House sale

5

Levi Solicitors provided a really good service throughout the conveyancing of our house in Leeds 17.
Communication was provided regularly and we were able to access a reliable and knowledgeable contact at any time who was most helpful with all the information we needed to supply and who appraised with the position of the sale constantly.

Gillian was excellent from start to finish with our sale and purchase. Very responsive and handled everything professionally.

Highly recommend Levi Solicitors

5

I recently engaged Levi Solicitors for the sale of my house and the transfer of equity to purchase my brother’s half of our parents' house. Throughout the process, I was consistently kept informed by two dedicated teams—one handling the purchase and the other managing the equity transfer. Their communication was impeccable, ensuring I was aware of every development and step taken.
My brother, who was involved in the transfer and purchasing a new house, also worked with a separate team at Levi Solicitors. His experience mirrored mine, with the solicitor providing exemplary service and seamless coordination.
The professionalism and efficiency displayed by Levi Solicitors were truly commendable. They made what could have been a stressful and complicated process smooth and manageable. I highly recommend Levi Solicitors to anyone looking to buy or sell a property.

I had a very positive experience with Levi Solicitors and will definitely be using them again for conveyancing work. Team Sandford & Team Dickinson gave great support and advice throughout the whole conveyancing process. The teams were easy to contact and provided speedy responses. Scott from Team Dickinson was great, he was available for calls regularly as the process got closer to exchanging and completing and provided great advice for a first time buyer!
