Excellent Conveyancing Service by Kate Gurney at Herrington Carmichael
My wife and I were referred to Herrington Carmichael LLP by a friend who spoke highly of their services, particularly those provided by Kate Gurney. We instructed the firm in late 2023 after our property purchase offer was accepted, and the experience has been nothing short of excellent.
Our purchase involved a chain, which took longer than we had initially expected. However, Kate handled everything with the utmost professionalism and patience. She not only carefully explained every step of the process to us but also went through several iterations of queries with the seller’s side to ensure that all our concerns were fully addressed and that our interests were thoroughly protected.
Kate’s attention to detail in risk assessment, her meticulous review of all necessary searches, and her commitment to making sure we had everything we needed provided us with great peace of mind. She was always available and very responsive to answer our questions (even on Sat!!) and took our calls with patience and understanding, no matter how many times we reached out.
Despite the complexities and the length of the transaction, Kate made us feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. Her dedication, expertise, and exceptional client service truly set her apart.
If you are looking for a conveyancing firm that goes above and beyond, we highly recommend Herrington Carmichael LLP, especially Kate Gurney. She made what could have been a stressful experience into a smooth and reassuring journey.

Reliable and Trusting
We have had an excellent conveyancing service through HC. They are excellent at what they do and enable you to have complete faith in their ability to get the job done and advise you along the way should you need it. Often in a chain you can get pressure from other parties so HC's ability (thank you Ellie) to cut to the chase and give the right professional advice was excellent. You won't be disappointed if you use this firm.
