Transfer Of Equity

Ash has been very helpful. Not once have I needed to contact him to chase things up. Everything happened as & when he said it should have and the completion date was met. It's been a nice, easy transaction which has made my difficult situation that little bit easier and a lot less stressful.

Fantastic, knowledgeable and supportive.

We have used Melanie Bridgens service's on 2 seperate occasions. Both with the best outcome we could have asked for with regards our children.
Melanie is very informative, listens and understood our position. She is knowledgeable and explained where we stood in a way we could understand.

We would definitely recommend Melanie and if we find oursleves in the unfortunate position of needing a solicitor for our children again Melanie would be our 1st point of call.
Thank you Melanie.

Outstanding service

We recently used Sanche for our first house purchase and had a great experience. Sanche was very professional, knowledgeable, and communicative throughout the entire process.

He made sure to answer all of our questions and kept us updated on every step of the transaction.

We felt confident that our best interests were being represented and that all legal aspects were being handled properly.

We would highly recommend asking for Sanche in your house purchase to ensure a smooth and successful transaction.

Very poor experience at the start with the first solicitor assigned to our file, to the point we were looking to go elsewhere, we received little to no communication, poor response times if any at all..

We were then contacted by Sanche Tutter from the conveyance team (thankfully the first solicitor had gone on annual leave and Sanche had been passed our file) from there onwards the service was absolutely faultless, great communication throughout, always kept in contact & kept us up to date with every little detail even whilst Sanche was ill he was contacting us from home and keeping us informed with what was happening with our property purchase,

We had some dealings with other members of staff in-between and unfortunately the experience was as poor as the first solicitor assigned but for Sanche’s service alone we will be leaving a 5 star review.
