Above and beyond - excellent service

We recently used Kitson Boyce to do our conveyancing and were extremely impressed with the team. Lauren and Sarah were always courteous, professional, fast communicators and reassuring too (it's a stressful time!).
Would definitely recommend Kitson Boyce

Purchase and Sale of Business premises

This review is for a different branch.

I have used Cheryl Baxter at Kitson Boyce for both the purchase and sale of my business premises. On both occasions it has been a pleasure dealing with Cheryl who made the process very easy and straightforward to understand. The service received from Cheryl was outstanding, she always answered and returned telephone calls and responded to emails which was very reassuring when dealing with what was at times a frustrating transaction. I would not hesitate to use Kitson Boyce again and happy to recommend Cheryl Baxter.

Corporate issues

This review is for a different branch.

In recent years we have had to deal with taking action against our accountants (now changed) for bad advice and administration, and more recently, we have been involved in the potential sale of the business. Despite difficulties with potential purchasers, Corri Pedrick and her team have provided first class advice and back up. Everything has been dealt with promptly and efficiently at all times and in every aspect. I would not hesitate to recommend Kitson Boyce to others

Isobel Armstrong has helped us every step of the way

This review is for a different branch.

We instructed Kitson Boyce to act for us on the sale of our house which like many property sales can be stressful at some stages. At every stage Isobel was there with answers to our questions and reassurance on things.

I would ask her to act for us in the future even the the property was nowhere near Devon.

Cannot recommend her highly enough.

Eviction problems

This review is for a different branch.

I have happily used Boyce Hatton for many years and wondered whether the change into Kitson Boyce would alter my views of the service offered. I need not have worried. I had excellent advice from Rhoda Honey, and the usual friendly efficient help I've always received. I felt that Rhoda understood and empathised with my problems and I really appreciated that during an extremely stressful period. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Great service throughout.

This review is for a different branch.

I was involved in a bicycle accident resulting in significant injury to my hand. I had to have a lot of time off work and being self employed with a young family was extremely worrying. Fiona was brilliant throughout the process, explaining everything to me about the process to claim compensation. The accident was life changing but having the support from Fiona and her team to help me claim compensation meant I could still support my family.

Lauren guided me through a purchase of a flat sold through the auction method, of a leasehold with shared freehold where a previous sale of one of the leases had yet to complete through land registry introducing delays to the time frame of auction sale/purchase. Each step of the way Laurens communication was clear and understandable, addressing my own questions and standard legal points plus further points that Lauren determined as relevant to this specific transaction as such it was not treated as a tick list, but what did this client require for this particular transaction, providing options and proposals for now and future consideration. Certainly recommended, I for one will look to use Lauren’s legal services in the future.

I had Lauren from Kitson Boyce to do the conveyancing on my mum's property. I was acting in my capacity as having power of attorney for my mum. From the outset, Lauren made the experience as stress-free as it could be. What stood out for me were her fantastic people-skills and friendliness. She was responsive and answered any questions incredibly quickly. I appreciated having a professional who was able to translate 'legalese' into plain English! I highly recommend both Lauren and Kitson Boyce to anyone requiring legal advice.

We had Lauren Jeffrey help us in the purchase of our house. She was an absolute DREAM to work with. She was on the ball, efficient and extremely quick. We had to deal with alot of curve balls and she was there to deal with them straight away for us she really made a stressful time alot easier. I can't recommend Lauren enough she is absolutely lovely. Everyone we worked with even said they've never worked with such a good solicitor and how amazing she was. If you're buying a home she is 100% your woman.

Conveyancing. Lauren Jeffry and the Totnes office team proved to be a breath of fresh air. So refreshing to find someone who is client motivated, proactive and determined to provide satisfaction. I felt very well looked after and informed through the whole process. Always accessible, quick to respond and go that extra mile. I could not have asked for better.
