Highly Recommend Meadows & Co for Property Transactions

5

I recently worked with Meadows & Co on both the sale of my previous home and the purchase of my new property, and I couldn't be more pleased with their service. Alastair, my solicitor, was exceptional throughout the entire process. He was not only highly knowledgeable and thorough but also incredibly responsive and supportive, making what could have been a stressful experience much smoother.

Alastair kept me informed every step of the way, promptly addressing any questions or concerns I had. His attention to detail and professionalism gave me confidence that everything was being handled with care. I was particularly impressed with how efficiently he managed the complexities of the sale and purchase simultaneously.

If you're looking for a reliable and experienced team to handle your property transactions, I highly recommend Meadows & Co, especially Alastair. Their dedication and expertise made all the difference!

Outstanding Service

5

Engaged Meadows Ryan on recommendation of our estate agent, John D Wood.
They were very responsive and communicated really well. Always available and returned calls promptly.
Our 1st buyer fell through which Alastair Hargreaves predicted due to lack of activity from the buyers solicitor.
Our next buyer was in a rush but due to holidays everything happened in a week including exchanging and completing on the same day. All handled coolly and clinically by Alastair. it did help that he was very local so signatures were never an issue.! Great job.

I would recommend everybody to use Meadows Ryan. We were lucky enough to use Alastair Hargreaves at Meadows Ryan Solicitors for our first house purchase. After a very stressful experience with estate agents and a property that fell through, Alastair kept us reassured and provided some great advice. Alastair was so helpful and patient throughout the whole process and kept us updated the whole time through to completion. All of the team at Meadows Ryan are very professional and reassuring. Everything ran very smoothly start to finish which really helped during a daunting new process for us.

Thank you again! Lauren and George.

Alastair Hargreaves easily gets five stars for his handling of both the Sale and Purchase of properties for us. Alastair is highly responsive, always available, completely professional, creative when we needed to resolve issues, dealt with ever changing dates calmly and went more than the extra mile when our purchase was delayed. He did everything possible to get us Completed before Christmas. Would happily work with Alastair again and will definitely be recommending him and Meadows Ryan in future. Thank you very much!
