Exceptional Conveyancing Service!

I cannot recommend Russell & Russell highly enough! From start to finish, they provided an exceptional level of service, making the entire conveyancing process smooth, stress-free, and efficient. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and clear communication ensured that I was always kept informed and reassured throughout.

Lucy went above and beyond to handle everything with care and precision, responding promptly to any questions and making the process as seamless as possible. Her expertise and dedication were evident at every stage, and I truly felt like I was in safe hands.

I will definitely be using Russell & Russell’s services again in the future and recommending them to family and friends.

Thank you for making what can often be a stressful process so easy and straightforward!

Conveyancing services

I have instructed Karen Woods of Russell and Russell to undertake legal work on the sale and purchase of many properties for myself, family and clients over many years and have always been pleased by her level of service and charges. Although on line conveyancers can be a little cheaper, I find having a local conveyancer, with an office to drop paperwork in to, is a huge advantage and worth paying a little more for. I have used on line conveyancers before but invariably have disappointed me.

Excellent service

This is our second time using Russell & Russell and we cannot fault the service. Even though we do not live near the office, we have been able to sort out everything in an efficient manner.

FTB purchase of property

We went with Russell & Russell for conveyancing for our first house purchase. Laura Muir was assigned to us and she was fantastic, we had some complications with the property which Laura was great at sorting out and she supported us to work to a quite ambitious timeframe for completion. Really happy with the service provided.

Just completed on my 6th!! house sale with Russell & Russell over several years and thought I should finally leave a review!

Each transaction has been dealt with professionally, timely and with good humour sprinkled in!

Special mention to Karen Woods and Diane Asbury and of course the rest of the team too.

There's a reason why I've always used them time after time for my conveyancing needs - they're the best!

Fantastic service from all at Russell and Russell, the second time we have used their services. They were so professional, helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. They made the process so smooth and easy. We were informed about progress and the next steps and kept constantly informed. Emails were answered immediately and answers to questions we asked found out straight away. They took the stress out of buying a house and were so enthusiastic and genuinely please for us when we got our dream property. Would recommend Russell and Russell Solicitors and give them a 10 out of 10. Charlotte and Jos Jobse.
