Barry
I am not too experienced with domestic conveyancing. Are any of us? So when we accepted an offer for our home, it was time to find a great lawyer. And we did! Zara Banday metaphorically ‘took our hands’ and guided us from start to finish with skill, care, consideration and most importantly with our best interests in mind at all times. I know that Zara will have been dealing with many clients simultaneously but she never failed to reply to an email, return a call or respond to our buyer’s solicitor, all in a timely fashion.
She is also rather adept at offering help to her counterpart from the buyers legal team when they rely on an inexperienced solicitor who doesn’t appear to know what to do. .
I don’t often recommend because it can get you into trouble. But on this occasion I can unhesitatingly advise anyone who is reading this, to contact Zara Banday at Slater Heelis. Selling your house is likely to be the biggest transaction of your life. I urge you to get Zara on your team before your buyer nips in ahead of you!!

Divorce, conveyancing and wills
Thanks to an extremely contentious and unpleasant divorce, I needed a lot of help and guidance from Heather. She helped me navigate the process and supported me throughout. I can't thank her enough.
Zara handled the house sale, which again was more complicated and protracted than it needed to be, but she kept all parties on track. Finally, Paul helped me set up my new will, so that I feel settled about the future. Huge thanks to you all.

Wonderful FTB Experience
Zara and her team were a pleasure to work with and made the whole experience smooth from start to finish. All questions were met with understand and prompt answers. Potential issues with third parties that weren't even on my radar were investigated and quizzed ensuring as many bases were covered as possible.
Felt like there were no hold ups from our side as Zara was on top of queries and chased the other side diligently when required.
The quote was remarkably similar to the final cost meaning my budget wasn't impacted by any surprise costs.

Thorough, informative and communicative. Worth every penny.
Throughout the entire house move process Slater Heelis kept us fully informed of developments. They were thorough and made sure we were kept informed of everything throughout. The developer attempted to pressure us to complete multiple times despite the required paperwork not being in place. Slater Heelis made sure that any of those attempts were pushed back and acted in our interests. There’s too much for me to list here but rest assured that Slater Heelis are well worth the money. We do not have any intention to move any time soon but if and when that time comes we’ll use Slater Heelis again.

Sale of my parents' flat
Slater Heelis were extremely helpful all the way through the process of selling my parents' flat. They dealt promptly with queries and correspondence from the buyers' solicitors and from me. Both the partner (Zara Banday) and the conveyancing executive (Charlotte Padmore) work quite long hours to get things done as I received many enquiries and responses long after office hours.

Caring Professional Service
In our roles as financial planners we evaluate our clients current financial situation, and determining their short and long term financial goals, then creating a strategic plan to meet these goals and objectives.
Part of our life planning process is discussing and dealing our eventual death and what our requirements are for dealing with our estate.
A will is the only way to make sure your money, property, possessions and investments (known as your estate) go to the people and causes you care about.
A will that has been drawn up by professional persons who demonstrate Care and the willingness listen is priceless!
We have known and worked alongside Chris Partington for many years, his professionalism and sense of care and willingness to go that extra mile for and on behalf of our clients, has been reflected in the strength of our client relationship.
