure we'd have completed. Thankyou so much!

Excellent team

5

Fiona and her team worked extremely hard to complete a sale and purchase for us. When the purchase became a little more complex, Fiona really pulled it all together and we felt reassured that everything possible was being done to get it to completion.

Understanding all round !

5

It took a step back from us and a little understanding and Lauren and Fiona delivered efficiently and on time. The receipt of a simple reassuring email and important information at all hours of the day was not unusual. To put faces to names when we met was the icing on the cake ! First class, girls, first class !

Good Quality

4

Just recently sold our house in Northumberland this September 2021 through MSP Legal Services in Hartlepool. I feel that everyone has got to remember this year(2021) has been another challenging year not only with Covid-19 still around but the Stamp Duty 0% Government offers during 2020-2021 that end at the end of this month so l feel that MSP Legal Services have coped so well during these busy and unprecedented times. I dealt with Fiona and Lauren who were so helpful in our sale, l cannot thank them enough. I understand previous comments about phone not being answered, l sometimes too did not get through at first through there phone system but they always got back to me via E-Mail, plus l must give extra credit to Fiona and Lauren that not only did they contact me late at night via E-Mail but also during weekends so this service was exceptional.
Their rates were very reasonable l must say.
I would use MSP again.

That Personal Touch

5

Selling a house, were having great trouble with our estate agent, who had allowed the cash buyer (and the buyer's solicitor) to stall and delay the purchase for over seven months.
We were almost driven to the point of putting the house back on the market when Fiona Smith, senior partner at PSP, took decisive action to get the completion date agreed.

We can't praise her enough for her personal and kind efforts in ending this nightmare for us.
She replied quickly to our emails and phone calls, and it was a real pleasure to speak to her often in those final few weeks leading to the long overdue completion.

She has that rare personal touch which puts you at ease and lifts your spirits, while being very involved in putting matters right.

Fiona and the team did an excellent job of completing a house sale and purchase for us. Timelines changed quickly throughout, and Fiona was able to keep the process on course. She mediated for us on a couple of issues, and often worked well out of office hours to assist us when necessary. Fiona also resolved a post sale issue, which we were very grateful for. We wouldn’t hesitate to use MSP again, and would highly recommend them.
