Eccles Heddon represented me in an agricultural matter with my landlord. They handled my case very efficiently and with great competence and i wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

House and Land Purchase
Oliver was exceptional from start to finish. It was a complex sale with many hurdles but he skillfully overcame each one, giving us clear direction on the issues and any risks associated. He gave us daily updates when required and continually chased the vendors solicitors to ensure the sale went through in a timely manner. We fully trusted his judgement. He went above and beyond and we could not recommend him more highly. Do not hesitate is using Oliver for your conveyancing.

Exceptional
Both Oliver and Margaret did a wonderful job for me in dealing with an extremely complicated conveyancing transaction. Nothing was too much trouble, both were always and immediately available both via email and phone. I have been buying and selling a portfolio of properties for over 35 years and Eccles Heddon is without doubt the best and most efficient I have ever dealt. I can’t praise them highly enough.

Top Marks!
Oliver was efficient, calm, and always available to answer any questions .
My only criticism would be with the receptionist - or whoever answers the phone - who always seemed totally unaware and unfamiliar with clients/what Oliver was working on or where he was . I m not sure it works having one receptionist for multiple offices ?

Superb Service!
The team at EH again gave me superb service in my recent purchase of a slightly tricky coastal property in East Anglia. They were fastidious, efficient and straightforward in all their communications both with me and the vendors solicitor and despite various complications further down the chain they got me through the process. I cannot thank them enough and will certainly use them again. I would recommend them unreservedly to friends and family which I think is the best test!

A tricky out of county coastal conveyance
Oliver and team were superb in their help and support in my recent purchase of a coastal property in east anglia. They were attentive, kind and efficient and gave me excellent advice when the chain faltered on more than one occasion. Finally we got over the line very much thanks to their patience and skilled negotiations
