No communication, not helpful
Being a first time buyer (it is stressful as it is), I would have liked them to explain me things instead of just sending me paperwork without even explaining what is… And using technical words that Im not familiar with. Horrible communication, they never kept me informed of anything and took such a long time to respond back with any query- I was being evicted from another property and I had to end up booking and air bnb (they wouldn't give me any time frames, I didn’t even know how long to book the airbnb for). I ended up booking it for two months (just in case). After having explained all this to them in several occasions, they still failed to be clear with me. I kept asking them to give me some sort of time frame and they only notified me about the moving in date with 2 weeks in advance. I had to pay the Airbnb and the house for a whole month because of them not being able to give me a completion date before. Vanessa was supposed to be dealing with my property and when the time of closing the deal came (the last month of the process) she was out of the office for a couple of weeks without even letting me know. They sent me invoices with the wrong amount on it - good that I checked, there was a HUGE difference… I had to call them as I almost had a heart attack thinking how I was going to pay for that… I have never had such a bad experience. Would not recommend, sorry

Very professional and very friendly
Vanessa Newman and the team were always helpful and friendly whenever I asked a question or had any concerns. All answers were quick and concise and explained in such a way that I could understand exactly what was going on. They were very easy to reach, usually being able to get in contact with them immediately.
I highly recommend their services and would very likely use them in future.

Sale and Purchase Conveyance move from South Cambs to Felixstowe
With all the problems of dealing with selling and buying a property, we can sincerely say that Vanessa and her team where the one part of the entire process that we are delighted with, from the very first contact through to completion on both properties.
We found their services to be personal, calm and reassuring, which is exactly what you need during a stressful house move.
We would have no hesitation to recommend her services to friends and family.
Thank you very much Vanessa, Carla and Malcolm for all your hard work.
Kind regards
Jeff & Jill

Highly recommended for a smooth transaction
The estate agents wanted us to use their 'preferred' solicitors, but so glad we didn't listen and found Vanessa and her team for our house purchase last year. She made the whole process as easy as possible, explained every step clearly and kept us updated of progress. Highly recommended and we would definitely use again.

Vanessa and her team have been a God send. I had to navigate leaving a controling situation and came across challenges that were unnecessarily stressful . I felt like I was in safe hands with Vanessa. She conducts herself with dignity and integrity. She didn't allow the situation to phase her, she stood firm in the face of the challenges that where thrown her way from the sale/transfer of equity side of the sale/purchase. Her conduct was clear ,consistent and also reassuring. Her communication with myself and the developer was smooth and again consistent.
I also have to mention Malcolm and Carla , every time I called they where knowledgeable, able to communicate and update me and always warm.
Very happy in my new home and greatful for Vanessa and her team for getting me there.

Vikki and I have used Vanessa Newman on three property sales now and on each occasion Vanessa has been brilliant. We we able to pop in to her office for impromptu meetings, call or email and get an immediate response. Her team of Carla, Malcom and Gary are excellent at what they do too. The pricing is fixed and we thought very reasonable for such a great service. I would give Vanessa and her team a ten star rating if i could and, wouldn’t consider using anyone else in the area to support your conveyancing needs. I would like to personally thanks Vanessa and her team for providing s with a great services… thanks team Vanessa. X

About this branch
Description
Conveyancing firms are often solicitors who offer the personal service but are old school in their approach to problems, fighting amongst themselves over issues rather than resolving them, and not overly concerned about technology or the time the transaction takes. The alternative is large online conveyancers who are very technology and timescale led but who completely lack any personal service at all, as the transactions may be dealt with by teams and a client may never get to speak to the same person twice. We want to take the best of both services and offer the client a service where they can be assured that we use as much technology as is possible to assist us in the transaction, we will think outside of the box to find solutions to problems, we will get the transaction to completion as quickly as possible and we will make sure that the client has a personal service from their fee earner.
