House purchase

Leanne smith was super efficient throughout the whole process. All of my queries were resolved and her communication was second to none. Buying a house is often a stressful process although my experience was stress free.

Wonderful service

I have used Leanne’s services previously and she has always been great - this was no less the case on my most recent house purchase. Leanne is efficient, helpful and communicative and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

We have dealt with Leanne for our last two house purchases and cannot rate her service highly enough. Leanne's communication is friendly and human and her service is prompt and concise, I have always felt confident with Leanne acting on our behalf.

Excellent conveyancer - a flag bearer for the profession

5

The buying and selling processes took about 5 months but with only 2 in the chain below and 1 above this was longer than we expected. However, during the whole of the time our excellent conveyancer (Leanne) and her assistant (Katie) were consistent - timely communication (phone and email responses usually with 30 minutes) and efficient (neither qualities that we had expected from Solicitors!). Always professional (and friendly) - indeed a pleasure to deal with. The final invoices for the two transactions were marginally less than the quoted fees - great value for money given the time involved and the constant "chasing" required. We would recommend them.

Recent sale and purchase

5

Leanne and team (Katie Lane) were fantastic at guiding me through a recent very challenging sale and purchase. The process was prolonged, but Leanne was always available to give sound advice and to offer a listening ear. Leanne is very personable and responsive, and remained calm and professional even when dealing with very challenging counterparties. Thank you!

Deciding to sell two houses and buy another in three months is not a small undertaking.

From the moment we engaged with Leanne I can honestly say her service, communication, speed, diligence and professionalism has been second to none.

In particular I really appreciated the level of availability Leanne afforded us, I was always able to speak with her and she always had time for me. Responses to requests came back at lightning speed and she chased other elements of the chain constantly.

I have not had a service as good as Leanne’s in all the times I have bought or sold houses, should I be in the need of conveyancing again, there are no others in consideration.

Thank you Leanne

We cannot thank Leanne Smith enough, she has been absolutely amazing with the conveyancing of 3 properties. Leanne has helped us so much during the process, we honestly don’t know what we would have done without her, she is a true asset to Foort Taylor, the best conveyancer ever! Thank you so much Leanne!

I used Leanne Smith for the conveyancing for the sale of my old flat and purchase of a new one. Both had their own challenges and were not straight forward but Leanne was communicative, supportive, clear, efficient and a pleasure to deal with. I have had patchy and frustrating experiences with conveyancing lawyers in the past but, at last, I have found some one I would use again and happily recommend to anyone.

Encouraged by the experience of my line manager, I instructed Foort-Tayler for conveyancing of my first property purchase. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Leanne was knowledgeable, kind and always found time to address queries, concerns and general first time nerves. Grateful and impressed.
