Sincere Gratitude

Having reached the decision to downsize to a smaller property after 42 years at the same address, we were somewhat apprehensive. But the advice and support we received from Roisin Pinkney helped us through what was at times a protracted and frustrating experience. There were times when we might have given up had it not been for the encouragement we received from Roisin and Jessica and the complete trust we came to have in them.
We are truly grateful for the wonderful service we received

Professional, courteous, prompt and empathetic support.

Following the passing of my mother, we engaged Herrington Carmichael to support us through the emotionally difficult process of both probate and distribution of funds from the sale of her assets. If you've been through this, you'll know how emotionally challenging and time consuming it can be.
Throughout the year long process we engaged with numerous members of the team, but one stands out for his support.
We found Piers Galton-Becque to be excellent in his communication, showing empathy, understanding and is clearly a competent and valuable asset to Herrington Carmichael.
I don't normally provide reviews, but on this occasion it felt wholly appropriate.

I have recently completed on my first property and used Ellena as my conveyancer. She was absolutely amazing and made the whole process as easy as it could be for me. Her thoroughness and attention to detail gave me complete piece of mind and she was always on the ball with updates. As well as being super approachable and patient with all of my questions. Could not recommend anyone more.

We recently used Herrington Carmichael for our house sale and purchase, we primarily dealt with Roisin and Ellan who impressed us with their efficiency and ability to put us at ease despite a few hiccups along the way which were out of their control. We would not hesitate to use this company again!

Lease Extensions

I had my Lease Extension from a Housing Association completed with Herrington Carmichael LLP acting as my Solicitors.
I promised Samantha Laker my Solicitor a review when I received my final updated copies of the Land Registry documents. Sadly due to Land Registry taking over 1 year 6 months to process my papers, Samantha Laker has now left the firm. However, I happily leave the following 5 Star review for her and Herrington Carmichael as Solicitors:
I am diagnosed with ASD/Autism and ADHD. I was treated from the beginning with respect and support and understanding by both Samantha Laker and her colleagues at Herrington Carmichael LLP.
Samantha Lakers work was excellent: efficient and accurate throughout and I would have no hesitation in recommending her work as a Lease Extension Solicitor.
Samantha Lakers work was a credit to Herrington Carmichael LLP and it was a pleasure to sign my new 990 year Lease with her at the offices. A day I will never forget.
I wish her well in her future career.
Thank you so much for making a daunting task such a pleasure.
Kind regards to all involved and a big Thank You.
5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
